System Sensor SENS-RDR

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Reader Specifications Temperature Range: Temperature Range (without batteries): Humidity Range: Using SENS-RDR sensitivity reader is a tool to measure the of i3 smoke detectors as well as 100 series con- smoke detectors (only models 2151 and 2151T after April 2006). It CANNOT be used on the 300, 400, 500, or 800 Series detectors. This manual shall be left with the owner/user of equipment. Use of the SENS-RDR is designed to each smoke detector is within its listed and marked range… per NFPA 72. The SENS-RDR CANNOT, initiate a detector/sensor alarm. Sensitivity testing not be used as a substitute for smoke entry testing.
