13. Do’s and Don’ts
DO
✔ Ensure that the ClassiFire alarm factor is appropriately set.
✔ Ensure that power and signal cables are correctly connected before powering up
by use of cable identifiers or electrical continuity checks. Incorrect connection
could damage the detector.
✔ Ensure that cable of an appropriate approved type is used for interconnection.
✔ Place sampling points so that the detector will be able to detect smoke at the
earliest opportunity.
✔
Ensure that the detector exhaust is in an area with the same atmospheric pressure
as the sampling pipes, either by placing the detector physically in the protected
area or by leading a pipe from the detector exhaust to the protected area.
✔ Ensure that the environment of the protected area is within the environmental
operating parameters of the detector (temperature -10 to +60°C, (humidity
0-90%, non-condensing).
✔ Close unused pipe inlet ports on the detector to ensure optimal operation.
DON’T
✘ Forget to set the appropriate ClassiFire alarm factor for the area to be detected.
✘ Forget to set the Detector Address Switches correctly when used in a network.
✘ Site detectors in damp or exposed areas.
✘ Remove or connect boards when the detector is powered up.
✘ Connect internal 0 volt terminals to local earth.
✘ Attempt to re-use dust separator cartridges once removed.
✘ Attempt to adjust or alter detector settings other than via the user-programmable
functions. In particular, the setting up of the laser is a precision task, and once set
up the potentiometers should be left alone. If it is suspected that the laser focus
has shifted (e.g. after dropping the detector), it should be returned to the
manufacturer for recalibration.
✘
Place the detector near high power RF sources.
✘ Place the detector so close to other equipment that there is insufficient room to
access and change the dust separator. See section 10. ‘Maintenance’.
✘
Use sampling pipe of less than 27mm outside diameter without a suitable 27mm
pipe adapter.
✘
Use excessive force when fitting sampling pipes as this may damage the detector.
