1.2 Required Maintenance and Testing

Keep the detector calibrated for proper operation. NFPA 72, The National Fire Alarm Code, recommends performing calibration tests at installation, then every other year. Depending on local regulations, calibration testing might be required more than once a year.

Perform functional testing yearly.

completion of these activities.

Test the calibration (to meet NFPA 72) using either the magnet test or measuring the calibration with a calibrated product from No Climb Products Ltd. Quickly determine the calibration by a visual inspection of the detector’s LED (refer to Section 4.4 Flash Rate and Trouble Indication on page 24). These tests confirm whether or not the detector is within its factory marked calibration range. At least once a year vacuum or wipe the external part of the detector clean. Pay particular attention to the detector screens in areas of heavy insect activity or dust. To clean the chamber,

use a can of clean, dry compressed air (such as TECHSPRAY ENVI-RO-TECH Duster) which is available at office and alarm supply stores. Shorten the plastic tube that comes with the compressed air to about 2 in. (5 cm). Place the tube or needle valve through the Chambermaid valve in the bottom of the detector (refer to Figure 2.2 on page 6).

NOTE! Do not paint the detectors. Paint or other foreign

matter covering the detector can prevent smoke detection.

2 General Information

This document covers mounting, wiring, power requirements, testing, and maintenance for the F220-B6RS Detector Bases and the F220 Series Heat and Photoelectric Smoke Detectors. Install them according to NFPA 72.

2.2.4 F220 Series Smoke Detector Heads

The F220 Series Smoke Detector Heads are UL Listed, openarea photoelectric smoke detectors that work with commercial fire protective signaling systems and household fire warning systems. Select the appropriate mounting base to configure the detectors for two-wire or four-wire versions (refer to Section 2.1 F220-B6RS Detector Bases on page 3). To verify power to the detector and a functioning smoke sampling circuitry, a dual color LED indicator flashes green every eight seconds when operating normally. It flashes once every four seconds when a trouble condition exists. If the detector determines an alarm condition exists, the LED changes from flashing green to steady red. The detector returns to normal after the alarm condition is cleared and power is interrupted. Throughout its normal life cycle, the smoke detector monitors and periodically adjusts itself to keep the sensitivity at its factory calibrated level. When excessively dirty, the detector’s LED flash rate changes from an eight second flash rate to a four second rate. If CleanMe is selected, the detector sends a CleanMe signal to the compatible control panel to indicate a dirty smoke detector. Refer to Section 4.3 Set CleanMe Feature on page 24.

2.4 Electrical Supervision

When the F220-B6RS Bases are wired according to the instructions in this document, the control panel initiates a trouble signal when a detector is removed from its base, providing tamper protection. An EOL power supervision module, such as a D275 or an F220-B6E Power Supervision Base and an EOL resistor as specified by the control panel manufacturer, supervises power.

3 Install the Bases

3.1 Mount the Bases

With the exception of the F220-B6E base, all four-wire bases can be used in any combination within a loop. One F220-B6E

F220 Series Detectors with F220-B6RS Bases Install the Bases | en 9

Power Supervision Base can be used as the last base on a loop in four-wire systems to provide power supervision.

NOTE! Follow NFPA 72 guidelines for mounting locations.

For commercial and industrial installations, 30 ft (9 m) spacing between smoke detectors is recommended.

1. Release the mounting skirt from the mounting base. Use a screwdriver at the location of the snap locks (refer to Figure 2.1, item 12, page 4) to release the mounting skirt.

2. Run all system wiring (refer to Section 3.2 Wire the Bases on page 10).

3. Mount the base using the two oblong mounting holes. Fits 4 in. square, octagon, AB, and single-gang back boxes.

NOTE! Depending on local regulations, you can surface mount the bases using anchors, mollies, or wing nuts, or you can mount directly on back boxes.

NOTE! The electrical box must be large enough to accommodate the number and size of conductors

specified by the National Electrical Code or any local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).

4. Tighten the base to the mounting surface. Tighten only until snug; not distorted.
