CO Detector, Smoke Detector, and Thermostat Testing

The carbon monoxide detector is a small white plastic device located on the interior wall of the custodial room just to the right of the door.

Vacuum CO Detector Grate

Use a shop vac to vacuum out any debris from the plastic grate on the carbon monoxide detector.

Do not use the shop vac assigned to the jewelry area. (The jewelry area shop vac should only be used for metals.)

Test Smoke Detectors

Check Thermostat Backup Batteries

Each of our thermostats contain two AA batteries.

For each of our four thermostats (two in the back shop, one in the studio by the woodshop door, one inside the conference room behind the TV):

  1. Check each thermostat to see if the REPLACE BATTERY indicator is flashing.
  2. Open the battery case following the image below and inspect the battery and terminals. If you see corrosion, carefully remove and dispose of the existing batteries, then use 220 grit sandpaper to clean the terminals (if they're corroded)
    1. The back shop thermostats are covered with a locked protective case. The keys to this case are in the drawer of the black rolling cart next to the front desk. A spare set are located in the keybox on the wall of the Graphics studio; the password is in Vaultwarden on the front desk PC. 
  3. If the "replace battery" indicator is flashing, replace the batteries - there are spares in the class supply room.
  4. If this is the first time this task is completed this year, replace the batteries regardless of the indicator.
  5. Ensure the clock is set to the correct time - see honeywell_manual.pdf
  6. Ensure the battery holder is properly closed and any safety covers are returned and locked.
