If the detector fails this test several steps should be taken 
to determine if the detector is faulty or simply needs to be 
re-adjusted before returning the unit for repair. These steps 
include:

1.  Verify  all  wiring  connections  and  appropriate  power  is 

applied to the detector.

2.  Verify that the optical line of sight is free from obstruc-

tions and reflective objects.

3.  Apply  the  maintenance  procedure  in  this  manual. 

Repeat  the  test  procedure.  If  the  detector  still  fails  the 
test procedure proceed with step 4.

4.  Repeat  the  alignment  procedure  in  this  manual.  If  the 

alignment  procedure  is  successful  repeat  the  test  pro-
cedure.  If  the  detector  still  fails  the  test  it  should  be 
returned.

Maintenance

NOTE:

   Before  cleaning  the  detector,  notify  the  proper 

authorities  that  the  smoke  detector  system  is 
undergoing  maintenance,  and  therefore  the  sys-
tem will be temporarily out of service. Disable the 
zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent 
unwanted alarms.

1.  Carefully clean the outer housing lens face. A damp soft 

cloth  with  a  mild  soap  may  be  used.  Avoid  products 
with solvents or ammonia.

2.  Carefully  clean  the  reflector.  A  damp  soft  cloth  with  a 

mild soap may be used. Avoid products with solvents or 
ammonia.

3.  Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on 

line.

Painting

The outer aesthetic ring may be painted using a spray or 
brush type paint of appropriate type. See specification sec-
tion of this manual for paint types.

NOTE:

  Never paint the flat lens surface of the outer housing.

Special Note Regarding Smoke Detector Guards

Smoke  detectors  are  not  to  be  used  with  detector  guards 
unless the combination has been evaluated and found suit-
able for that purpose.
