[1] General Description
An HVAC system supplies conditioned air to virtually every area of a building. Smoke introduced into this air duct system will be distributed throughout the entire building.
Smoke detectors designed for use in air duct systems are used to sense the presence of smoke in the duct.
Model DH100ACDCLPX Air Duct Smoke Detector utilizes photoelectric technology for the detection of smoke. This detection method, when combined with an efficient housing design, samples air passing through the duct and allows detection of a developing hazardous condition. When sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is initiated and appropriate action can be taken to shut off fans, blowers, change over air handling systems, etc. These actions can facilitate the management of toxic smoke and fire gases throughout the areas served by the duct system.
The DH100ACDCLPX detector is designed to operate on 24
VDC/VAC. Alarm and supervisory relay contacts are available for control panel interface (alarm initiation), HVAC
3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, Illinois 60174
1-800-SENSOR2, FAX: 630-377-6495 control, and other auxiliary functions. Auxiliary relays are also provided for fan shut down or signaling of up to 9 other detectors in the loop for multiple fan shut down. These detectors are not designed for 2-wire applications.
For testing, the alarm can be enabled by a magnet activated test switch or by the optional remote test station. The duct smoke detector latches into alarm state when an alarm occurs. A green LED flashes to indicate power, a red LED signals local alarm indication, and optional accessories offer a variety of annunciation capabilities.
The DH100ACDCLPX can be reset by a momentary power interruption, the reset button on the front cover, the control panel, or remote reset accessory. The DH100ACDCLPX
incorporates a cover tamper feature that provides a trouble signal after 7 minutes if the cover is removed
or improperly installed. Proper installation of the cover removes the trouble condition.
[2] Limitations Of Duct Smoke Detectors
WARNING
The National Fire Protection Association has established that
DUCT DETECTORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE
FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR PROTECTION as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they a substitute for early warning in a building’s regular fire detection system.
System Sensor supports this position and strongly recommends that the user read NFPA Standards 90A, 72, and 101.
The DH100ACDCLPX Air Duct Smoke Detectors are listed per
UL 268A.
WARNING
This device will not operate without electrical power.
Fire situations may cause an interruption of power. The system safeguards should be discussed with your local fire protection specialist.

[5] Installation Sequence
[5.1] Verify Duct Air Flow Direction And Velocity
Model DH100ACDCLPX detectors are designed to be used in air handling systems having air velocities of 100 to 4000 feet per minute. Be sure to check engineering specifications to ensure that the air velocity in the duct falls within these limits. If necessary, use a velocity meter (anemometer) to check the air velocity in the duct.
[5.2] Select Mounting Location
The DH100ACDCLPX is intended for mounting on ductwork and/or brackets which have been pre-drilled with appropriate mounting holes. While other applications are possible, they are not covered within this manual.
[5.3] Sampling Tube Installation
Sampling tubes are identified by a series of air inlet holes along the tube. The correct length tube must be ordered and installed for each application. See Table 1 for a list of tubes which are compatible with this product. For optimal performance, it is recommended that the sampling tube extend at least 2 ⁄
3
of the way across the duct width.

The sampling tube must always be installed with the air inlet holes facing into the air flow. Figure 2 shows the various combinations of tube mounting configurations with respect to air flow. Mounting the detector in a vertical orientation is acceptable, provided that the air flows directly into the sampling tube holes, as indicated in Figure 3.
NOTE: The sampling tube end cap is critical to the proper operation of the duct smoke detector. The end cap is needed to create the proper air flow to the sensor of the duct smoke detector.

[5.4] Install the Detector Housing
Feed the sampling tube and the exhaust port through the predrilled holes in the mounting location, then use two screws to secure the housing to the mounting surface.
Caution: Do not overtighten the screws.
[5.5] Air Filters
Air filters must be installed in both the inlet and exhaust openings inside the detector. These filters are initially installed at the factory. To remove for cleaning. loosen the holding tab and pull the filter out. Replace the filters by pushing them into the sampling and exhaust tube holes, as shown in Figure 5, then replacing the holding tabs.
[5.6] Field Wiring
Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the
National Electrical Code and the local codes having jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The conductors used to connect smoke detectors to control panels and accessory devices should be color-coded to prevent wiring mistakes. Improper connections can prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
For signal wiring, (the wiring between interconnected detectors or from detectors to auxiliary devices), it is usually recommended that single conductor wire be no smaller than 18 gauge. The duct smoke detector terminals accommodate wire sizes up to 12 gauge.
Smoke detectors and alarm system control panels have specifications for allowable loop resistance. Consult the control panel manufacturer’s specifications for the total loop resistance allowed for the particular model control panel being used before wiring the detector loop.
Wiring Instructions
The DH100ACDCLPX detectors are designed for easy wiring. The housing provides a terminal strip with clamping plates. Wiring connections are made by stripping about 3 ⁄
8
″ of insulation from the end of the wire, sliding the bare end under the plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw.

