Guide for System Smoke Detectors This provides detailed information on detector spacing zoning wiring and special applications Copies this manual are available at no charge from System For installation in Canada refer to CAN ULC Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems CEC Part 1 Sec 32 Description Sensor 1400 dual chamber ionization smoke detec utilize state of the art unipolar sensing chambers detectors are designed to provide open area protec and to be used with compatible UL listed 2 wire con panels only The detector operation and sensitivity be tested in place detector includes an LED that provides a local visual of the detector status The LED blinks every seconds as an indication that power is applied to the and lights continuously in alarm These detectors have the latching alarm feature The alarm can be reset by a momentary power interruption detector also has provision for the connection of an Model RA400Z Remote Annunciator The RA400Z a visual indication of an alarm and mounts to a gang box 72 defines the spacing requirements for smoke Typically this is 30 feet when the detectors are on a smooth ceiling However ALL installations comply with NFPA 72 and or special requirements of authority having jurisdiction 1 I56 279 05R 1 Surface mounting of Model 1400 detector 3 1 2 and 4 inch octagonal box 2 Model 1400 detector mounting bracket detectors and alarm system control panels have for allowable loop resistance Consult the panel manufacturer specifications for the total resistance allowed for the control panel being used wiring the detector loops electrical connections by stripping about 3 insula from the end of the wire Then slide the bare end of wire under the clamping plate and tighten the clamping screw A wiring diagram for a typical 2 wire detector is shown in Figure 3 Break the wire at each terminal to ensure that the are supervised Do NOT loop the wire the terminals Sensor smoke detectors are marked with a compat identifier located as the last digit of a five digit code on the back of the product Connect detectors to compatible control units as indicated in System compatibility chart which contains a current list UL listed control units and detectors A copy of this list available from System Sensor upon request Feature detector includes a tamper resistant feature that effec prevents removal of the detector without the use of tool To make the detector tamper resistant break off smaller tab at the scribed line on the tamper resistant on the detector mounting bracket see Figure 2 then the detector To remove the detector from the bracket it has been made tamper resistant use a small screw to depress the tamper resistant tab located in the on the mounting bracket and turn the detector coun for removal MAKE DETECTOR TAMPER RESISTANT OFF TAB EXTENSION SCRIBED LINE 1400 detector is supplied with a mounting bracket kit permits the detector to be mounted Directly to a 31 inch or 4 inch octagonal 11 inch deep box or To a 4 inch square electrical box by using a plaster ring the supplied mounting bracket kit Wiring Guidelines wiring must be installed in compliance with the Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and special requirements of the authority having jurisdic using the proper wire size The conductors used to smoke detectors to control panels and accessory should be color coded to reduce the likelihood of errors Improper connections can prevent a system responding properly in the event of a fire the power to the alarm system control unit installing detectors Wire the detector following the installation guidelines Line up arrows on the detector with the arrows on the Rotate the detector clockwise until it clicks into place After all detectors have been installed apply power to bracket control unit signal wiring the wiring between interconnected it is recommended that the wire be no smaller AWG 18 However the screws and clamping plate can wire sizes up to AWG 12 The use of twisted wiring for the power and loop is recommended minimize the effects of electrical interference 2 I56 279 05R Test the detector as described under TESTING Reset the detector at the system control panel Notify the proper authorities that the system is in opera 3 Wiring diagram for 1400 smoke detector used with two wire control panel LISTED IF REMOTE ANNUNCIATOR IS NOT USED POLARITY TO DETECTOR MAY BE REVERSED A OPTIONAL WIRING covers can be used to help limit dust entry to the but they are not a substitute for removing the during building construction Remove any dust before placing system in service detectors are not to be used with detector guards the combination has been evaluated and found for that purpose testing the detector look for the presence of the LED If it does not flash power has been lost to the check the wiring or it is defective return for refer to Warranty must be tested after installation and following maintenance Notify the proper authorities that system is undergoing testing The 1400 may be tested follows Recessed Test Switch 1 A test switch is located on the detector housing See 4 2 Push and hold the recessed test switch with a 0.1 inch diameter tool 3 The LED on the detector should light within 5 seconds Test Module System Sensor Model No MOD400R The MOD400R is used with an analog or digital voltme to check the detector sensitivity as described in the module manual Aerosol Generator Gemini 501 Set the generator to represent 4 ft to 5 ft obscuration described in the Gemini 501 manual Using the bowl applicator apply aerosol until the unit alarms the proper authorities that the system is back on that fail these tests should be cleaned as described MAINTENANCE and retested If the detectors
