10. Manual Fire and Fault Tests After installation or cleaning, it is recommended that a Manual Fire and Fault test is performed: Fire Test: Slowly half-cover the Receiver. The Controller will indicate Fire after the Fire Delay Time. Uncover the Receiver. The Controller will return to Normal state after approximately 5 seconds. Fault Test: Completely cover the Receiver taking less than 2 seconds to do so.

12. Fire Threshold This setting is the threshold at which the Receiver will detect a fire. Default factory setting=35%. (Set for each Receiver). • Sensitivity can be adjusted in 1% steps by pressing up or down keys • Press to accept setting UL268 Fire Threshold Ranges: Distance betweenTransmitter Fire Threshold Range...

13. Delay To Fire This setting is the delay the System Controller uses before signalling a FIRE condition to the Fire Control Panel. Default factory setting=10 seconds. (Set for each Receiver). 14. Delay To Fault This setting is the delay the System Controller uses before signalling a FAULT condition to the Fire Control Panel.
16. Cleaning The System The system will automatically compensate for dust build-up by changing the Compensation Level. However, it is recommended that the Receiver lenses are cleaned periodically with a soft lint-free cloth. The system should be isolated from the Fire Control Panel before cleaning takes place. After cleaning, verify that the system is operating normally by following the Alignment procedure and the Fire and Fault Tests described in this User Guide.
