INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PRODUCT APPLICATION

SL-DA4R Series duct smoke detectors provide early detection of smoke and

products of combustion present in air moving through an HVAC duct supply,

return, or both in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. These

devices are designed to prevent the recirculation of smoke in areas by the air

handling system’s fans and blowers. Complete systems may be shut down in

the event of smoke detection, via the alarm relay contacts provided and/or the

building’s fire alarm control panel (FACP).

NOTE:For the correct installation of a duct smoke unit, please refer to

the NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code), NFPA 90A (Standard for Installation of Air

Conditioning and Ventilation Systems), NFPA 92A (Recommended Practice for Smoke

Control Systems.), NFPA 5000 (Building Construction and Safety Code), IMC (International

Mechanical Code), and IFC (International Fire Code).

This detector requires a UL Listed compatible FACP as well as a separate power

supply (for 4-wire functionality) to operate properly. Refer to FACP documentation

to ensure compatiblity.

This detector is not intended for open area protection nor should it be used for

early warning detection or replace a regular fire detection system.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The SL-DA4R Series smoke detector is fitted with a mounting base that

will accept an ionization smoke detector head Apollo model 55000-550 or

photoelectric smoke detector head Apollo model 55000-650. The detector

provides a cover removal switch, which supervises the removal of the

detector cover.

This detector is equipped with a cover removal switch that

instantly provides a trouble condition at the FACP upon removal of

the clear cover. For all testing and inspection with the cover removed,

the cover removal switch (designated as SW1 on PCB) must be

manually depressed to simulate normal standby operation.

The SL-DA4R Series duct detector will operate from a compatible FACP supplied

voltage/protocol source (nominally, 17-28VDC). The control board is additionally

supplied with a separate 24VDC or 24VAC power source for 4-wire functionality.

SAMPLING TUBES

The operating principle of a duct detector is based on the Venturi effect. Two

tubes extend into the HVAC duct. Air flowing through the duct is forced into

the air intake (inlet) tube via the air intake holes, (facing the airflow) and passes

over the detector head. The air will be drawn out via the exhaust tube back into

the HVAC duct. (A 7” exhaust tube is provided in the installation kit.) When the

concentration of smoke particles suspended in the air stream reach the alarm

threshold of the detector head, the unit will go into alarm.

The duct smoke detector units are designed to operate in duct widths from 6”

to 10’ wide with an air velocity between 100 to 4,000 feet per minute. To verify

correct installation, the pressure differential between the sampling (high side) and

exhaust (low side) tubes should be measured using a Magnehelic pressure gauge

or equivalent. An acceptable reading is between 0.01 and 1.2 inches of water.

To minimize the impact of air turbulence and stratification on performance,

a duct smoke detector should be located as far as possible downstream

from any obstruction (i.e. deflector plates, elbows, dampers, etc.). In

all situations, confirmation of velocity and pressure differential within

specifications is required.

REMOTE ACCESSORIES

Remote alarm indicators and remote test switches may be accommodated

by the SL-DA4R Series duct units by connecting to DC voltage output

terminals as described on Page 3.

DUCT PREPARATION

Remove mounting template from the installation kit. Remove paper

backing from the mounting template and affix it to the duct at the

desired location. Using the template as a guide, drill (2) mounting

holes, 3/32” (2.5mm) for the #12 X ½” sheet metal screws packaged

in the installation kit. Drill or punch (2) 1¼” (32mm) holes for inlet

sampling and exhaust tubes, using the template as a guide. Clean all

holes.

LOCATION PREREQUISITES

This guideline contains general information on duct smoke detector

installation, but does not preclude the NFPA and/or ICC documents

listed. Air Products and Controls assumes no responsibility for improperly

installed duct detectors. To determine the correct installation position

for an SL-DA4R Series duct smoke detector, the following factors must

be considered.

1. A uniform non-turbulent (laminar) airow between 100 ft/min. to

4,000 ft/min. must be present in the HVAC duct.To determine duct

velocities, examine the engineering specications that dene the

expected velocities or use an Alnor model 6000AP velocity meter

(or equivalent).

2. To minimize the impact of air turbulence and stratication on

performance, a duct smoke detector should be located as far as

possible downstream from any obstruction (i.e. deector plates,

elbows, dampers, etc.). In all situations, conrmation of velocity and

pressure differential within specications is required.

The pressure differential between the input sampling (high pressure)

tube and exhaust (low pressure) tube for the SL-DA4R Series smoke

duct detector should be greater than 0.01 inches of water and less

than 1.2 inches of water.

3. Identify a code compliant location (supply or return side, or both)

for the installation of the duct unit that will permit easy access for

viewing and serviceability.

