To test the Mircom MIX-2351TAP sensor, follow the testing methods outlined in the instruction manual:
1. **Functional Test (Magnet Test):** Use a test magnet to electronically simulate smoke in the sensing chamber. Hold the test magnet in the designated area on the sensor. The sensor should trigger an alarm at the control panel.
2. **Smoke Entry Test:** Sensitivity readings are available through the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Canned aerosol simulated smoke can also be used for testing. Ensure to use approved aerosol smoke products as listed in the manual.
3. **Direct Heat Method:** Use a hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts to test the thermistors. Direct the heat towards the thermistors, holding the heat source approximately 12 inches away from the detector. Test each thermistor individually.
4. **Multi-Criteria Method:** A Testifire® by SDi can be used to test both the smoke and heat sensors.
If the sensor fails any of these tests, it may need cleaning as described in the manual. After testing, restore the system to normal operation and notify the proper authorities.
It's important to follow the testing procedures to ensure the sensor is functioning correctly and to maintain compliance with NFPA 72 standards.
