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.
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 SIGA Testifire
Adapter Assembly.
Make sure the SIGA Testifire Adapter Assembly (model
SIGA2-TSTSPACER) is installed in the Testifire detector tester before
testing. Refer to the SIGA Testifire Adapter Assembly Installation
Sheet (P/N 3101942-ML) 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. For KIR-OSHD detectors placed in the air ducts, verify that the
airflow is within specifications. See “Specifications” below.
3. 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.)
4. Place a momentary ground fault on the SLC circuit to verify
operation of the ground fault detection circuitry.
5. Run a system detector sensitivity report on all detectors and verify
that readings fall within acceptable limits.
6. 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 Smoke
Centurion/M8, FireTech Smoke or Smoke Sabre 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 (regular or selected) of
the detector in accordance with the AHJ and all applicable governing
laws, codes, or standards. 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 3102650-EN for additional information
and cleaning instructions.