4. When installing on the return side, install duct units prior to the air

being exhausted from the building or diluted with outside“fresh” air.

5. When installing duct smoke units downstream of lters, res

occurring in the lters will be detected, but if the lters become

blocked, insufcient air ow through the duct unit will prevent the

correct operation of the duct detector. Duct units installed in the

supply air side may monitor upstream equipment and/or lters.

6. Where possible, install duct detectors upstream of air humidiers

and downstream of dehumidiers.

7. To prevent false alarms, the duct detector should not be mounted

in areas of extreme high or low temperatures, in areas where high

humidity exists, or in areas where the duct may contain gases or

excessive dust.

SAMPLING TUBE ASSEMBLY

The SL-DA4R Series duct smoke detectors employ a specially notched

sampling tube, which may be ordered separately in one of four standard

lengths or packaged as FAST Tubes.

STN-1.0 For duct widths of 6” TO 1.0’

STN-2.5 For duct widths of 1.0’ TO 3.0’

STN-5.0 For duct widths of 3.0’ TO 5.0’

STN-10.0 For duct widths of 5.0’ TO 10.0‘

FAST Tubes Sectional tubes for duct widths up to 8.0’

Standard sampling tubes are steel tubes with air intake holes drilled

the entire length of the tube. FAST Tubes are a recognized plastic with

an open slot along the length. These tubes can be cut to length and

must span at least 80% of the duct width (spanning the entire width is

suggested). Sampling tubes over 3.0’ must be supported on the opposite

side of the duct. To ensure the correct operation of the sensing tube,

the red end cap (red stopper in installation kit) must be inserted in the

end of the air intake sampling tube. For custom duct widths, always use

the next longest standard size and cut down to the exact requirement.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

“NO-TOOLS” TUBE INSTALLATION

The SL-DA4R Series duct smoke detector provides a unique, patented

mechanism for installation and/or removal of the sampling and exhaust

tubes from either the front or rear of the detector housing.

Once the airflow direction has been determined, insert the inlet and

exhaust tubes into the duct smoke detector. If the cover is in place, the

tubes may be inserted into the back of the detector via the key-slots

provided. Simply push the tube into place against the spring loaded

retainer, and turn into the correct position, allowing the key to “lock”

the tube in the desired orientation. For front side installation, simply

rotate the tube retainer until the tube may be inserted and oriented

properly. Once the tube is installed, rotate the retainer back into place

to lock down the tube. Ensure air intake sampling tube is positioned so

that the inlet holes (or Fast Tube slot) are directly facing the airflow.

MOUNTING

After securing the sampling and exhaust tubes to the duct smoke unit,

(or initially placing the tubes through the 1¼” holes drilled or punched

in the HVAC duct to accept the inlet sampling and exhaust tubes and

then attaching them to the duct unit), hold the duct unit assembly in

position and use (2) # 12 X ½” sheet metal screws (packaged in the

installation kit) to secure the duct smoke detector to the HVAC duct

sheet metal.

AIR SAMPLING VERIFICATION

To ensure correct operation of the duct unit use a Magnehelic

differential pressure gauge, Dwyer 2000 or 4000 Series (or equivalent)

to determine the differential pressure between the inlet (high side) and

exhaust (low side) tubes. The differential pressure between the two

tubes should be greater than 0.01 inches of water and less than 1.2

inches of water. This duct smoke detector is shipped with a velocity

adapter insert, either factory installed (SL-DA4R-P), or found in the

installation kit (SL-DA4R-N). When installed, this adapter will allow

the duct detector to operate at extremely low air velocities. To install

the adapter, simply insert it into the slots provided inside the detector

housing so that the adapter fits snugly over the smoke detector head.

For Ionization models only: Unless your system is consistently

operating in the slower velocity range (where the adapter is specifically

required), we recommend that the adapter not be inserted. If you

experience false alarms at higher velocities with the adapter in place, the

adapter should be removed.

switch (SW1) and the unit will be energized. The detector’s red alarm LED

will be flashing intermittently (as SLC is scanned by the FACP), and upon

releasing the cover removal switch, the detector’s red alarm LED will cease

flashing.

In the event of a fire alarm, certain equipment may be required to be shut

down. These functions may be accomplished via the FACP or with the alarm

relay contacts provided on the control board.

OPERATIONAL TESTING

To determine the correct operation of the SL-DA4R Series duct smoke

detector, ensure the UL Listed, compatible FACP is properly connected and

the red alarm LED is flashing in the normal standby mode.

