Functional testing of automatic AlgoRex-detectors
Multisensor smoke detector
Smoke detector
Required equipement
There are basically two kinds of automatic fire detectors: heat detectors and smoke detectors. For heat detectors the detector tester RE6T is required, which simulates the temperatur rise with a hot air blower.
Smoke detectors exist also as the variation multisensor smoke detector. Both are tested with the detector tester RE6, which also can be used as tool for the detector exchange. Smoke is detec- ted by its light scattering, which is optically simulated by the detector tester RE6.
Identification of detectors
Smoke detectors, multisensor smoke detectors and heat detectors can be identified by their housing, see illustration.
"If the tested detector did not respond, exchange the detector unit.
Test procedure for detector tester RE6
1.Set the desired zone into detector test mode (+ page 34).
2.Set the detector tester onto the detector and press for 1 second.
3.Wait until the response indicator (red LED) located in the detector housing flashes.
4.Possibly press again after 15 − 20 seconds for 1 second.
5.Remove the detector tester.
Ü The functional testing is completed.
"If the tested detector did not respond, check the gas can inside the detector tester RE6 or the battery inside the tester DZ1193. If defective detectors are found call the SIEMENS service organization.
