CAUTION<br />
Dust covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust<br />
<strong>in</strong>to smoke detector sens<strong>in</strong>g chambers. However, they may<br />
not completely prevent airborne dust particles from enter<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the detector. Therefore, System Sensor recommends the<br />
removal of detectors before beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g construction or other<br />
dust produc<strong>in</strong>g activity.<br />
Be sure to remove the dust covers from any sensors that<br />
were left <strong>in</strong> place dur<strong>in</strong>g construction as part of return<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the system to service.<br />
CAUTION<br />
<strong>Smoke</strong> detectors are not to be used with detector guards<br />
unless the comb<strong>in</strong>ation has been evaluated and found<br />
suitable for that purpose.<br />
Test<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Before test<strong>in</strong>g, notify the proper authorities that the smoke<br />
detector system is undergo<strong>in</strong>g ma<strong>in</strong>tenance and will temporarily<br />
be out of service. Disable the zone or system undergo<strong>in</strong>g<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>tenance to prevent unwanted alarms. <strong>Detectors</strong><br />
must be tested after <strong>in</strong>stallation and as part of periodic<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>tenance. Test <strong>2151</strong> and <strong>2151</strong>T as follows:<br />
NOTE: Before test<strong>in</strong>g the detector, check to ensure the<br />
LEDs bl<strong>in</strong>k. If they do not, the detector has lost power<br />
(check the wir<strong>in</strong>g) or it is defective (return it for repair).<br />
A. Test Magnet (p/n M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)<br />
1. Place the magnet aga<strong>in</strong>st the cover <strong>in</strong> the location<br />
designated by the raised mark to activate the test feature<br />
(see Figure 1).<br />
2. The LEDs should latch ON with<strong>in</strong> 5 seconds <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
alarm and annunciat<strong>in</strong>g the panel.<br />
B. Aerosol Generator (Gem<strong>in</strong>i 501)<br />
Set the generator to represent 4% to 5%/ft. obscuration<br />
as described <strong>in</strong> the Gem<strong>in</strong>i 501 Manual. Us<strong>in</strong>g the bowlshaped<br />
applicator, apply aerosol until unit alarms.<br />
C. Direct Heat Method (Hair Dryer of 1000-1500 watts) <strong>2151</strong>T only<br />
A hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts should be used to test<br />
the thermistors. Direct the heat toward either of the two<br />
thermistors, hold<strong>in</strong>g the heat source approximately 12<br />
<strong>in</strong>ches from the detector <strong>in</strong> order to avoid damag<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
plastic hous<strong>in</strong>g. The detector will reset only after it has<br />
had sufficient time to cool. Make sure both thermistors<br />
are tested <strong>in</strong>dividually.<br />
Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on l<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
<strong>Detectors</strong> that fail these tests should be cleaned as described<br />
under MAINTENANCE and retested. If the detectors still<br />
fail these tests, they should be returned for repair.<br />
Clean<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Before remov<strong>in</strong>g the detector, notify the proper authorities<br />
that the smoke detector system is undergo<strong>in</strong>g ma<strong>in</strong>tenance<br />
