Detector component replacement procedures
V-PCOS smoke chamber
V-PCOS smoke detectors have a replaceable smoke chamber. Replace the chamber with model number 2-
SPRC2 if the control panel still indicates a dirty detector after cleaning the detector. Refer to the 2-SPRC2 Smoke
Chamber Replacement Installation Sheet (P/N 3101596) for instructions.
CO sensor module
CO detectors use a 2-CORPL replacement sensor. Replace the sensor every six years from the date of
manufacture or when the control panel indicates a sensor end-of-life condition, whichever comes first. Refer to the
2-CORPL CO Replacement Module Installation Sheet (P/N 3101589) for instructions.
Note: For proper operation, never replace the CO sensor without also replacing the PCB because each board
has calibration data specific to the matching CO sensor.
