8.5.12 Check Detector Sensitivity Through Point Status
The control panel constantly monitors smoke detectors to ensure that sensitivity levels are in compliance with
NFPA 72.
If sensitivity for a detector is not in compliance, the panel goes into trouble, generating a CAL TRBLE condition.
A detector enters a CAL MAINT state to indicate that it is approaching an out of compliance condition (but is
currently still in compliance).
When a CAL TRBLE condition occurs, the central station receives a detector trouble report (“373” and the zone
or point for Contact ID format; “FT” and the zone or point in SIA format).
To check sensitivity for an individual detector, follow the steps below. Section 8.5.18 provides instructions for
printing the status of all detectors in the system.
1. From the Main Menu, press 2 for Point Functions.
2. Press 2 for Point Status.
3. Select the module where the point you want to check is located.
4. Enter the number of the point you want to check and press ENTER.
5. A screen similar to those shown in Figure 8-4 will display.

If a printer is attached to the system (via a 5824 serial/parallel interface module), you can print detector status
(see Section 8.5.18).
