Mounting (Wall or Ceiling)

1.Attach mounting plate to junction box as shown in Fig- ure 6. The mounting plate is compatible with 4˝ square, double gang, and 4˝ octagon junction boxes (2-wire products may be used with a single gang box). If using a back box skirt, attach the mounting plate to the skirt and then attach the entire assembly to the junction box (see Figure 7).

Note: For outdoor applications, the product must be

installed using the proper SpectrAlert Advance water- tight junction box. The wall mount watertight junction box must be mounted with its internal post in the lower left corner as shown in Figure 8.

2.Connect field wiring according to terminal definitions.

3.If the product is not to be installed at this point, use the dust cover to prevent contamination of the wiring termi- nals of the mounting plate.

4.To attach product to mounting plate, hook tabs on the product housing into the grooves on mounting plate. Then, swing product into position to engage the pins on the product with the terminals on the mounting plate. Make sure that the tabs on the back of the product hous- ing fully engage with the mounting plate.

5.Secure product by tightening the single mounting screw in the front of the product housing.

NOTE: Standard captured mounting screw may be re- placed with enclosed torx screw for tamper resistance.

WARNING

The Limitations of Horn/Strobes

The horn and/or strobe will not work without power. The horn/strobe gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If power is cut off for any reason, the horn/strobe will not provide the desired audio or visual warning.

The horn may not be heard. The loudness of the horn meets (or exceeds) current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic bever- ages. The horn may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm. The horn may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired.

NOTE: Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation.

The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses an extremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must not be in- stalledindirectsunlightorareasofhighlightintensity(over60footcandles)wherethevisual flash might be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.

The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photoic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals, including this strobe, are activated.

The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded power supplies produceinterruptedpower.Thestrobemusthaveanuninterruptedsourceofpowerinorder to operate correctly. System Sensor recommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.

Three-Year Limited Warranty

System Sensor warrants its enclosed product to be free from defects in ma- terials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no other express war- ranty for this product. No agent, representative, dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be limited to the replacement of any part of the product which is found to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service during the three year period commencing with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll free number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a Return Authorization number, send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, Returns

Department, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174. Please

include a note describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure. The Company shall not be obligated to replace units which are found to be defective because of damage, unreasonable use, modifications, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case shall the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages for breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever, even if the loss or damage is caused by the Company’s negligence or fault. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

FCC Statement

SpectrAlert Strobes and Horn/Strobes have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

P2R specifications

System Sensor P2R is a state-of-the-art photoelectric smoke detector designed for advanced fire detection applications. This innovative device utilizes cutting-edge technology to ensure maximum reliability and performance in various environments. One of its main features is the incorporation of a dual chamber photoelectric sensing technology, which enhances its ability to detect a wide range of smoke particles, particularly those generated by smoldering fires.

The P2R is equipped with advanced algorithms that can differentiate between real fire signatures and false alarms, significantly reducing nuisance alarms that can lead to unnecessary disruptions. With a sophisticated signal processing capability, the detector can analyze the particulate matter present in the air and provide a more accurate response, making it suitable for both residential and commercial properties.

Another notable characteristic of the System Sensor P2R is its compatibility with a variety of fire alarm control panels. This ensures seamless integration into existing fire alarm systems, enhancing the overall safety measures in place. The detector communicates with other devices in the system using advanced wireless protocols, allowing for easy installation and efficient communication without the need for extensive wiring.

An additional feature of the P2R is its built-in sounder, which generates a loud alarm to alert occupants in the event of smoke detection. This is particularly useful in larger spaces where a visual indicator alone may not be sufficient. The device also incorporates a test button that allows users to easily check the functionality of the unit, ensuring that it is always in optimal working condition.

Moreover, the P2R is designed with a long-lasting power supply, requiring less frequent battery changes. This not only enhances its reliability but also reduces maintenance costs over time. The device is constructed with materials that ensure durability and can withstand varying environmental conditions, making it an ideal choice for diverse installations.

In summary, the System Sensor P2R is a highly advanced photoelectric smoke detector featuring dual chamber technology, intelligent algorithms, and compatibility with existing fire alarm systems. Its built-in sounder, easy testing capabilities, and robust design contribute to its reputation as a reliable solution for effective fire detection, making it an essential component in safeguarding lives and property.
