Troubleshooting & Maintenance

40

Urgent Low / High Airflow : Codes F39 - F54 Check Pipe work for blockages Sample points may be partially block and in need of back flushing. Glue possibly formed internally on joins restricting flow. Filt Filter changed / Pipes cleaned without re- normalizing airflow h d Pi l d ith t li i i fl Check external influences on Pipe work i.e. A/C units , wind in open areas.

Flow Sensor Fail : Codes F19 - F22 If all F19 - F22 codes appear at the same time the sensor cable from Chassis to flow board is most likely to be unplugged. Otherwise these fault codes mean the flow sensor board is faulty. (Chassis Change Required)

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

41

Fault Codes: F75 - Normalization failed F77 - Normalization in progress Normalization failure can be caused by unit not getting enough air through the inlet port. This may be due to a blockage or partial blockage in the pipe / p y g p g pp sample holes.

Always ensure exhaust bung has been removed before normalization.

Also ensure pipe runs have been calculated using ASPIRE2 and return a minimum of 15ltrs/min per pipe. VLF-250 requires an airflow between 12L/min to 24L/min/. VLF-500 requires an airflow between 12L/min to 52L/min/.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Airflow - Raw Airflow Data

42

Raw Airflow Data is just that Data. It does not have a volumetric unit of any kind.

It is recommended to record the Raw Air flow at Installation. It should then be checked every 6 months. months

A decrease in Raw Airflow will be indicative of sampling holes becoming progressively blocked.

Raw Airflow will show this, whereas the Percentage Airflow may not if the flow has recently been normalized.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Communication Faults

43

Comms fault on Port A or B of device: F2,F9

Check network cable for continuity Check Polarity on Comms connection; + to + and to -.

Temporarily remove detector from VESDAnet (insert jumper) and check internal loop is ok. This can be done by checking 2 green LEDs on top of the Head Processor Card.

If internal loop has fault (only 1 LED on) remove Display /Programmer to confirm which node has Comms fault.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

44

Fault F11 Filter Approaching Capacity The air filter is approaching its capacity. This is based on the amount of dust detected or age of the filter. OR The service interval has expired F65 - Incompatible Software Version Detected Contact your Distributor to Upgrade your device to version 3.xx

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Configuration Faults

45

F13 More than one detector in Zone This can be rectified by assigning detector to a different zone that doesnt contain a Detector. F24 Cant Find Display / Relay Appears when a Display has been removed from a Zone. If Display is removed or replaced with another , the Rebuild Zone List f function needs to be used. F28 Scanner Option misconfigured. Fault appears when a Non Scan and Scan device are put in the same Zone or when a programmer is assigned to a Non Scan Detector Zone. F58 Too many auto scans in one week Bring the Alert Threshold up a little

F0 - Aspirator Failure F3 - Detector PIC Fail F8 - Aspirator Speed Control Fail These faults could occur at the same time. If the Detector PIC was to fail it would also cause Aspirator control problems problems. F14 - Flow Sensors = Factory Default F37 - Detector Calibration = Factory Default F29 - Manufacturer Setup Corrupted These faults require the detector to be returned for recalibration. F23 - Laser Signal Low This fault requires the detector to be returned for service.

Isolating Systems

Isolation of risk zones should only be carried out with the full knowledge and approval of the appropriate supervising authority. Always follow site specific isolation requirements as necessary Isolate FIP first and then detector.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Pipe Network Inspection

50

1. Without disturbing the pipe network inspect each pipe run to its full length for any obvious breaks 2. Examine all pipe joints to ensure these are firmly secured 3. 3 Ensure end caps are set firmly in place 4. If capillary sampling is used, ensure that the capillaries have not become loose 5. Conduct a simple smoke test. If the system fails to respond it may be necessary to clean the pipes

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Pipe work Back Flushing

51

1. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6. 7. 8.

Remove capillary tubes from the main sampling pipe. Ensure that all the pipes are disconnected from the detector pipe inlet manifold. Ensure that no foreign materials are able to enter the detector manifold. Insert a length of flexible tubing into the sampling pipe sealing any gaps between the sampling pipe and the flexible tubing with electrical tape. Connect the relevant flexible tube to a compressed air source (approx. 400 KPAs) and flush pipes for at least 2 minutes. Visually check to see that the sampling points are not blocked. Reassemble the sampling point and connect it to the capillary tube. Normalize the detector and conduct a smoke test to check for broken pipes or joints.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Pipe work Testing Methods

52

A pipe integrity test should be conducted every twelve months. A smoke test is necessary to prove the integrity of the pipe network and to measure th transport time. the t t ti When testing pipe integrity it is important to perform a smoke test.This can be in the form of : Can smoke (not in Cold rooms) Mozzie coil Incense Stick This should be performed in accordance with the applicable maintenance standards. The transport time compared with the original ASPIRE2 calculations.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Smoke Testing

53

There are two types of tests 1. Commissioning test Aspire 2 Transport time verification 2. Performance based test See below Materials used to generate smoke in a smoke test should be of a type most likely to be encountered in a real life situation.

Hot Wire Test - Overheating the outer PVC sheath to a 1meter length of 0.79mm2 cable in a controlled manner. Alternatively a variable hot plate capable of 200 0C may be used. Other tests as described in EN-54.20 or other standards

Troubleshooting & Maintenance Smoke Pellet Test

54

Chimney (10cm dia, 15cm high) Plate (20cm square 2mm thick) Pellet (under chimney) (13g) Gas Burner (5.8kW thermal output)

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

55

Real Testing Materials used in the smoke test should be representative of the actual fuel load in the environment

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

56

How do you clear an F24 fault (cant find Display\Relays)? What can we do to clear F16 (Relays not found)?

Trouble shooting Exercise

57

Spend 5 - 10 minutes to create software and hardware faults. Swap detectors with the group next to you and fix all the faults You should be able to rectify all faults within 20 minutes
