Return Air Smoke Detector Maintenance
Airflow through the unit is affected by the amount of dirt and debris accumulated
on the indoor coil and filters. To insure that airflow through the unit is adequate
for proper sampling by the return air smoke detector, complete adherence to the
maintenance procedures, including recommended intervals between filter
changes, and coil cleaning is required.
Periodic checks and maintenance procedures must be performed on the smoke
detector to insure that it will function properly. For detailed instructions
concerning these checks and procedures, refer to the appropriate section(s) of
the smoke detector Installation and Maintenance Instructions provided with the
literature package for this unit.
Cooling Season
• Check the unit’s drain pans and condensate piping to ensure that there are no
blockages.
• Inspect the evaporator and condenser coils for dirt, bent fins, etc. If the coils
appear dirty, clean them according to the instructions described in “Coil
Cleaning” later in this section.
• Manually rotate the condenser fan(s) to ensure free movement and check
motor bearings for wear. Verify that all of the fan mounting hardware is tight.
• Inspect the F/A-R/A damper hinges and pins to ensure that all moving parts
are securely mounted. Keep the blades clean as necessary.
• Verify that all damper linkages move freely; lubricate with white grease, if
necessary.
• Check supply fan motor bearings; repair or replace the motor as necessary.
• Check the fan shaft bearings for wear. Replace the bearings as necessary.
• Check the supply fan belt. If the belt is frayed or worn, replace it. Refer to the
“Fan Belt Adjustment” section for belt replacement and adjustments.
• Verify that all wire terminal connections are tight.
• Remove any corrosion present on the exterior surfaces of the unit and repaint
these areas.
• Generally inspect the unit for unusual conditions (e.g., loose access panels,
leaking piping connections, etc.)
• Make sure that all retaining screws are reinstalled in the unit access panels
once these checks are complete.
