MOUNT
Refer to the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems (P/N 800-15144) for
detailed information on detector spacing, placement zoning and
special applications. Copies of this document are available on
www.resideo.com.
NOTE
: Before mounting the detector permanently, conduct a Walk
test (see Control Panel’s instructions) to verify adequate signal
strength and adjust the device location and orientation as
necessary.
The detector can be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall (if local
ordinances permit). Select a location and mount using the included
mounting hardware.
Mount
DO NOT attach the detector to removable ceiling
panels. Attach the detector across panel support as
shown on the accompanying figure.
TESTING
The detector should be tested immediately after installation and at least once a year.
Recommended:
Notify the Central Station that the smoke detector is undergoing tests, so they do not dispatch authorities.
After enrolling, verify adequate signal strength by conducting a sensor test (see the Control Panel’s instructions) with the device in
its intended mounting location. Adjust the device location and orientation as necessary.
Tests and testing methods
There is no specific Test Mode that needs to be initiated to test smoke, heat, or Rate-of-Rise. These can be applied to the
detector at any time as a test.
•
Test Button – When the Test Button is held down, the unit initiates a test on the smoke sensor, chamber, heat sensor, End-of-
Life, and battery. If all tests pass, it sounds a normal alarm and sends alarm signal to the Control Panel. However, if one of
these tests fails, it sends a trouble signal to the Control Panel and provides fail status on the yellow led and sounder. The
Test Button is also used to silence or Hush the detector. To Hush the detector, press and release the large Test Button.
Depending on how much smoke is still in the chamber determines if the Hush feature silences the detector and make it send
an Alarm restore to the Control Panel. If there is too much smoke still in the chamber, it does not Hush nor send a restore to
the Control Panel. When Hush is successful, the sounder comes back on after 10 minutes and a restore signal is still not sent
provided there is still enough smoke in the chamber to be considered an alarm. Once the smoke level is below threshold in
the chamber, Hush causes the sounder to remain off and the restore signal is sent. See the LED and Sounder Indication
Chart on the next page.
•
Smoke Entry Test (canned smoke*) – Can be done at any time. Once the chamber is clear, the sounder will stop, and it will
send a restore signal to the Control Panel.
•
Direct Heat Test (hair dryer 12” or further from the detector)
•
135° F fixed Heat Detection
•
Rate-of-Rise >104° F (40° C) @ 15° F/minute (8.33° C/minute).
CAUTION:
The detector alarms when 135° F is exceeded and restore when it falls below 135° F. However, the thermistor is
damaged at 195° F and the integrity of the detector itself is compromised and needs to be replaced.
