The SD355(A), SD355T(A), and SD355R(A) addressable, low-profile plug-in photoelectric detectors use a state-of-theart photoelectric sensing chamber with communications to provide open area protection and are used exclusively with Fire•Lite’s Addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). The SD355T(A) adds thermal sensors that will alarm at a fixed temperature of 135°F (57°C). Since these detectors are addressable, they will help emergency personnel quickly locate a fire during its early stages, potentially saving precious rescue time while also reducing property damage. Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication. Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional accessory, PN RA100Z(A). The SD355R(A) is a remote test capable detector for use with D355PL(A) or DNR(A)/DNRW duct smoke detector housings
SD355(A) series plug-in detectors use a detachable mounting
base to simplify installation, service and maintenance.
Mount base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which is
at least 1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. For a chart of compatible junction
boxes, see DF-60059.
NOTE: Because of the inherent supervision provided by the SLC
loop, end-of-line resistors are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or
branches are permitted for Style 4 (Class B) wiring. SD355R(A)
mounts in a D355PL(A) or DNR(A)/DNRW duct detector housing.
Each SD355(A) series detector uses one of 99 possible
addresses on the MS-9200UD(LS) and up to 318 (159 on
each loop) on the MS-9600UD(LS) Signaling Line Circuit
(SLC). It responds to regular polls from the system and reports
its type and status.
The addressable photoelectric sensor in the SD355(A) series
has a unique unipolar chamber that responds quickly and uniformly
to a broad range of smoke conditions. It can withstand
wind gusts up to 4,000 feet-per-minute (20 m/sec.) without
sending an alarm level signal. Because of its unipolar chamber,
the SD355(A) series is approximately two times more
responsive than most photoelectric sensors. This makes it a
more stable detecto
Use photoelectric detectors in life-safety applications to provide
a broad range of fire-sensing capability, especially where
smoldering fires are anticipated. Ionization detectors are often
better than photoelectric detectors at sensing fast, flaming
fires.
These detectors are constructed of off-white fire resistant plastic.
SD355(A) series plug-in, low-profile smoke detectors are
designed to commercial standards and offer an attractive
appearance.
