4. Maintenance and Service
D Trained personnel should perform a visual and physical test according Table 6 as recommended by
NFPA-72 (National Fire Alarm Code).
D For cleaning the detector surface, use a common window cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.
Notify all concerned parties before any maintenance or testing of the fire alarm sy
stem, and after completion of these activities.
Note:
D The FCP-500-C and FCP-500-C-P must be replaced every five years. The chemical (CO) sensor turns off
at five years of operation. The LED double-flashes every 8 to 12 sec, indicating trouble, and the detector
continues to function as an optical (O) detector.

reed contact activates, the LED flashes once every
second.
