by Honeywell

Siting
A S-Quad device plugs into a dedicated Base that is installed in
the protected premises. The Bases should be sited in locations
as defined by the project plans and by BS5839 : Part 1 : 2002.
Do's and Don't
&
DO NOT locate smoke detectors where products of
combustion may be present such as in kitchens,
garages, furnace rooms, welding shops etc.
DO NOT locate heat detectors above boilers or
heaters or where the temperature is normally very
high or liable to sudden fluctuations.
DO NOT locate smoke or heat detectors: -
• In dusty or dirty environment
• Near heating or air-conditioning grilles
• Outdoors in stables, sheds etc
• In excessively damp areas
• In dead air spaces at the junctions of
ceilings and walls
• At ceiling locations where a ‘thermal
barrier' may exist.
DO NOT locate a CO detector: -
• In buildings where farm animals are kept
• In excessive damp areas
• In battery room where non sealed battery
are kept
• In a Car park where exhaust fumes will
be present.
Follow recommendations detailed in section 22 of
BS5839 : Part 1 : 2002
Metal back box
A metal back box must be used for base or semi-flush mounting.
The earth continuity must be maintained throughout the whole
loop circuit. The earth must be securely connected to the back
box.
In - Out wiring to S-Quad bases
Programmable input/output
&The 34703 Slave Relay unit and 34703
Slave LED indicator unit are NOT supported for use
with S-Quad fire sensors. The Slave units are only
compatible with 34xxx range of fire sensors.
All S-Quad devices can be configured as either monitored input
or unmonitored output. The factory setting of the programmable
'input / output' is for an unmonitored output to drive an external
repeat LED without a series resistor.
There is a maximum cable length limit of 15 metres from the
S-Quad base to the external I/O Unit.
The input can accept signals such as fire, non fire or fault, these
are configured during commissioning. As a fire input it is possible
to connect a conventional Manual Call Point (non UK application
only) with a series resistor of value 470 Ohms coupled with an
end-of-line 10Kohms resistor. In this case the fire input is fully
monitored for open or short circuit faults.
The input can be setup as a non-fire or fault input using a similar
arrangement with series and parallel resistors as shown. It is
possible for such an input to trigger a command that is
configured to action an output elsewhere in the system to control
plant equipment such as the ventilation system.

Monitoring
Under normal conditions the S-Quads are monitored regularly
and the data is used to create a background performance record.
When there is a potential event, the S-Quad device will flag the
control panel for attention. The control panel will take further
readings from the device and compare all the measurements
with patterns and rules to determine if it is a fire event.
Device functionality
All S-Quads are monitored periodically to check if they are
working correctly, an indication of a fault is given if there is a
failure. For example the infrared signals through the optical
chamber are regularly checked, the thermistor is checked and
the CO cell circuit is monitored for failure. The speech, strobe
and sounder circuits are monitored for failure.
Heat sensor (H)
The heat sensing is provided by a thermistor. The temperature at
which the device goes into fire is defined by the configuration
settings in the control panel. The control panel also calculates
any rate of rise elements required in the fire decision.
Optical sensors
Dual Optical Sensor
The optical sensing is performed by the dual angle optical
chamber, which has two transmitting LED1 and LED2, plus an
infrared receiver. Normally measurements are taken at regular
intervals at both angles of the chamber. The panel uses both
readings to form a ratio. The ratio is used to compensate the
optical sensor, producing a very flat response to different fire
types. There are distinct bands of ratios that define the presence
of types of smoke, dust or steam. The dual optical sensor is
therefore able to discriminate between certain aerosol in the
environment. Additionally to stop the sensor saturating with large
false alarm signals the sensor incorporates an extended dynamic
range. The sensor is therefore suitable for use in wider
applications where steam and dust particles may occasionally be
present.
Single Optical Sensor
The optical sensing is performed in the optical chamber using
transmitting LED 1 and an infrared receiver. Measurements are
taken at regular intervals. The control panel use these readings
to detect the presence of smoke.
Carbon Monoxide gas sensor (CO)
The Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensing is provided by a CO cell.
The CO cell will sense carbon monoxide gas that is generated
from carbon based smouldering fires. The CO sensor is resilient
to particles of dust, steam and insects. The CO gas sensing
element is used with the heat and smoke sensors to give a
capability of detecting a very wide range of fire types.
The CO is always used with the heat and optical sensor to give a
capability of detecting all EN54 : Part 7 fire tests.
"The CO cell has a life expectancy of 5 years,
after this period the sensor should be replaced.
Sounder (S)
The sounder function in a S-Quad is designed to meet the
requirement of EN54 : Part 3. The EN54 : Part 3 average output
from the sounder is 85dBA at 1m or 75dBA at 3m at a bedhead,
making it suitable for installation in hotel bedrooms. The sounder
can operate a turbo mode if configured during commissioning to
provide further 3dB output. The sound outputs are based on the
settings of the FABs and SABs at the panel that gives changing
levels over 2 seconds duration in 8 time slots. The standard
outputs are synchronised with the 34000 sounders and S3
devices installed in the same system.
A piezo disk within the S-Quad assembly outputs the sound via a
horn, which is constructed in the chamber moulding. The volume
of the sound output can be individually set at the device, note
that the sound level should not be set lower than 65dBA at 1m
for standards compliance. The system prevents adjustment of
volume down to zero. Another feature that can be configured is
the soft start that ramps the sound volume gradually to the
maximum level set at the device.
The S-Quad will have a white baffle to identify it as having
Sound functionality.
"The Sound Pressure Level at 90°will far
exceed the more useful average Sound Pressure Level
quoted.

