Metasys 2551J, Manual

12    Intelligent Products—2551J and 2551TJ Plug-In Intelligent Photoelectronic Smoke Detector

Functional Test Magnet (M02-04-01)

This detector can be functionally tested with a test magnet.  The test
magnet causes the electronic simulation of smoke in the sensing chamber,
and tests the detector’s electronics and connections to the control panel.

1.

Place the magnet against the cover opposite the test module socket to
activate the test feature (Figure 4).

2.

The LEDs should latch on within 30 seconds indicating alarm and
annunciating the panel.

Sensitivity Test Module (MOD400R)

The MOD400R is used with your Digital Multimeter (DMM) or voltmeter
to check the detector sensitivity as described in the MOD400R’s manual.

If the detector’s sensitivity limits or the MOD400R limits do not appear on
the back of the detector, the MOD400R is not suitable for field sensitivity
testing of that unit.

Smoke Entry Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501) per NFPA 72-National
Fire Alarm Code

The field test tool is the Gemini model 510 aerosol generator.

1.

Set the generator to represent 4 to 5%/ft obscuration as described in
the Gemini 501 manual.

2.

Using the bowl-shaped applicator, apply aerosol until unit alarms.

This test only verifies proper operation of the detector, and is not used
to test sensitivity.
