Cleaning the duct smoke detector

Clean the duct smoke detector when it becomes 80% to 99%
dirty or sooner if conditions warrant.

Caution:

Before cleaning the duct smoke detector, notify the

proper authorities that the fire alarm system is undergoing
maintenance and take steps to prevent the control panel from
responding to a false alarm.

To clean the duct smoke detector:

1. Disable the detector/zone to prevent false alarms.

2. Remove the detector’s cover then power down the

detector by disconnecting the SLC wiring.

3. Using a vacuum cleaner, clean compressed air, or a soft

bristle brush, remove loose dirt and debris from inside the
detector housing and cover.

4. Remove dirt and other contaminants from the gasket on

the detector’s cover using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free
cloth.

5. Squeeze the retainer clips on both sides of the optic

housing then lift the housing away from the printed circuit
board.

6. Gently remove dirt and debris from around the optic plate

and inside the optic housing.

7. Replace the optic housing and detector cover, and then

connect the SLC wiring.

8. Test the detector and verify sensitivity. For details, refer to

Technical Bulletin P/N 3101212.
