Page 35: Acclimation Period
This test should be repeated at least three times with consistent results. The recommended smoke generating medium is canned smoke or a wire burner. Smoke from a punk or cotton wick is also acceptable. LaserSense Nano Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook... -
Page 36: Wire Burner Tests
Be sure to keep a safe distance away while voltage is being applied. A wire burner/canned smoke test could activate spot-type detectors. Caution: This test may be undertaken in underfloor spaces or ceiling voids where rapid airflow may render Test 1 unsuitable.

ClassiFire system is designed to automatically compensate for this in order to reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms due to normal variations in background smoke density. Within limits set by the ClassiFire alarm factor, this is a normal part of the detector‘s operation. LaserSense Nano Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook... - Page 41 Open bore pipes are not recommended. Check that the high flow fault threshold is not set too low. In the case of intermittent fault indications, try increasing the flow fault delay time. LaserSense Nano Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook...
