Testing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the fire alarm
system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out
of service.
Test each sensor in the detector. In the following steps, xxx
indicates a variable related only to marketplace.
Caution: Heat damage. Excessive heat may damage the
detector outer cover. Do not apply excessive heat when using
a hair dryer. When using a Testifire detector tester, you must
install a SIGA2 Testifire Adapter Assembly.
Make sure the SIGA2 Testifire Adapter Assembly (model
SIGA2-TSTSPACER) is installed in the Testifire detector tester
before testing. Refer to the SIGA2 Testifire Adapter Assembly
Installation Sheet (P/N 3101942) for further details.
To perform an initial installation test:
1. Remove the detector from its base and verify that the
proper detector address, trouble signals, and messages
are reported.
2. If wired for Class A operation, verify that the detector
continues to operate first with SLC_IN disconnected, and
then with SLC_OUT disconnected. (Refer to the
installation sheet for the base.)
3. Place a momentary ground fault on the SLC circuit to
verify operation of the ground fault detection circuitry.
4. Run a system detector sensitivity report on all detectors
and verify that readings fall within acceptable limits.
5. Perform a sensor function test, as described below.
To perform sensor function tests:
1. If desired, use the fire alarm control panel to put the
detector or zone into a service group for testing. (Refer to
the panel technical reference manual for instructions.)
2. Activate the smoke sensor using No Climb Products
model CHEK02-xxx smoke aerosol spray, a smoke
generator, or the Testifire detector tester per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Activate the heat sensor using a hair dryer (maintaining a
distance of three inches) or using a Testifire detector
tester per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Maintenance
To ensure proper operation, plan maintenance in accordance
with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Refer
to CAN/ULC-S536 Standard for the Inspection and Testing of
Fire Alarm Systems and NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code.
Refer to Technical Bulletin P/N 270145 REV 4.0 or later for
additional information and cleaning instructions.
Smoke chamber replacement
Replace the smoke chamber whenever cleaning the detector
does not restore the panel to normal conditions. Replace with
model number 2-SPRC1 using installation sheet P/N 3101860.
