heat and duct detectors of smoke heat and duct detectors group of detectors comprises of a variety of detection technologies available various combinations to meet the needs of the fire protection community smoke and heat detectors are constructed of a white high impact polymer plug into one of a variety of mounting bases that feature base locking tabs duct smoke detectors are constructed of a black high impact polymer with a plastic cover and attach directly to the HVAC system duct table below lists the available detector models heat and duct detectors smoke detector photoelectric smoke and 57 fixed temperature heat 135 57 fixed and 15 8 per minute heat detector smoke detector smoke and heat detectors are analog addressable devices that contain their microprocessors which allow them to make alarm decisions based on the collected by their sensors Depending on the detector decisions may based on the information gathered by up to two independent sensing address of each detector is assigned using the two rotary switches located the detector detectors provide LEDs that indicate the detector condition In normal the network control panel performs background supervision indicated the flashing green LED An alarm condition is indicated by the flashing red sensing technologies are incorporated into E PHD and E HD detectors makes them suitable for a wide range of applications tables in the Heat detector applications section of this document list the suitable for the E PHD and E HD Tables in the Smoke detector section list the applications suitable for the E PD and E PHD The Heat and Duct Detectors Application Bulletin of smoke heat and duct detectors smoke detector applications section of this document lists the applications for the E PDD E PHD and E PDD detectors offer a variety of sensitivity settings The sensitivity is the minimum obscuration level at which the detector will an alarm condition The alarm sensitivity level may be changed to any of sensitivity settings using front panel programming or the configuration utility smoke detectors offer alarm verification which is used to validate an alarm before it is processed by the control panel When enabled the alarm function tries to reset a detector that has initiated an alarm condition the detector cannot be reset or if it returns to its alarm condition within the time window the alarm is considered valid and is processed by the panel Heat and Duct Detectors Application Bulletin detector applications detector applications This detector is intended for use with ionization and or photoelectric
