TESTING
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance. However, before testing, notify the proper authorities that the
smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance and the system will be
temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing mainte-
nance to prevent unwanted alarms.
Testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Sensors offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in com-
pliance with NFPA 72.
Test the sensors as follows:
A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test
magnet electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing
the sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.
1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.
2. The sensor should alarm the panel.
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sen-
sor status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the
LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel tech-
nical documentation for sensor LED status operation and expected
delay to alarm.
B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501)
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
described in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applica-
tor, apply aerosol until the panel alarms.
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 the normal operation and
notify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

CLEANING
Before cleaning, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergo-
ing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service. Disable the system
to prevent unwanted alarms.
1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Remove the sensor cover. Press firmly on each of the four removal
tabs that hold the cover in place.
3. Vacuum the outside of the screen carefully. If further cleaning is
required, continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 5.
4. Use clean, compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sens-
ing chamber.
5. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently
pushing it until it locks into place.
6. Reinstall the detector.
7. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
8. Reconnect disabled circuits.
9. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
