no case, however, should the pressure differential be less
than 0.01 inches of water or greater than 1.2 inches of
water.
Step 7. Perform Detector Check
7.1 Air Flow
1. To verify sufficient sampling of ducted air, use a
manometer to measure the differential pressure created
from air flow across the sampling tubes. The pressure
should measure no less than 0.01 inches of water and no
greater than 1.20 inches of water.
2. To determine that smoke is capable of entering the sens-
ing chamber, a visual examination should be conducted
to note any obscurations around the sensing chamber. If
a smoke test is required, smoke such as cigarette, cotton
wick, or punk smoke may be blown directly at the
smoke detector head. It is important to plug the exhaust
and sampling tube hole to prevent ducted air from blow-
ing smoke away from the smoke detector head. Record
all test records in the Detector Test Log (page 12).
Remember to remove the plugs after this test or the detec-
tor will not sense smoke in the air duct.
7.2 Alarm Tests
Before replacing the duct housing cover, the detector inter-
connections should be checked. The DH500 may be
checked as follows:
A. M02-04-00 Magnet Test
1. Make sure power is applied to the detector.
2. Place the painted surface of the test magnet against
the housing next to the rib molded onto the outside
of the housing (see Figure 7).
3. The LEDs on the detector should latch on as should
any accessories (i.e. RA400ZA, RTS451), and the
alarm condition should be verified at the control
panel.

B. RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station
The RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station facilitates test
of the alarm capability of the duct detector as indicated in
the RTS451/RTS451KEY manual. The DH500 duct detector
cannot be reset by the RTS451/RTS451KEY. It must be reset
at the system control panel.
To install the RTS451/RTS451KEY test coil, connect the
device as shown in Figure 9; wire runs must be limited to
25 ohms or less per interconnecting wire. Place the coil in
the detector housing with the arrow facing up and pointing
toward the detector as in Figure 9. Attach the coil leads to
the housing terminals as shown; polarity is not important.
Firmly screw the bracket in place over the test coil.
