As Scott has said, quality airflow monitoring is key to detecting airflow problems in a particular area. With Air Sampling Smoke Detectors that have four or more pipe inlets it is imperative that you have the capability to monitor airflow per pipe inlet. This will allow you to adjust your flow parameters per pipe inlet and provide superior flow monitoring. For more information see link below. www.airsense.us

As Mike has said, a sample point label (shown at the following link http://www.xtralis.com/opencms/opencms/system/m... ) can be used to deter such painting. However, the key requirement is to ensure that the Air-sampling Smoke Detector has the best quality air-flow monitoring to detect if one or more holes has been blocked and raise a fault indication.

I would suggest utilizing a sample point label on each sampling point. This will deter the pipe painting. Please visit the web site below for pipe products and details.
