Sensor and Controller Tests
Sensor Alarm Test
The sensor alarm test checks a sensor ’s ability to signal an
alarm state. This test requires that you use the factory
provided SD--MAG test magnet. The magnet (which is
approximately 1.0 in. long. x
1
/
4
in. sq.) is located in a
plastic bag in the unit control box.
OPERATIONAL TES T HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personnel

This test places the duct detector into the alarm state.
Unless part of the test, disconnect all auxiliary
equipment from the control ler before performing the
test. If the duct detector is connected to a fire alarm
system, notify the proper authorities before
performing the test.
CAUTION
!
Sensor Alarm Test Procedure
1. Hold the test magnet where indi cated on the side of
the sensor housing for seven seconds.
2. Verify that the sensor’s Alarm LED turns on.
3. Reset the sensor by holding the test magnet against
the sensor housing for two seconds.
4. Verify that the sensor’s Alarm LED turns off.
Controller Alarm Test
The controller alarm test checks the controller ’s ability to
initiate and indicate an alarm state.
OPERATIONAL TES T HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personnel
and authorit y concern.
This test places the duct detector into the alarm state.
Disconnect all auxiliary equipment from the controller

3. Reset the sensor by pressing the test/reset switch for
two seconds.
4. Verify that the controller ’s Alarm LED turns off.
Dirty Co ntr oller Test
The dirty controller test checks the controller’s ability to
initiate a dirty sensor test and indicate its results.
OPERATIONAL TES T HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personnel
and authorit y concern.
Pressing the controller’s test/reset switch for longer
than seven seconds will put the duct detector into the
ala rm state and activate all automatic alarm responses.
CAUTION
!
Dirty Controller Test Procedure
1. Press the controller’s test/reset switch for two
seconds.
2. Verify that the controller’s Trouble LED flashes.
Dirty Sensor Test
The dirty sensor test provides an indication of the sensor’s
ability to compensate for gradual environmental changes.
A sensor that can no longer compensate for environmental
change s i s c onsidered 100% dirty and requires cleaning or
replacing. You must use the factory provided SD--MAG
test magnet to initiate a sensor dirty test. The sensor’s
Dirty LED indicates the results of the dirty test as shown
in Table 12.
OPERATIONAL TES T HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personnel
and authorit y concern.
Holding the test magnet against the sensor housing for
more than seven seconds will put the duct detect or
into the alarm state and activate all automatic alarm
