Before Installing

Please thoroughly read the System Sensor manual A05- 1003, Applications Guide for System Smoke Detectors. This manual provides detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this manual are available at no charge from System Sensor. (For installation in Canada, refer to CAN/ULC- S524, Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems and CEC Part 1, Sec. 32.)

General Description

System Sensor 1400 dual-chamber ionization smoke detec- tors utilize state-of-the-art, unipolar sensing chambers. These detectors are designed to provide open area protec- tion, and to be used with compatible UL-listed, 2-wire con- trol panels only. The detector’s operation and sensitivity can be tested in place.

Each detector includes an LED that provides a local visual indication of the detector’s status. The LED blinks every ten seconds as an indication that power is applied to the detector and lights continuously in alarm. These detectors also have the latching alarm feature. The alarm can be reset only by a momentary power interruption.

The detector also has provision for the connection of an optional Model RA400Z Remote Annunciator. The RA400Z provides a visual indication of an alarm and mounts to a single gang box.

Spacing

NFPA 72 defines the spacing requirements for smoke detectors. Typically, this is 30 feet when the detectors are installed on a smooth ceiling. However, ALL installations must comply with NFPA 72 and/or special requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
