status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs
to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical docu-
mentation or sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm.

B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501 or other UL listed devices)

The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry
testing. Other UL listed smoke generating devices may be used as well.
Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as described in
the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator, apply aero-
sol until the panel alarms. Additionally, canned aerosol simulated smoke
(canned smoke agent) may be used for smoke entry testing of the smoke
detector. Tested and approved aerosol smoke product is the Smoke Detec-
tor Tester model 25S available from Home Safeguard Industries. When
used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector
to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for
proper use of the canned smoke agent.

CAUTION

Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by
manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long term adverse
effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer’s
published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements.

A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under
CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced.

When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify
the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

FCC STATEmENT

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CLEANING
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent un-
wanted alarms.

1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Remove the sensor cover. Press firmly on each of the four removal tabs

that hold the cover in place.

3. Vacuum the outside of the screen carefully. If further cleaning is required

continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 5.

4. Use clean, compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing

chamber.

5. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently push-

ing it until it locks into place.

6. Reinstall the detector.
7. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
8. Reconnect disabled circuits.
9. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
