TAMPER RESISTANCE

Intelligent programmable temperature sensors include a tamper-resistant ca-
pability that prevents their removal from the base without the use of a tool. 
Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this capability.

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 periodically thereafter. Test-
ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors 
offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with 
NFPA 72.

A.  Test Magnet (Model No. M02-04 - optional)

 

1.   Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test 

area, as shown in Figure 3, to activate the test feature.

 

2.   The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and 

annunciating the panel.

 

3.  Reset the detector at the system control panel.

B.  Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)

 

1.   From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold 

the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away to prevent damage to 
the cover during testing.

 

2.   The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the 

detector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs fail to light, check the 
power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.

 

3.  Reset the detector at the system control panel.

Detectors that fail these tests may need to be cleaned as described under 
CLEANING and retested.

CLEANING

Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke 
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of 
service.

Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted 
alarms.

1.   Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.

2.   Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from 

the sensing area.

3.   Reinstall the detector.

4.    Test the detector as described in TESTING.

5.   Reconnect disabled circuits.

6.   Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.

FCC STATEMENT

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference 
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE:

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in 
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to 
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
–  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-

nected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

DEVICE AND SYSTEM SECURITY

Before installing this product ensure that the 
tamper seal on the packaging is present and 
unbroken and the product has not been tampered 
with since leaving the factory. Do not install this 
product if there are any indications of tampering. 
If there are any signs of tampering the product 
should be returned to the point of purchase.
It is the responsibility of the system owner to 
ensure that all system components, i.e. devices, 
panels, wiring etc., are adequately protected to 
avoid tampering of the system that could result 
in information disclosure, spoofing, and integrity 
violation.
