10.4.10 Check Detector Sensitivity Through Point Status
The control panel constantly monitors smoke detectors to ensure that sensitivity levels are in compliance with
NFPA 72. Detectors are sampled every three hours.
If sensitivity for a detector is not in compliance, the panel goes into trouble, generating a Calibration Trouble
condition. A detector enters a Calibration Maintenance state to indicate that it is approaching an out of
compliance condition (but is currently still in compliance).
When a Calibration Trouble condition occurs, the central station receives a detector trouble report (“373” + Zone
# for Contact ID format; “FT” + Zone # in SIA format).
To check sensitivity for an individual detector, follow the steps below.
1. From the Main Menu, press 2 for Point Functions.
2. Press 2 for Point Status.
3. Select the module where the point you want to check is located.
4. Enter the number of the point you want to check and press ENTER.
5. A screen similar to those shown in Figure 10-3 will display.

You can print detector status by uploading the detector status to and printing from SKSS-2.
