Indicators - Carrier 50TC*17 Series Service And Maintenance Instructions

NOTICE
OPERATIONAL TEST NOTICE
Failure to follow this NOTICE can result in an
unnecessary evacuation of the facility.
If the smoke detector is connected to a fire alarm
system, first notify the proper authorities that the
detector is undergoing maintenance then disable the
relevant circuit to avoid generating a false alarm.
1. Disconnect power from the duct detector then remove
the sensor's cover. (See Fig. 41.)

2. Using a vacuum cleaner, clean compressed air, or a
soft bristle brush, remove loose dirt and debris from
inside the sensor housing and cover.
Use isopropyl alcohol and a lint−free cloth to remove
dirt and other contaminants from the gasket on the
sensor's cover.
3. Squeeze the retainer clips on both sides of the optic
housing then lift the housing away from the printed
circuit board.
4. Gently remove dirt and debris from around the optic
plate and inside the optic housing.
5. Replace the optic housing and sensor cover.
6. Connect power to the duct detector then perform a
sensor alarm test.

INDICATORS

Normal State
The smoke detector operates in the normal state in the
absence of any trouble conditions and when its sensing
chamber is free of smoke. In the normal state, the Power
LED on both the sensor and the controller are on and all
other LEDs are off.
Alarm State
The smoke detector enters the alarm state when the
amount of smoke particulate in the sensor's sensing
chamber exceeds the alarm threshold value. (See Table 7.)
Upon entering the alarm state:
S The sensor's Alarm LED and the controller's Alarm
LED turn on.
S The contacts on the controller's two auxiliary relays
switch positions.
S The contacts on the controller's alarm initiation relay
close.
S The controller's remote alarm LED output is activated
(turned on).
HVAC duct
S The controller's high impedance multiple fan shutdown
Sensor
control line is pulled to ground Trouble state.
housing
The SuperDuct duct smoke detector enters the trouble
state under the following conditions:
Optic
S A sensor's cover is removed and 20 minutes pass before
plate
it is properly secured.
Retainer
S A sensor's environmental compensation limit is reached
clip
(100% dirty).
Optic
S A wiring fault between a sensor and the controller is
housing
detected.
C07305
An internal sensor fault is detected upon entering the
trouble state:
S The contacts on the controller's supervisory relay
switch positions. (See Fig. 42.)
S If a sensor trouble, the sensor's Trouble LED the
controller 's Trouble LED turn on.
S If 100% dirty, the sensor's Dirty LED turns on and the
controller 's Trouble LED flashes continuously.
S If a wiring fault between a sensor and the controller, the
controller 's Trouble LED turns on but not the sensor's.
Alarm
NOTE:
All troubles are latched by the duct smoke
detector. The trouble condition must be cleared and then
the duct smoke detector must be reset in order to restore it
to the normal state.
