System Sensor DH400ACDCP Install the inlet tube as follows, Modifications Of Inlet Sampling Tubes

Page 5

Install the inlet tube as follows:

1.Drill a 3/4-inch hole in the duct directly opposite the hole already drilled for the inlet tube.

2.Slide the inlet tube with the flange into the centermost housing bushing. Position the tube so that the arrows point into the air flow. Secure the tube flange to the housing bushing with two #6 self-tapping screws.

3.From inside the duct, couple the other section of the inlet tube to the section already installed using the 1/2- inch conduit fitting supplied. Make sure that the holes on both of the air inlet tubes are lined up and facing into the air flow.

4.Trim the end of the tube protruding through the duct so that 1 to 2 inches of the tube extend outside the duct. Plug this end with the end plug and tape closed any holes in the protruding section of the tube. Be sure to seal the duct when the tube protrudes.

NOTE: An alternate method to using the ST-10 is to use two ST-5 inlet tubes. Remove the flange from one of the tubes and install as described above. After the installation, use electrical tape to close off some of the sampling holes so that there is a to- tal of 10 to 12 holes spaced as evenly as possible across the width of the duct.

Air currents inside the duct may cause excessive vibration, especially when the longer sampling tubes are used. In these cases a 3 inch floor flange (available at most plumb- ing supply stores) may be used to fasten the sampling tube to the other side of the duct. When using the flange/con- nector mounting technique, drill a 1 inch to 1-1/4-inch hole where the flange will be used.

[5.4.3] Modifications Of Inlet Sampling Tubes

There may be applications where duct widths are not what is specified for the installation. In such cases, it is permis- sible to modify an inlet sampling tube that is longer than necessary to span the duct width.

Use a 0.193-inch diameter (#11) drill and add the appro- priate number of holes so that the total number of holes exposed to the air flow in the duct is 10 to 12. Space the additional holes as evenly as possible over the length of the tube.

[5.5] 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 reduce the likelihood of wiring errors. Improper connections can prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.

For signal wiring, (the wiring between interconnected de- tectors or from detectors to auxiliary devices), it is usually recommended that single-conductor wire be no smaller than 18 gauge. The duct detector terminals accommodate wire sizes up to 14 gauge. The last foot of conduit should be flexible steel conduit (available in electrical supply houses), which facilitates installation and puts less strain on the conduit holes in the housing. Solid conduit connec- tions may be used, if desired.

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 DH400ACDCP detectors are designed for easy wiring. The housing provides a terminal strip with clamping plates. Wiring connections are made by stripping about 3/8-inch of insulation from the end of the wire, sliding the bare end under the plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw.

The DH400ACDCP duct detector is designed to operate from 24 VDC, 24 VAC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC.

The detector may be wired for interconnection to UL listed control panels, or for stand alone service per NFPA 90A. Refer to the wiring diagrams of Figures 6, 7, and 8 to select the appropriate circuit for your application.

DH400ACDCP specifications

The System Sensor DH400ACDCP is a cutting-edge addressable smoke and heat detector specifically designed for commercial and industrial applications. Its advanced detection capabilities ensure a high level of safety in various environments, making it an essential component of modern fire alarm systems.

One of the standout features of the DH400ACDCP is its dual-sensing technology. This device combines both smoke and heat detection in a single unit, allowing for a more comprehensive approach to fire safety. The smoke detection is performed using a photoelectric sensor, which effectively identifies smoldering fires that produce a large amount of smoke, while the heat detector is designed to respond to rapid temperature increases and fixed temperature thresholds. This dual functionality ensures early notification in the event of a fire, enabling timely response.

The DH400ACDCP also incorporates System Sensor’s innovative analytics technology. This feature utilizes advanced algorithms to minimize false alarms while maintaining sensitivity to actual fire threats. By analyzing environmental conditions and historical data, the detector can distinguish between normal activities and potential fire indicators, thus reducing unnecessary interruptions.

In terms of installation and maintenance, the DH400ACDCP is designed for ease of use. It features a robust addressable communication system, which allows for straightforward integration into existing fire alarm panels. The unit can be easily configured through the panel, providing flexibility in customizing notifications and response protocols. Its durable construction ensures reliability, while routine diagnostics capabilities help monitor device health and facilitate maintenance efforts.

Another significant characteristic of the DH400ACDCP is its compatibility with system monitoring and control platforms. The detector can report its status and any potential issues directly to centralized monitoring stations, enabling rapid response to emergencies or maintenance needs. By integrating with modern building management systems, the DH400ACDCP contributes to an overall intelligent safety infrastructure.

Overall, the System Sensor DH400ACDCP offers a cutting-edge solution for fire safety in various environments, combining advanced detection technology, ease of integration, and robust performance.
