System Sensor i3 Series Installation And Maintenance Instructions page 3

Testing
Detectors must be tested after installation and following maintenance.
NOTE: Before testing, notify the proper authorities that maintenance is being
performed and the system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone
or system undergoing maintenance to prevent any unwanted alarms.
Ensure proper wiring and power is applied. After power up, allow 80 seconds
for the detector to stabilize before testing.
Test i 3 Series detectors as follows:
A. Test Switch
1. An opening for the recessed test switch is located on the detector hous-
ing (See Figure 4).
2. Insert a small screwdriver or allen wrench (0.18" max.) into the test
switch opening; push and hold.
3. If the detector is within the listed sensitivity limits, the detector's red
LED should light within one second.

B. Smoke Entry Test
Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be used for
smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol
smoke products are:
Manufacturer
Home Safeguard Industries
SDi
SDi
SDi
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.
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 manu-
facturer's published instructions for any further warnings or caution state-
ments.
C. Direct Heat Method
Using a 1000-1500 watt hair dryer, direct the heat toward either of the
thermistors. Hold the heat source about 12 inches from the detector to
avoid damage to the plastic.
NOTE: For the above tests, the detector will reset only after the power source
has been momentarily interrupted. It is not necessary to reset the model
C4WITAR-BA, when smoke is used to initiate the alarm.
When testing the C4WITAR-BA model, pressing the test switch will result in
a non-latching local alarm that does not alarm at the control panel. Once the
test button is released, the unit will return to its standby condition. Only the
fixed-temperature heat sensor will cause the C4WITAR-BA to initiate an alarm
at the panel.
If a detector fails any of the above test methods, its wiring should be checked
and it should be cleaned as outlined in the Maintenance section. If the detec-
tor still fails, it should be replaced.
Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.

Loop Verification (models C2WTR-BA and C2WTA-BA only)
Loop verification is provided by the EZ Walk loop test feature. This feature is
for use with i 3 Series compatible control panels or the i 3 Series C2W-MOD2A
module only. The EZ Walk loop test verifies the initiating loop wiring and
provides visual status indication at each detector. Refer to System Sensor lit-
erature for further information on the C2W-MOD2A.
The C2W-MOD2A has replaced the previous model number C2W-MODA. To
ensure proper EZ Walk Test capabilities, do not use the C2W-MODA with i 3
model numbers C2WTR-BA and C2WTA-BA.

NOTE: The EZ Walk loop test must not be used instead of alarm testing.
Maintenance
NOTE: Before performing maintenance on the detector, notify the proper au-
thorities that maintenance is being performed and the system will be tempo-
rarily out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to
prevent any unwanted alarms. Power must be removed from the detector
before performing maintenance of any kind.

1. Remove the detector cover by turning counterclockwise. (See Figure 5.)
2. Vacuum the cover or use canned air to remove any dust or debris.
3. Remove the top half of the screen/sensing chamber by lifting straight up
(Figure 5).
4. Vacuum or use canned air to remove any dust or particles that are present
on both chamber halves.
5. Replace the top half of the screen/sensing chamber by aligning the arrow
on the screen/sensing chamber with the arrow on the housing. Press down
firmly until the screen/sensing chamber is fully seated.
6. Replace the detector cover by placing it over the screen/sensing chamber
and turning it clockwise until it snaps into place.
7. Reinstall the detector and test. (See the Testing section.)
8. Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.
