Test the SMCMS01-Z (see “Sensitivity Testing” on this
page).
Note: The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions
should be verified for a complete test of the system.
Sensitivity Testing
A.
Press the SMCMS01-Z Test button for 4 seconds. When
the test starts, the SMCMS01-Z LED flashes 1 to 9 times.
B.
Count the number of LED flashes and see the table
below to determine the status of the SMCMS01-Z
sensitivity and any action to take.
Understanding the LED
The LED on the SMCSM01-Z shows the following status:
Flash = normal operation
ON = smoke detected, sending an alarm
OFF = trouble or maintenance is required
Annual Testing
Test the SMCMS01-Z in place annually using Smoke! in a can®
(product number SM-200), a canned aerosol simulated smoke
and follow the directions on the can.
Cleaning the SMCSM01-Z
Clean the SMCSM01-Z cover with a dry or damp (water) cloth
as needed to keep it free from dust and dirt. When
necessary, use the following procedure to clean the interior
of the SMCSM01-Z and replace the smoke chamber.
A.
Notify the Central Monitoring Station that the smoke
sensor is being tested. Make sure the system is in Test
mode with the Central Monitoring Station.
B.
Remove the SMCSM01-Z from its mounting base (see
“Mounting Base Instructions” on page 4).
C.
Remove batteries (see “Replacing Batteries” on page 4).
