1. Complete housing base and cover assembly

2. Two #10 machine screws for mounting

3. Two sampling tube filters

4. One test magnet

5. Drilling template

6. Two foam gaskets

7. Four #6-self tapping mounting screws for the metal sampling tube and optional exhaust tube extension

8. Two jack nuts

9. One inlet tube end plug

10. One telescoping sampling tube

11. One #8 self-tapping screw for the telescoping sampling tube

NOTE: For ducts over 11/2 feet, longer inlet sampling tubes must be ordered to complete the installation. They must be the correct length for the width of the duct where they will be installed. See Table 1 on page 3 to determine the inlet tube required for different duct widths.

smooth on the duct. Center punch holes A and B. Drill the holes as indicated on the template. Insert the two jack nut receptacles. Drive a #10 machine screw into jacket to flare the retainer, then back out the screw to use for detector mounting.

[5.2.1] Sampling Tube Installation for Ducts Less Than 11/2 Feet Wide (see Figure 2)

1.Remove the front cover.

2.Use the tube installation chart above to determine the set screw setting.

3.Slide the sampling tube into the housing bushing.

4.Align the holes in the bushing with the holes in the sampling tube. Make sure the number of exposed holes on the supplemental tube matches the number as deter- mined in step 2. Secure with the #8 self-tapping screw

into the bottom of the permanent tube.

NOTE: For ducts greater than 11/2 feet in width, refer to sections [5.4.1] and [5.4.2].

[6.2.2.2] RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station The RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station facilitates test of the alarm capability of the duct smoke detector as indicated in the RTS451/RTS451KEY manual. The DH100ACDC duct smoke detector can be reset by the RTS451/RTS451KEY. If a system control panel is used,

of the detector, the detector chamber requires cleaning per Section [7] of this manual.

[7] Detector Cleaning Procedures

Notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector sys- tem is undergoing maintenance, and that the system will temporarily be out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms and possible dispatch of the fire department.

[7.1] Air Filters

1.Turn off power to the system.

2.Remove and inspect sampling tube filters.

3.If filters are heavily coated with dirt, replace them with new filters. If they are not heavily coated, use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air nozzle to remove dust, then reinstall the filters.

[7.2] Photo Detector Boards

1. Remove the screen by gently grasping on each side and

pulling straight off.

[5] Installation Sequence

[5.1] Verify Duct Air Flow Direction And Velocity

Model DH100ACDC detectors are designed to be used in air handling systems having air velocities of 500 to 4000 feet per minute. Be sure to check engineering specifications to ensure that the air velocity in the duct falls within these pa- rameters. If necessary, use a velocity meter to check the air velocity in the duct.

[5.2] Drill The Mounting Holes

Remove the paper backing from the mounting template supplied. Affix the template to the duct at the desired mounting location. Make sure the template lies flat and

detector:

[5.3] Secure The Detector Housing To The Duct

Slide the foam gaskets over the tube bushings as shown in Figure 3. Use the two machine screws to screw the detector

the panel itself may also require testing.

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.

[6.2.3] Sensitivity Tests

[6.2.3.1] MOD400 or MOD400R Test

After verification of alarm capability, use the MOD400R test module with a voltmeter to check detector sensitivity as in- dicated in the test module’s manual. The housing cover must be removed to perform this test.

2.

Lift the photo chamber in the same fashion. Vacuum the

 

screen and cover. Use clean, compressed air to loosen

 

and blow out any remaining debris. Replacement

 

screens (S08-39-01) are available.

3.

Vacuum photo chamber, then use clean compressed air

 

to blow area clean.

4.

Replace the chamber by pressing it onto the base.

 

Press the screen into place. It should fit tightly on the

 

chamber.

DH100ACDC specifications

The System Sensor DH100ACDC is a cutting-edge, dual-power smoke and heat detector designed for efficient smoke detection in both commercial and residential environments. This device stands out due to its advanced features and technologies, making it a preferred choice for fire protection professionals.

One of the primary features of the DH100ACDC is its dual-powered capability. The detector can operate using both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power, ensuring that it maintains functionality even during power outages. This versatility makes it suitable for various applications, whether in homes, offices, warehouses, or industrial settings.

The DH100ACDC is equipped with an advanced photoelectric sensing technology that enhances its ability to detect smoke particles more effectively than traditional ionization detectors. This technology helps in reducing the occurrence of false alarms while providing reliable detection of smoldering fires, which are the most common type of fires in residential buildings. The photoelectric sensor can quickly identify minute smoke particles and trigger an alarm before a fire escalates.

Another notable characteristic of the DH100ACDC is its thermal detection capabilities. This device includes a built-in heat sensor that activates the alarm when temperatures exceed a preset threshold, making it especially useful in environments where excess heat may precede a fire. The combination of smoke and heat detection allows for a more comprehensive fire safety solution.

In terms of design, the DH100ACDC features a sleek, compact profile that can blend seamlessly into various environments. Its ergonomic design facilitates easy installation, and the device comes with a user-friendly interface for straightforward operation and maintenance.

Additionally, the DH100ACDC incorporates a robust communication system. The detector can easily integrate with existing fire alarm systems, enhancing overall fire safety management in any building. Its compatibility with various control panels adds to its versatility and appeal.

In summary, the System Sensor DH100ACDC is an advanced smoke and heat detector that boasts dual-power capabilities, photoelectric and thermal detection technologies, easy installation, and seamless integration with fire alarm systems. These features make it an excellent choice for individuals and organizations looking to bolster their fire safety measures.
