How do you test a duct detector with a magnet?
Get a high-powered magnet to perform this test. Inside of your duct detector, there is a magnetic reed that trips and triggers the alarm sound. By tripping this magnetic reed intentionally, you can assess whether the smoke detector actually triggers correctly when it senses smoke.
What is the purpose of the duct smoke detector?
A duct smoke detector is a device or group of devices used to detect the presence of smoke in the airstream of ductwork sections of the HVAC air handling systems typically used in commercial buildings.
What is the difference between smoke detector and duct detector?
NFPA 72 also states that a duct smoke detector is not allowed to replace an area smoke detector, mainly because if the air-handling unit (AHU) is not running, the detector would not detect smoke. Therefore, duct smoke detectors are typically considered mechanical equipment devices instead of life safety devices.
Where are duct detectors required?
NFPA 90A requires duct detectors to be installed on the supply side of air handler units with airflows of more than 2,000 cubic feet per minute (cfm). The standard also requires a duct detector on the return side of any unit with air flows exceeding 15,000 cfm and which serve more than one floor of a building.Dec 10, 2020
What are the 3 types of smoke detectors?
