Cleaning the duct smoke detector
Clean the duct smoke detector when it becomes 80% to 99% dirty or
sooner if conditions warrant.
Caution: Before cleaning the duct smoke detector, notify the proper
authorities that the fire alarm system is undergoing maintenance and
take steps to prevent the control panel from responding to a false
alarm.
To clean the duct smoke detector:
1. Disable the detector or zone to prevent false alarms.
2. Remove the detector’s cover, and then power down the detector
by disconnecting the SLC wiring. See Figure 6.
3. Using a vacuum cleaner, clean compressed air, or a soft bristle
brush, remove loose dirt and debris from inside the detector
housing and cover.
4. Remove dirt and other contaminants from the gasket on the
detector’s cover using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
5. Squeeze the retainer clips on both sides of the optic housing then
lift the housing away from the printed circuit board. See Figure 8.
6. Gently remove dirt and debris from around the optic plate and
inside the optic housing.
7. Replace the optic housing and the detector cover, and then
connect the SLC wiring.
8. Test the detector and verify its sensitivity. For details, refer to
Application Bulletin P/N 3101107.
