CAUTION

Dust covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust

into smoke detector sensing chambers. However, they may

not completely prevent airborne dust particles from enter-

ing the detector. Therefore, System Sensor recommends the

removal of detectors before beginning construction or other

dust producing activity. Be sure to remove dust covers from

any sensors that were left in place during construction as

part of returning the system to service.

Testing

NOTE: Before testing, notify the proper authorities that

the smoke detector system is undergoing mainte-

nance and will temporarily be out of service. Dis-

able the zone or system undergoing maintenance

to prevent unwanted alarms.

Detectors must be tested after installation and following

periodic maintenance. Test the 2100 as follows:

A. Test Switch

1. A recessed test switch is located on the detector hous-

ing (See Figure 4).

2. Push and hold the recessed test switch with a 0.1 inch

maximum diameter tool such as an allen wrench or

small screwdriver.

3. The detector’s LED should light within 5 seconds.

B. Test Module (System Sensor Model No. MOD400R).

The MOD400R test module can be used with a DMM or

analog voltmeter to check the detector sensitivity as de-

scribed in the test module’s manual.

C. Smoke Entry Test

Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side

of the detector and gently blow smoke through the de-

tector until the unit alarms.

D. Direct Heat Method (Model 2100T only – Hair dryer of

1000-1500 watts).

Direct the heat toward either of the side thermistors.

Hold the heat source about 12 inches from the detector

in order to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will

reset only after it has had sufficient time to cool and the

power source has been momentarily interrupted.

Both smoke and heat detection testing are recommended

for verifying system protection capability.

A detector that fails to activate with any of the above tests

should first be cleaned as outlined in the MAINTENANCE

section which follows. If the detector still fails to activate, it

should be returned for repair.

Notify the proper authorities the system is back on line.
