4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the
control unit and activate the communication line.
5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section
of this manual.
Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne
dust particles during shipping. Dust covers must be re-
moved before the sensors can sense smoke. Remove sen-
sors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.
Testing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system
is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily be out of
service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodi-
cally thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum perfor-
mance when tested and maintained in compliance with
NFPA 72 and all applicable codes, ordinances and regula-
tions.

Figure 1:
The sensor can be tested in the following ways:
A. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator
Aerosol generators for smoke entry testing are available
from a number of third party manufacturers (e.g.,
Gemini Scientific). Following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, apply aerosol until the panel alarms.
Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the
LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control
panel technical documentation for sensor LED status
operation and expected delay to alarm.
B. Sensitivity:
The sensitivity of the detector can be monitored and
tested by the Hand Held Programmer. Refer to HHP docu-
mentation for sensitivity testing information. Certain
control panels may also monitor and test the detector’s
sensitivity. Refer to control panel documentation for sen-
sitivity testing information. The sensitivity indication is
independent of communication. An acceptable sensitiv-
ity range is stamped on the back of the sensor.
A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as
described under CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails
after cleaning, it must be replaced and returned for repair.
When testing is complete, restore the system to normal op-
eration and notify the proper authorities that the system is
back in operation.
