System Sensor i3 Series Installation And Maintenance Instructions page 3

1. Wire the mounting base screw terminals per Figure 3a or Figure 3b,
as applicable.
2. Place detector on the base and rotate clockwise. The detector will
drop into the base and lock into place with a "click".
3. After all detectors have been installed, apply power to the alarm
control unit.
4. Test each detector as described in Testing.
5. Reset all the detectors at the alarm control unit.
6. Notify the proper authorities that the system is in operation.
Dust covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust into
the smoke detector sensing chamber. However, they may not
completely prevent airborne dust particles from entering the detector.
Therefore, System Sensor recommends the removal of detectors before be-
ginning construction or other dust producing activity. When returning the
system to service, be sure to remove the dust covers from any detectors that
were left in place during construction.
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
housing (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 five seconds.

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:

When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detec-
tor 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
manufacturer's published instructions for any further warnings or caution
statements.
C. Direct Heat Method (models C2WT-BA and C4WT-BA only)
Using a 1000-1500 watt hair dryer, direct the heat toward either of
the thermistors. Hold the heat source about 12 inches from the detec-
tor to avoid damage to the plastic.
NOTE: For the above tests, the detector will reset only after the power
source has been momentarily interrupted.
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 sec-
tion. If the detector still fails, it should be replaced.
Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.
Loop Verification (models C2W-BA and C2WT-BA only)
Loop verification is provided by the EZ Walk loop test feature. This fea-
ture 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 initiat-
ing loop wiring and provides visual status indication at each detector.
1. Ensure proper wiring and power is applied. Wait approximately
six minutes before performing EZ Walk test.
2. Place control panel or module in EZ Walk Test mode (refer to
panel manufacturer's manual or C2W-MOD2A manual D500-
46-00).
3. Observe the LEDs on each detector:

NOTE: The EZ Walk loop test must not be used instead of alarm test-
ing.
Maintenance
NOTE: Before performing maintenance on the detector, notify the
proper authorities that maintenance is being performed and the system
will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system under-
going maintenance to prevent any unwanted alarms. Power must be
A78-2712-00
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.
