Maintenance
6. Replace the housing by aligning the three triangular slots
on the base with their counterparts on the housing. Gen-
tly press the housing until it locks in place. Check to
make sure that the thermistors are in the upright posi-
tion (2100T).
NOTE: Before removing the detector, notify the proper
authorities that the smoke detector system is un-
dergoing maintenance and will temporarily be out
of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing
maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.
7. Reinstall the detector.
NOTE: (Model 2100T only) Before removing the detector 8. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back in
cover, note the position of the thermistors. Make
sure the thermistors are not bent over when the
housing is replaced.
operation.
Figure 5. Removal of cover and screen for cleaning:
1. Remove detector housing by gently prying the four hous-
ing tabs on the bottom of the base with a small-bladed
screwdriver and pull the housing from the base. Use cau-
tion to avoid damaging the thermistors (2100T only).
2. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it.
3. Remove the screen assembly by pulling it straight out
(see Figure 5).

4. Clean the sensing chamber by vacuuming or blowing out
dust and particles.
5. Replace the screen by orienting it so that the arrow on
the top aligns with the arrow on the printed circuit
board. Carefully press the screen assembly onto the
sensing chamber, making sure it fits tightly.

WARNING
The Limitations of Property Protection Smoke Detectors
This smoke detector is designed to activate and initiate emergency ac-
tion, but will do so only when it is used in conjunction with an authorized
fire alarm system. This detector must be installed in accordance with
NFPA standard 72.
Smoke detectors will not work without power. AC or DC powered
smoke detectors will not work if the power supply is cut off.
Smoke detectors will not sense fires which start where smoke does not
reach the detectors. Smoldering fires typically do not generate a lot of
heat which is needed to drive the smoke up to the ceiling where the
smoke detector is usually located. For this reason, there may be large de-
lays in detecting a smoldering fire with either an ionization type detector
or a photoelectric type detector. Either one of them may alarm only after
flaming has initiated which will generate the heat needed to drive the
smoke to the ceiling.
Smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs or on the other side of a
closed door(s) may not reach the smoke detector and alarm it. A detector
cannot detect a fire developing on another level of a building quickly or at
all. For these reasons, detectors shall be located on every level and in
every bedroom within a building.
types of fires. Ionization detectors offer a broad range of fire sensing capa-
bility but they are somewhat better at detecting fast flaming fires than
slow smoldering fires. Photoelectric detectors sense smoldering fires better
than flaming fires which have little, if any, visible smoke. Because fires de-
velop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, nei-
ther type of detector is always best, and a given detector may not always
provide early warning of a specific type of fire.
In general, detectors cannot be expected to provide warnings for fires re-
sulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions, es-
caping gases which ignite, improper storage of flammable liquids like
cleaning solvents which ignite, other similar safety hazards, arson, smok-
ing in bed, children playing with matches or lighters, etc. Smoke detectors
used in high air velocity conditions may have a delay in alarm due to dilu-
tion of smoke densities created by frequent and rapid air exchanges. Addi-
tionally, high air velocity environments may create increased dust
contamination, demanding more frequent maintenance.
Smoke detectors cannot last forever. Smoke detectors contain electronic
parts. Even though smoke detectors are made to last over 10 years, any
part can fail at any time. Therefore, smoke detectors shall be replaced after
being in service for 10 years. The smoke detector system that this detector
is used in must be tested regularly per NFPA 72. This smoke detector
should be cleaned regularly per NFPA 72 or at least once a year.
Smoke detectors have sensing limitations, too. Ionization detectors and
photoelectric detectors are required to pass fire tests of the flaming and
smoldering type. This is to ensure that both can detect a wide range of
Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed smoke detector to be free from de-
fects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a
period of three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no
other express warranty for this smoke detector. No agent, representative,
dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter
the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation
of this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any part of
the smoke detector which is found to be defective in materials or work-
manship under normal use and service during the three year period com-
mencing with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll
free number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a Return Authorization number,
send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, Repair Depart-
ment, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174. Please
include a note describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure.
The Company shall not be obligated to repair or replace units which are
found to be defective because of damage, unreasonable use, modifica-
tions, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case
shall the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages
for breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever,
even if the loss or damage is caused by the Company’s negligence or fault.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