Each SL-DA4R duct detector is supplied with an XPERT Card. In order

to determine the proper address, consult the addressing guide. Place a

screwdriver in the pips slit and give it a firm twist. Removal of the proper pips

completes the addressing procedure. Slide the coded XPERT Card into the

side of the base, making sure it locks into position. Once the detector head is

placed into the base, the remaining pips will operate the address-buttons on the

detector head and the address will be read by the head’s electronics.

Factory pre-programmed XPERT Cards which have the appropriate address

pips removed, and the address number silk screened on the protruding tab can

be purchased if desired.

The LED on the detector head of both the ionization and photoelectric models

will not flash while the unit is in standby mode. The LED on the smoke detector

head will be permanently illuminated when smoke is detected and the head is

in alarm. Note: When the detector head is in an alarm state, a complete reset

on the Fire Alarm Control Panel is needed to restore it to the standby mode.

With the air handling unit shut down, and the clear cover removed, press and

hold the cover removal switch on the SL-DA4R. The red alarm LED on the

detector head will be flashing and the FACP will be in the normal standby state.

The trouble operation may be tested by one of three methods:

1. Releasing the cover removal switch.

2. Depressing the cover removal switch after rotating the smoke detector

head counter-clockwise and removing the detector head.

3. Removal of control board operating power.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

These actions will cause a trouble condition at the FACP. By reversing

these conditions the unit will be operational. The trouble condition on the

FACP will be (or will be allowed to be) cleared.

The alarm functionality on the control board may be tested by either smoke

testing the detector head, operating the on-board test switch, or operating

a connected remote test switch.

FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Once operational testing is concluded the unit requires functional testing to

determine the correct operation of the detector head.

SMOKE TESTING: Using smoke test canister with testing nozzle (available

from Air Products and Controls Inc. part number TG-2000), insert the test gas

nozzle into the test port on the unit cover. Press can against cover to release

gas into the chamber.

CAUTION: DO NOT SPRAY GAS FOR MORE THAN ½

SECOND. OVERUSE OF TEST GAS FACILITY MAY RESULT IN

DETECTOR CONTAMINATION.

MISE EN GARDE: NE VAPORISEZ PAS DE GAZ POUR PLUS DE

½ SECONDE. SURUTILISATION DES GAZ DE TEST

INSTALLATION PEUT ENTRAÎNER LA CONTAMINATION DU

DÉTECTEUR.

After 15 to 20 seconds the detector head will go into alarm, illuminating

the detector head LED and causing an alarm condition at the FACP. If

attached, any alarm related remote accessories will also function.

If no test gas is available to conduct functional testing, remove cover and,

while holding down the cover removal switch, blow smoke from a cotton

wick or punk directly at the head to cause an alarm.The alarm indicator

should illuminate within one minute.

Should additional testing also be required for simulated re conditions,

smoke bombs placed in the duct may not be suited for the particular

detector head (photoelectric or ionization) selected and installed.

Consult the smoke bomb data for proper use and compatibility with

detector type.

The XP95A ionization detector head (55000-550) utilizes a radioactive

source as its means of detection and will detect smoke particles of

between .1 and 1 micron in size.

The XP95A photoelectric detector head (55000-650) operates on the

principle of light scatter and will detect smoke particles of between 1 and

10 microns in size.

When purchasing smoke bombs for additional required functional testing,

ensure smoke particle sizes comply with the criteria as described above.

Above: The LED will be permanently illuminated when the unit is in alarm.

MAINTENANCE

Each installation location must be assessed on its own merits. If the

protected area is of a very dirty nature then the SL-DA4R Duct unit(s) will

have to be checked and cleaned on a quarterly basis or when cleaning is

required.

As a guideline the smoke detector head should be cleaned every six

months or as required. The best methods of cleaning are to vacuum the

detector head thoroughly or to blow the detector head out using clean,

dry compressed air.

Do not use chemicals or non-conforming air to clean the detector head

housing as this could contaminate the detector head and damage the casing.

Sensing tubes must be inspected and cleaned in accordance with the

schedule as determined above, to allow the free flow of air through both

inlet and exhaust tubes.

Consult your local code and AHJ requirements for required maintenance

schedules.

XPERT CARD PROGRAMMING

Analog addressable Discovery and XP95A bases employ a unique, simple

mechanism for hardware addressing (Fig. 1 ). The XPERT Card provides

a series of seven removable pips, which when removed in proscribed

patterns, corresponding to binary system digits, and can represent numbers

1 through 126. Factory set and labeled XPERT Cards are available.

NOTE: No buttons removed (address 0) or multiple like addresses on an

SLC will cause an FACP Trouble/Fault condition.

NOTE: Remove the XPERT Card, select the desired address and remove

the pips indicated in black with a small screwdriver. Replace the XPERT

Card and twist the detector head into place to complete programming

(Fig. 2).
