Before installing detectors, please thoroughly read the NEMA Guide for
Proper Use of Smoke Detectors in Duct Applications, which provides
detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring,
and special applications. Copies of this manual are available from
NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association, 2101 L Street NW,
Washington, DC 20037). NFPA Standards 72 and 90A should also be ref-
erenced for detailed information.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this
equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regularly fol-
lowing NFPA 72 requirements. The detector should be cleaned at least
once a year.
General Description
An HVAC system supplies conditioned air to virtually every area of
a building. Smoke introduced into this air duct system is distrib-
uted to the entire building. Smoke detectors designed for use in air
duct systems are used to sense the presence of smoke in the duct.
Contents of the Duct Smoke Detector Housing Kit
The DH200RPL Duct Smoke Detector consists of the following items
(See Figure 1.):
Figure 1. Exploded View Of Duct Smoke Detector Components:
NOTE: For ducts over 1
1
⁄2 feet (0.46m), longer 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 sampling tube required for different duct widths.
Contents Of The Duct Smoke Detector
1. Complete duct smoke detector assembly with
sensor
2. Two #10 x 1
1
⁄4″ sheet metal mounting screws
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
sampling tube and optional exhaust tube
extension
8. One sampling tube end cap
9. One plastic sampling tube
10. One #8 self-tapping screw for plastic sampling
tube
NOTE: A detector sensor board DOES NOT need to
be ordered separately.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The DH200RPL air duct smoke detector is photoelectric detector. This
smoke detection method combines with an efficient housing design that
samples air passing through a duct and allows detection of a developing
hazardous condition. When sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is
initiated at the fire control panel monitoring the detector, and appropriate
action can be taken to shut off fans, blowers and change over air handling
systems, etc. This can prevent the distribution or it can isolate toxic smoke
and fire gases throughout the areas served by the duct system.
Two LEDs on each detector may illuminate, if programmed by the system
control panel, to provide a local alarm indication. There is also a remote
alarm output for use with auxiliary devices. The DH200RPL has remote
test capability with the RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station.
The DH200RPL incorporates a cover tamper feature. When the cover is
removed for more than 20 minutes, the unit loses communication at the
panel, a trouble is indicated at the panel and the alarm relay switches
states thereby shutting down fans, dampers and blowers. In the case
when the sensor is removed or when there is no power to the unit, only a
trouble is indicated at the panel (alarm relay does not work any longer).
