Detectors that fail these tests should be cleaned as described in the Maintenance section of this technical bulletin and retested. If the detectors still fail these tests, they should be replaced or returned for repair. 10 Conventional Products—5451 Conventional Plug-In Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector...
The 5451 detector has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. Normal air-borne dust, however, can accumulate on the detector’s sensing elements and cause them to become less sensitive. All detectors should be tested and cleaned at least once a year, and those in dustier areas should be tested and cleaned more often.
