4. Position the long axis of the test magnet against the side of the detector housing market TEST for at least 15 seconds (See Figure 6). The
detector should alarm as indicated by steady illumination of the alarm indicator. To return each detector to normal operation, reset the control
unit. OR
5. Allow smoke to enter the detector-sensing chamber for a minimum of 10 seconds. When sufficient smoke has entered the chamber, an alarm
will be indicated by continuous illumination of the LED. Reset each detector and/or control unit after it alarms before attempting to test additional
detectors in the same zone.
6. Failure to alarm in tests 4 or 5 indicates a detector requiring service.
7. After taking appropriate corrective action, re-engage Alarm Signal Devices, Releasing Devices and Extinguishing Systems and ensure that the
entire system is returned back to normal.
SENSITIVITY METERING FOR SMOKE (CPD & PSD) DETECTORS
The equipment and method used to meter Smoke Detector sensitivity is dependent on the Smoke Detector model. Select as follows and refer to the
document indicated for additional details:
Tester Detector Model Reference Document
ST-001 CPD-7051, CPD-7051D, PSD-7155, PSD-7155P, PSD-7155D, PSD-7156 70.50
DST-003 CPD-7054, CPD-7054D, PSD-7157, PSD-7157D 70-103
HEAT TEST FOR HEAT (THD) DETECTORS
Equipment Required
Commercially available low powered heat gun
Test Method
1. Disengage Alarm Signal Devices, Releasing Devices and Extinguishing Systems prior to performing the following test.
2. After powering the detector head for approximately 1 minute, check to see that the indicator LEDs flash. Failure to flash indicates a
nonfunctioning detector or faulty wiring. Recheck wiring and replace detector head if necessary.
3. Carefully heat the detector for a minimum period of 10 seconds using a low powered heat gun and maintaining a minimum 1-foot distance
between its nozzle and the detector. Avoid overheating the detector plastic housing. Use of open flame devices is not recommended as
discoloration of the plastic housing is likely and this is a potentially hazardous practice. The detector should alarm as indicated by steady
illumination of the alarm indicator LEDs. To return each detector to normal operation, reset the control unit.
4. Failure to alarm in test 3 indicates a defective detector requiring service.
5. After taking appropriate corrective action, re-engage Alarm Signal Devices, Releasing Devices and Extinguishing Systems and ensure that the
entire system is returned back to normal.
DETECTOR MAINTENANCE TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
The recommended requirement for detector maintenance consists of an annual cleaning of dust from the detector head by using the suction of a
vacuum cleaner. Cleaning programs should be geared to the individual environment in conformance with NFPA 72.
!
CAUTION
Do not attempt disassembly of the factory sealed smoke or heat detectors. This assembly is sealed for your protection and should
not be opened for servicing. Opening of the detector will void its warranty.
SPARE PARTS
Smoke and Heat Detectors and Bases are factory repairable only and have no field serviceable spare parts. No field repair should therefore be
attempted. For service, return the device intact to Kidde-Fenwal.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR CPD-705X DETECTORS
The Model CPD-7051, CPD-7051C, CPD-7051D, CPD-7054 and CPD-7054D Detectors contain Americium 241 as the radioactive source. This
source is shielded by a stainless steel housing and has a maximum activity of 0.8 microcuries (29.6 kBq).
DETECTOR DISPOSAL
The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) allows the user of Americium 241 filled smoke detectors to dispose of them without
obtaining a license.
Under the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 10 (10CFR), Paragraph 30.20, any person receiving, using, owning, etc., by-product material in
detectors designed to protect life or property from fires or airborne hazards is automatically granted a general license which, conversely, exempts
them from a specific license, thereby allowing them to both receive and dispose of smoke detectors without returning to the manufacturer.
