ST-5	4 to 8 ft.	(1.2 to 2.4 m)
ST-10	8 to 12 ft.	(2.4 to 3.7 m)

Step 4. Install the Inlet Tube

The inlet tube (shown in Figure 3) is identified by a series

of air inlet holes on the tube. This tube must be purchased separately. Order the correct length, as specified in Table 1, for the width of the duct where it will be installed. The exhaust tube is molded into the base of the duct housing.

The inlet tube is always installed in the right house bush- ing, with the air inlet holes facing into the air flow. To assure proper installation, the tube mounting flange is marked with arrows. Mount the inlet tube so that the arrows point into the air flow. Figure 4 shows the various combinations of tube mounting configurations with respect to air flow.

A. Installation for Ducts Less Than 8 Feet Wide

1.If the inlet tube is longer than the width of the air duct, drill a 3/4-inch hole in the duct directly opposite the hole already cut for the inlet tube.

If the inlet tube is shorter than the width of the air duct, install the end cap into the inlet tube (see Figure 3).

2.Slide the inlet tube into the right housing bushing. Position the tube so that the arrows point into the air flow.

3.Secure the tube flange to the housing bushing with the two #6 self-tapping screws.

4.For tubes longer than the width of the air duct, the tube should extend out of the opposite side of the duct. If

there are more than 2 holes in the section of the tube extending out of the duct, select a different tube length using Table 1. Otherwise, trim the end of the tube pro- truding through the duct so that 1 to 2 inches of the tube extends outside the duct. Plug this end with the tube end plug and tape closed any holes in the protruding section of the tube. Be sure to seal the duct when the tube protrudes.

5.Any inlet tube over 3 feet long must be supported on the opposite side of the duct detector housing.

DH500, Intelligent Air Duct Smoke Detector Housing specifications

The System Sensor DH500 is an advanced intelligent air duct smoke detector housing designed to effectively monitor and detect smoke within HVAC ducts. As smoke detection in air handling systems is critical to ensuring the safety of occupants, the DH500 utilizes cutting-edge technology to provide reliable performance and early warning capabilities.

One of the main features of the DH500 is its intelligent detection capabilities. The device employs photoelectric sensing technology, which is well-suited for detecting the slow-burning fires that often generate more smoke than flames. This technology allows for prompt detection of smoke particles while minimizing false alarms caused by dust or other non-threatening particles. The DH500 is designed to operate efficiently in various environments, making it ideal for commercial and industrial settings.

The DH500 is equipped with a low-profile design, providing ease of installation and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance that blends seamlessly with existing ductwork. The housing is made from durable materials, ensuring long-lasting performance and resilience against environmental factors.

Another significant characteristic of the DH500 is its ability to accommodate multiple detectors. The housing can integrate with a variety of smoke detectors, allowing for installation flexibility depending on specific needs and applications. This modularity is particularly advantageous in large buildings where multiple air ducts may need simultaneous monitoring.

The device also incorporates advanced communication options, allowing for compatibility with various fire alarm control panels. This enables real-time monitoring and integration into broader building safety systems, enhancing overall emergency response capabilities. Moreover, the DH500 features an intuitive status indicator that provides visual confirmation of operational performance, making maintenance and monitoring straightforward.

In terms of maintenance, the DH500 is designed for easy access to the smoke detectors, ensuring they can be inspected and cleaned regularly, optimizing their efficiency and longevity. Regular maintenance plays a crucial role in the reliability of smoke detection systems, and the DH500's user-friendly design supports this essential function.

In summary, the System Sensor DH500 intelligent air duct smoke detector housing stands out for its intelligent detection technology, low-profile design, compatibility with multiple detectors, and advanced communication capabilities. Its durable construction and focus on ease of maintenance further enhance its appeal for commercial and industrial applications, making it a reliable choice for effective smoke detection in air handling systems.
