System Sensor 2251B, 2251TB, and 2251TMB Intelligent Photoelectric - Manual (Page 2)

B. Smoke Entry
The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry
testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as de-
scribed in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator,
apply aerosol until the panel alarms.
Additionally, canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent)
may be used for smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and
approved aerosol smoke products are:
MANUfACTURER MODEL
Home Safeguard Industries 25S
SDi CHEK02 and CHEK06
SDi SOLOA4
SDi SMOKESABRE-01
When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector
to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for proper
use of the canned smoke agent.
CAUTION
Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by
manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long term adverse
effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer’s
published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements.
For 2251TMB, smoke entry testing should be performed immediately following
the magnet test. Magnet test initiates an approximately 10 minute period when
the detector’s signal processing software routines are not active. Failure to first
perform the magnet test will introduce a time delay before the detector alarms.
C. Direct Heat Method (Hair Dryer of 1000-1500 watts) 2251TB and
2251TMB only
A hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts should be used to test the thermistors. Di-
rect the heat toward either of the two thermistors, holding the heat source
approximately 12 inches from the detector in order to avoid damaging
the plastic housing. The detector will reset only after it has had sufficient
time to cool. Make sure both thermistors are tested individually.
A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under
CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced.
When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify
the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

CLEANINg
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent un-
wanted alarms.
1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Remove the sensor cover by pressing firmly on each of the four removal
tabs that hold the cover in place.
3. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning is
required continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 7.
4. Remove the chamber cover/screen assembly by pulling it straight out.
5. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from
the sensing chamber.
6. Reinstall the chamber cover/screen assembly by sliding the edge over the
sensing chamber. Turn until it is firmly in place.
7. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently
pushing it until it locks into place. Make sure that the thermistors do not
become bent under the cover on 2251TB and 2251TMB models.
8. Reinstall the detector.
9. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
10. Reconnect disabled circuits.
11. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
