Chapter 3: Configuration and Commissioning
74 ModuLaser Modular Aspirating Smoke Detector Installation Manual
Configuration check
Ensure that the following have been correctly configured before performing
commissioning tests:
• Fire alarm thresholds and sensitivity settings
• Alarm delays
• Airflow parameters
• Any other configuration options for the intended application.
Finally, always change the default access codes (for all access levels) to prevent
unauthorized access (see “Access codes” on page 36 for details on how to do
this).
Commissioning tests
Ensure that the protected area is in its normal operational state before any
commissioning tests are performed. Commissioning must include sufficient
testing to verify that sampling holes are fully functional. Results from the tests
should be recorded for future reference.
Commissioning tests should include (but are not limited to):
• Maximum smoke transport time
• Fault detection
• Alarm detection (smoke tests)
Acclimation period
The detector operates at a reduced sensitivity for approximately 24 hours.
ClassiFire handles the appropriate day and night sensitivity settings, where
required. All air handling units, thermostats, and other systems that impact the
operating environment should be turned on to reflect normal operating
conditions.
FastLearn starts automatically if the detector is new (or restarting) and if Auto
FastLearn is enabled. The FastLearn process lasts approximately 15 minutes
and is followed by approximately 24 hours of intermediate learning (if Demo
mode is not enabled).
