Troubleshooting - Carrier 48JCH 04-06 Series Service And Maintenance Instructions

The SuperDuct™ duct smoke detector enters the trouble state
1
under the following conditions:
• A sensor's cover is removed and 20 minutes pass before it
is properly secured.
• A sensor's environmental compensation limit is reached
(100% dirty).
• A wiring fault between a sensor and the controller is detected.
An internal sensor fault is detected upon entering the trouble state:
• The contacts on the controller's supervisory relay switch
positions (see Fig. 40).
• If a sensor trouble, the sensor's Trouble LED the control-
ler's Trouble LED turn on.
• If 100% dirty, the sensor's Dirty LED turns on and the
controller's Trouble LED flashes continuously.
• If a wiring fault between a sensor and the controller, the
controller's Trouble LED turns on but not the sensor's.

NOTE: All troubles are latched by the duct smoke detector. The
trouble condition must be cleared and then the duct smoke detec-
tor must be reset in order to restore it to the normal state.
RESETTING ALARM AND TROUBLE CONDITION TRIPS
Manual reset is required to restore smoke detector systems to Nor-
mal operation. For installations using two sensors, the duct smoke
detector does not differentiate which sensor signals an alarm or
trouble condition. Check each sensor for Alarm or Trouble status
(indicated by LED). Clear the condition that has generated the trip
at this sensor. Then reset the sensor by pressing and holding the re-
set button (on the side) for 2 seconds. Verify that the sensor's
Alarm and Trouble LEDs are now off. At the controller, clear its
Alarm or Trouble state by pressing and holding the manual reset
button (on the front cover) for 2 seconds. Verify that the control-
ler's Alarm and Trouble LEDs are now off. Replace all panels.

Troubleshooting

CONTROLLER'S TROUBLE LED IS ON
1. Check the Trouble LED on each sensor connected to the
controller. If a sensor's Trouble LED is on, determine the
cause and make the necessary repairs.
2. Check the wiring between the sensor and the controller. If
wiring is loose or missing, repair or replace as required.
CONTROLLER'S TROUBLE LED IS FLASHING
1. One or both of the sensors is 100% dirty.
2. Determine which Dirty LED is flashing then clean that sen-
sor assembly as described in the detector cleaning section.
SENSOR'S TROUBLE LED IS ON
1. Check the sensor's Dirty LED. If it is flashing, the sensor
is dirty and must be cleaned.
2. Check the sensor's cover. If it is loose or missing, secure
the cover to the sensor housing.
3. Replace sensor assembly.
SENSOR'S POWER LED IS OFF
1. Check the controller's Power LED. If it is off, determine
why the controller does not have power and make the nec-
essary repairs.
2. Check the wiring between the sensor and the controller. If
wiring is loose or missing, repair or replace as required.
CONTROLLER'S POWER LED IS OFF
1. Make sure the circuit supplying power to the controller is
operational. If not, make sure JP2 and JP3 are set correctly
on the controller before applying power.
2. Verify that power is applied to the controller's supply
input terminals. If power is not present, replace or repair
wiring as required.
REMOTE TEST/RESET STATION'S TROUBLE LED DOES
NOT FLASH WHEN PERFORMING A DIRTY TEST, BUT
THE CONTROLLER'S TROUBLE LED DOES
1. Verify that the remote test/station is wired as shown in
Fig. 38. Repair or replace loose or missing wiring.
2. Configure the sensor dirty test to activate the controller's
supervision relay. See "Dirty Sensor Test" on page 21.