[5.8] Install The Cover
Install the cover using the six screws that are captured in the housing cover. Be certain filters are installed as specified in Section [5.5]. Make sure that the cover fits into the base groove and that all gaskets are in their proper positions. Tighten the six screws.
[6] Duct Smoke Detector Maintenance And Test
Procedures
Test and maintain duct smoke detectors as recommended in NFPA 72. The tests contained in this manual were devised to assist maintenance personnel in verification of proper detector operation.
Before conducting these tests, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detection system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system under test to prevent unwanted alarms.
[6.1] Smoke Entry Tests
[6.1.1] Air Flow
The DH100ACDCLPX is designed to operate over an extended air speed range of 100 to 4000 FPM. To verify sufficient sampling of ducted air, turn the air handler on and use a manometer to measure the differential pressure between the two sampling tubes. The differential pressure should measure at least 0.0015 inches of water and no more than 1.2 inches of water. Because most commercially available manometers cannot accurately measure very low pressure differentials, applications with less than 500 FPM of duct air speed may require one of the following: 1) the use of a current-sourcing pressure transmitter (Dwyer Series 607) per Section 6.1.4 or;
2) the use of aerosol smoke per section 6.1.2.
carrying smoke away from the detector head, then blow smoke such as cigarette, cotton wick, or punk directly at the head to cause an alarm. REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE
PLUGS AFTER THIS TEST, OR THE DETECTOR WILL NOT
FUNCTION PROPERLY.
[6.1.4] Air Flow Test using Dwyer Series 607
Differential Pressure Transmitter
Verify the air speed of the duct using an anemometer. Air speed must be at least 100 FPM. Wire the Dwyer transmitter as shown in Figure 6. Connect the leads of the meter to either side of the 1000Ω resistor. Allow unit to warm up for 15 seconds. With both HIGH and LOW pressure ports open to ambient air, measure and record the voltage drop acrossthe 1000Ω resistor (measurement 1), 4.00 volts is typical. Using flexible tubing and rubber stoppers, connect the HIGH side of the transmitter to the inlet sampling tube of the duct smoke detector housing, and the LOW side of the transmitter to the exhaust sampling tube of the duct smoke detector housing. Measure and record the voltage drop across the 1000Ω resistor (measurement 2). Subtract the voltage recorded in measurement 1 from the voltage recorded in measurement 2. If the difference is greater than
0.15 volts, there is enough air flow through the duct smoke detector for proper operation.

[6.2.1] Standby And Trouble
Standby — Look for the presence of the flashing green LED. The
LED should flash approximately every 10 seconds.
To install the RTS451/RTS451KEY, connect the device as shown in Figure 9; wire runs must be limited to 25 ohms or less per interconnecting wire.
Please note that the magnetic coil supplied with the
RTS451 and RTS451KEY is not required when these accessories are used with the DH100 Series detectors.
The functionality of the magnetic coil has been designed into the circuitry of the new Innovair™ duct smoke detectors.
Trouble — If the detector LED does not flash, then the detector lacks power (check wiring, panel, or power supply), the detector board is missing (replace), the cover has been missing or not secured properly for more than 7 minutes (secure cover properly), or the unit is defective (return for repair).
Test — The trouble condition can be caused intentionally to verify correct operation of the system. Remove the detector board to cause a trouble condition locally and at the system control panel.
Cover
Tamper — If the cover is removed or not properly secured
for a period longer than 7 minutes, a trouble
signal is generated to indicate the cover is missing.
[6.2.2.3] SSK451 Multi-Signaling Accessory
The System Sensor SSK451 Multi-Signaling accessory combines a sounder feature with a key activated test and reset function. Green, amber and red LEDs provide a visual indication of power, trouble, and alarm respectively. An optional strobe (PS24LO) with a smoke lens can be added to conform to the codes of certain jurisdictions. To install the SSK451, connect the device as shown in figure 13.
[6.2.3] Sensitivity Tests
[6.2.3.1] MOD400 or MOD400R Test

Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard
72, National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), manufacturer’s recommendations, state and local codes, and the recommendations contained in
Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off or give early warning in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:
• Particles of combustion or “smoke” from a developing fire may
not reach the sensing chambers of the smoke detector because:
- Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys may inhibit flow.
- Smoke particles may become “cold” and stratify, and may
not reach the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
- Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets.
- Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reach-
ing the detector.
In general, smoke detectors on one level of a structure cannot be expected to sense fires developing on another level.
• The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at
various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
• Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing cham-
bers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires,
which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-
type sensing chambers tend to detect fast flaming fires better
than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways
and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of
detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not
provide adequate warning of a fire.
• Smoke detectors are subject to false alarms and nuisance alarms.
For example, a smoke detector located in or near a kitchen may
go into nuisance alarm during normal operation of kitchen appli-
ances. In addition, dusty or steamy environments may cause a
smoke detector to falsely alarm. If the location of a smoke detec-
tor causes an abundance of false alarms or nuisance alarms, do
not disconnect the smoke detector; call a professional to analyze
the situation and recommend a solution.
• Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warn-
ing of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches
(especially within bedrooms), smoking in bed, violent explo-
sions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, etc.).
• Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and are de-
signed to alarm only when heat on their sensors increase at a
predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Heat detec-
tors are designed to protect property, not life.
• Warning devices (including horns, sirens, and bells) may not
alert people or wake up sleepers who are located on the other
side of closed or partially open doors. A warning device that
activates on a different floor or level of a dwelling or structure is
less likely to awaken or alert people. Even persons who are
awake may not notice the warning if the alarm is muffled by
noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or
by passing traffic. Audible warning devices may not alert the
hearing-impaired (strobes or other devices should be provided to
warn these people). Any warning device may fail to alert people
with a disability, deep sleepers, people who have recently used
alcohol or drugs, or people on medication or sleeping pills.
- Please note that:
i) Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures
in people with conditions such as epilepsy.
ii) Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend
the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner’s re-
sponsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exer-
cises to make people aware of fire alarm signals and in-
struct on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
iii) In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premis-
es to a central station may be out of service or temporarily out
of service. For added protection against telephone line failure,
backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
• System components, though designed to last many years, can
fail at any time. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended
that smoke detectors be checked, maintained, and replaced per
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• System components will not work without electrical power. If
system batteries are not serviced or replaced regularly, they may
not provide battery backup when AC power fails.
• Environments with high air velocity or that are dusty or dirty
require more frequent maintenance.
• To keep your fire alarm system in excellent working order, on-
going maintenance is required per the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum the
requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 shall be followed. A main-
tenance agreement should be arranged through the local manu-
facturer’s representative. Maintenance should be performed
annually by authorized personnel only.
• The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning
when a fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. As such, the
alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors
and transmitters are working properly.
• Although designed for long life, fire alarm devices including
smoke detectors may fail at any time. It is recommended that
smoke detectors shall be replaced every 10 years.
• Any smoke detector, fire alarm system or any component of that
system which fails shall be repaired or replaced immediately.
In general, fire alarm systems and devices will not work without power and will not function properly unless they are maintained and tested regularly.
While installing a fire alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Property owners should continue to act prudently in protecting the premises and the people in the premises and should properly insure life and property and buy sufficient amounts of liability insurance to meet their needs.

Requirements and recommendations for proper use of fire alarm systems including smoke detectors and other fire alarm devices:
Early fire detection is best achieved by the installation and maintenance of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the house or building in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 72, National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA
72), the manufacturer’s recommendations, State and local codes and the recommendations contained in Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. For specific requirements, check with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (ex. Fire Chief) for fire protection systems.
Requirements and Recommendations include:
• For residential applications, smoke detectors shall be in
stalled outside of each separate sleeping area in the im
mediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional
story of the family living unit, including basements and
excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
• Smoke detectors shall be installed in sleeping rooms in new construction and it is recommended that they shall also be
installed in sleeping rooms in existing construction.
• It is recommended that more than one smoke detector shall be installed in a hallway if it is more than 30 feet long.
• It is recommended that there shall never be less then two
smoke detectors per apartment or residence.
• It is recommended that smoke detectors be located in any
room where an alarm control is located, or in any room
where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone
lines are made.
If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could
prevent the control from reporting a fire.
• All fire alarm systems require notification devices, including
sirens, bells, horns, and/or strobes. In residential applica
tions, each automatic alarm initiating device when activated
shall cause the operation of an alarm notification device
that shall be clearly audible in all bedrooms over ambient
or background noise levels (at least 15dB above noise)
with all intervening doors closed.
• It is recommended that a smoke detector with an integral
sounder (smoke alarm) be located in every bedroom and an
additional notification device be located on each level of a
residence.
• To keep your fire alarm system in excellent working order,
ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer’s rec ommendations and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 shall be followed.
A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the
local manufacturer’s representative. Maintenance should be performed annually by authorized personnel only.
• The most common cause of an alarm system not function
ing when a fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. As
such, the alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure
all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
• Although designed for long life, fire alarm devices including smoke detectors may fail at any time. It is recommended that residential smoke detectors shall be replaced every 10 years.
• Any smoke detector, fire alarm system or any component of that system which fails shall be repaired or replaced immediately.
