6) It is essential that the smoke flow be
continuous and not a series of iso-
lated puffs as the detector will sense
the clear spaces between the smoke
as a return to normal, non-smoke con-
dition.
7) If the smoke testing team has diffi-
culty with their initial attempts, refer to
smoke detecor system sensitivity
adjustment and smoke testing proce-
dures contained in the manufacturer's
manual.
8) As smoke is introduced into the mod-
ule, the delta voltage should decline.
9) If the voltage appears to modulate
(decline and increase), this indicates
smoke is not being introduced contin-
uously into the accumulator. If no
voltage decline is observed, it indi-
cates:
(a) There are seriously discontinuities
in the pipework.
(b) There are blockages in the
pipework.
(c) The pipework does not run to the
module being tested.
10) The smoke test procedure is per-
formed by two persons:
(a) One man operates the smoke
tester and applies smoke to each
accumulator installed in the ves-
sel.
(b) The second man, stationed at the
detector cabinet, observes the
system alarming, resets it, and
records the specific accumulator
causing a specific detector mod-
ule to alarm.
