How do I properly test a Mircom MIX-2351RAPA smoke sensor?

[VonGarrett]

To verify your Mircom MIX-2351RAPA Advanced Protocol Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Sensor is functioning correctly, employ these testing methods: First, perform a functional test using a test magnet (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00) by holding it in the sensor's designated test area; this should trigger an alarm at your fire alarm control panel. Secondly, assess sensitivity readings through your Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) using the manufacturer's specific instructions. Finally, for remote testing, utilize the RTS151A or RTS151KEYA test accessories, referencing the DNRA manual for wiring diagrams. Remember that the test response time may require up to two communications from the control panel. Prior to any testing, always notify the appropriate authorities and disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. Adherence to testing procedures that meet your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) standards is crucial for compliance. Regular testing and maintenance are key to ensuring the sensor operates at peak performance.
