To test the Mircom MIX-2351TIRAPA smoke sensor, you can follow the testing methods outlined in the instruction manual:
1. **Functional Magnet Test:**
- Use a test magnet to simulate smoke in the sensing chamber.
- Hold the test magnet in the designated test area on the sensor.
- The sensor should trigger an alarm on the control panel.
- The LEDs on the sensor indicate the sensor status based on the alarm signal.
2. **Smoke Entry Test:**
- Use canned aerosol simulated smoke for testing the smoke detector.
- The sensor uses algorithms to process signals from multiple sensors to determine alarm conditions and reduce false alarms.
- Place the detector in test mode to isolate individual sensors for testing.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of the canned smoke agent.
3. **Direct Heat Method:**
- Use a hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts to test the thermistors.
- Direct the heat towards the thermistors while holding the heat source at a safe distance from the detector.
- Test both thermistors individually.
4. **Multi-Criteria Method:**
- Use a Testifire® by SDi for testing the smoke and heat sensors.
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for complete testing guidelines.
5. **Cleaning and Maintenance:**
- Before testing, remove the sensor from the system.
- Clean the sensor chamber and screen using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air.
- Reinstall the sensor properly and test it as described above.
6. **After Testing:**
- Restore the system to normal operation.
- Notify the relevant authorities that the system is back in operation.
By following these testing methods, you can ensure that the is functioning correctly and ready to detect any potential fire hazards.
