Description
The Gamewell BD-SS and BDT-SS
are intelligent, addressable pro-
jected beam smoke detectors with
SmartScan™ protocol. They are
uniquely suited for protecting open
areas with high and sloping ceilings,
and wide-open areas, where spot-
type smoke detectors are difficult to
install and maintain. Ideal applica-
tions are atriums, cathedral ceil-
ings, aircraft hangers, warehouses,
sporting arenas, concert halls, and
enclosed parking facilities. Installa-
tion of the single-ended reflective
design is much quicker than a dual-
ended projected beam detector.
Alignment is easily accomplished
with an optical sight and a two-digit
signal strength meter incorporated
into the beam detector. Listed for operation from –22°F to 131°F, the BD-SS
and BDT-SS are usable in open area applications where temperature
extremes exceed the design limits of other types of smoke detection.
The BD-SS and BDT-SS are a transmitter/receiver unit and a reflector.
When smoke enters the area between the unit and the reflector it causes a
reduction in the signal strength. When the smoke level (signal strength)
reaches the predetermined threshold, an alarm is activated. The detectors
have four standard sensitivity selections as well as two Acclimate™ set-
tings. When either Acclimate™ setting is selected, the detector’s advanced
software algorithms automatically adjust to the optimum sensitivity for the
specific environment. The protection range is 16 to 328 feet and there are
built-in isolators for Style 7 operation.
The BDT-SS has an integral sensitivity test feature of a filter attached to a
servomotor inside the detector optics. Activation of the RTS451 remote test
station moves the filter into the pathway of the light beam, testing the
detector’s sensitivity. This sensitivity test feature allows the user to quickly
and easily meet the annual maintenance and test requirements of NFPA
72, without physical access to the detector.
Sensitivity Selection
The detector has six sensitivity selections. Each of these selections is only
acceptable over a specific distance separation between the detector and the
reflector per UL 268. The chart below determines which selections are
acceptable for your installed distance. The sensitivity of the detector can be
set only when the housing is removed and the detector is not in the fine
adjustment step of the alignment mode, indicated by the illumination of the
dual digital display. To set the sensitivity, depress the sensitivity button
one time. See Switch Locations diagram. Once the switch is pressed, the

digital display will illuminate and read the current sensitivity setting in
percent obscuration. To change the sensitivity, continue to depress the
sensitivity switch until the desired setting is achieved. The digital display
will turn off automatically if no further switch presses occur.
In addition to the four standard sensitivity selections, the detector has two
Acclimate™ settings. When either Acclimate™ setting is chosen, the detec-
tor will automatically adjust its sensitivity using advanced software algo-
rithms to select the optimum sensitivity for the environment. The sensitiv-
ity will be continuously adjusted within the ranges specified in the chart
above.
Total obscuration can be converted to percent per foot, assuming uniform
smoke density for the entire length of the beam. The chart below converts
total obscuration percent per foot for all acceptable sensitivity settings.

Smoke detector spacing
On smooth ceilings, 30 – 60 feet (9.1 to
18.3 m) between projected beams and
not more than one-half that spacing
between a projected beam and a sidewall.
Other spacing may be used depending on
ceiling height, airflow characteristics, and
response requirements. See NFPA 72.
