TrueAlarm

 Photoelectric Smoke Detectors output diagnostic data encoded in

each visible LED pulse.  The encoded data provides a present status indication
relevant to testing and inspection.  The 4098-9839 Data Reader hand-held test
unit, is used to read, display, store, and download diagnostic data.  The data
reader is battery powered, lightweight, and easy to read and interpret.  It is
capable of storing test data for downloading to the Test and Inspection
Reporting System
.  Memory is non-volatile, allowing the reader to be powered
down without losing data.  The reader decodes a detector’s diagnostic data and
provides immediate notification if the detector is outside its calibration limit.
The reader also has the capability to detect and indicate low voltage of its 9V
battery.

WARNING:

Do not depress all push buttons on the data reader
simultaneously, this can clear the memory.

Power is applied via an ON/OFF switch.  When powered ON, or by pressing the

SCAN

 button, the reader goes into scan mode, indicated by an illuminated red

LED.  Point the reader to the appropriate detector’s LED and bring it to within
12-inches of the detector.  When a valid reading is made, the green LED is
illuminated.  When the diagnostic data contains a trouble message the red LED
remains illuminated, otherwise only the green LED is illuminated.

To scan detectors that are located in inaccessible areas, attach the pole mounting
bracket (provided) to the reader.  With the bracket mounted to the reader it can
be attached to a testing pole.  See Figure 2 for mounting instructions.

Note: 

 Refer to Table 4 for a description of trouble flags and other diagnostic

data.

Table 1.  Status Descriptions for LED Lights

A three-digit integer number is displayed to indicate the memory position that is
available for the next storage event.  When a valid reading is made, and the
green LED is ON, the data can be stored into non-volatile memory for later off-
line downloading.  To store the data, press the 

STORE

 button and hold it down

for approximately two seconds until the green LED turns OFF and the memory
counter increments to the next number.  To increment the memory counter
without a valid reading, hold the 

STORE

 button down for approximately two

seconds until the counter increments to the next number.  This loads the memory
position with all zeros.
