Siemens FP-11 FPT-11 Intelligent Fire Detector, Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions FP 11 FPT 11 instructions are written in accordance with the guidelines of NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and CAN ULC S524 The Installation of Fire Alarm Detector Device Storage NOT install this detection device until all is completed NOT store this detection device where it can be by dirt dust or humidity using this detector with a protective detector such as the DGH 11 from Siemens Industry or the STI 8100IS be sure to install per the supplied with the guard and set the ASD to duct detector per the detector programming located on pages 2 3 of this document PLACEMENT FOR FP 11 no specific spacings are set for the detectors for a clean air application use 30 foot center spacing sq ft from NFPA Standard 72 Chapter 5 and if practical as a guide or starting point a detector installation layout This spacing however based on ideal conditions ceiling no air and no physical obstructions In some therefore considerably less area is protected by each smoke detector This is why it is to closely follow the installation drawings In installations place the detector on the ceiling a of 6 inches from a side wall or on a wall 4 to 6 from the ceiling you have any questions regarding detector placement the drawings provided or approved by Siemens Inc or by its authorized distributors This is important The detector placements shown on drawings were chosen after a careful evaluation the area that is protected Such factors as air currents humidity pressure and the nature of the were carefully considered Especially noted were room or area configuration and the type of ceiling or flat smooth or beamed Siemens Industry extensive experience in the design of the system the best detector placement by following these Sound engineering judgement by qualified must be followed Print detectors and nuisance alarms neural network within each Model FP 11 FirePrint is optimized to reject the most common nuisance for its selected FirePrint Application e g Parking or Health Care If the detector is exposed to an level of smoke or aerosol for an extended period time the detector is programmed to make the safe and signal an alarm condition Because the and duration of deceptive phenomena are the rule of thumb is to keep detectors as far practical from sources that can produce an unusually quantity of smoke for about a minute This effort placement of detectors within a FirePrint enhances the ability of FirePrint deceptive rejection Avoid close proximity of detectors smoke sources such as oil burners electric heaters garages and areas of high relative humidity condensation may occur Currents a detector can sense a fire the products of com or smoke must travel from the fire to the detector travel is especially influenced by air currents consider air movement when designing the While combustion products tend to rise drafts hallways air diffusers fans etc may help or hinder travel of combustion products to the detector When a detector at a

PLACEMENT FOR FPT 11 the FPT 11 on the ceiling at least 4 inches from side walls For an ideal smooth ceiling condition place detectors at a maximum center spacing of 50 feet square feet 25 feet from side walls or room For FM Approved installations this device is compensated and has an RTI rating of QUICK Use maximum center spacing of 20 feet 400 square feet feet from sidewalls or room partitions