Speech (Sp)
The S-Quad Speech function is provided by stored messages on
a flash memory chip within the assembly. The standard flash
memory can hold up to 60 seconds of audio and additionally it
holds local complex attention tones, such as the bell and DIN
signals. Each signal output from an S-Quad Speech device
consists of an attention tone followed by a message. The
attention tone can be a local complex tone or a panel tone, such
as the standard 'nee naw' sound.
There are four default messages in English plus a bell tone.
However your system may carry special messages.
System default:
Message 1 Bell tone
Message 2 Attention please this is an
emergency please leave the
building by the nearest
available exit. (female voice)

action is required. (female
voice)
Signal 0
Message 5 This is a fire alarm please
leave the building
immediately by the nearest
available exit. (male voice)
Signal 2
Strobe (St)
The Strobe utilises a high-power red LED that receives its power
from a super capacitor in the S-Quad assembly. The high light
output from the LED is made possible by the low impedance of
the capacitor. When compared with the conventional Xenon
flasher the S-Quad strobe outputs a lower level of light over
longer duration to achieve the same intensity. The strobe is
designed for installation on a ceiling and provides a wide viewing
angle to allow the light to be seen all around. As factory set the
strobe provides a pulsed output every 2s with signal 1, 1 second
with signal 2 and 1 second with signal 3, however the operation
of the strobe with the signals 1, 2 and 3 can be changed at the
commissioning stage. The strobe is synchronised with S-Cube
strobe installed in the same system.
The Disability Act 1995 recommends visual alarms, like S-Cube
and S-Quad, are installed in protected premises to warn
occupants who are hard of hearing.
A metal back box must be used for semi-flush mounting. The
earth continuity must be maintained throughout the whole loop.
The earth must be securely connected to the metal back box.

How to check S-Quad Exception codes
The Exception codes are also sometimes called condition codes and these codes provide information abouta sensor device. A code
indicates small changes in the:
¨environmental condition
¨sensor mechanism and
¨how the sensor performs in the system.
"To ensure that the sensor exception codes are meaningful, after power up the system should be left
undisturbed for at least 24 hours.
Definition
There are ten different conditions possible for each sensor type, although not all of them are defined. Each condition code hasa
range of 0-3,
Exception/
Condition Code
Meaning
0 This condition is OK. This code is not displayed unless another non zero code exists.
1 or 2 Suggest preventive maintenance is required, where necessary, to avoid possible false alarms.
3 The sensor is faulty. A fault condition indication is given at the control panel. A message
reading ‘Sensor Out of Specification’ is displayed.
"A sensor having code 3 is automatically disabled by the system to prevent false alarms.
To view the exceptions/condition codes of a device/outstation:
a. Press Menu On/Off button
b. Select [Info] and press <etc> to select [Event]
c. Press <etc> and select [Exception] and then select [Enter].

Meaning Action
1000000000or
0100000000or
1100000000
This is the sub-fire band and if set should be
taken as showing that the sensor is at its optimum
sensitivity for its location.
No action need be taken.
2000000000or
0200000000or
2200000000
A sub-fire has been generated which would
suggest that the sensor was either too sensitive
for its environment or that the sensor type may
be incorrect for the location.
Action should be to check location and
alter sensor state or type as required.
The customer should be made fully
aware of this change. Remember to
backup all changes of states onto the
NVM.
0010000000or
0020000000
These codes indicate that the sensor is in a windy
location. This will cause the chamber voltage to
drop. Code Level 1 shows one drop only, Level 2
shows greater than one drop.
The location should be checked and a
change in siting made, if required.
Note: Wind will not cause the sensor to
false alarm.
0000100000or
0000200000or
0000010000or
0000020000
This shows that the sensor time averages are
close to acceptable limits.
On commissioning the sensor should
be replaced. A sensor with code 2 is
worse than code 1. On maintenance
sensors with code 2 should be
replaced.
0000001000or
0000002000or
0000000100or
0000000200
This shows that high frequency noise events
have been detected by the system. A code 1
shows one event and a code 2 shows more than
one event.
The sensor should be replaced. On
maintenance, sensor with code 2
should be replaced. If it reoccurs then
check the environment.
0000000010or
0000000020
This shows sensor hardware faults. 1 for code 1
and more than one for a code 2.
The sensor should be replaced.
0000000001or
0000000002
This shows that transmission faults are being
noted. Code 2 is worse than code 1.
The sensor should be replaced. If it
reoccurs then check the environment.
How to clear Exception codes
This can be done by removal and replacement of the sensor chamber, by re-allocation of the loop having the sensor or
by using the menu controls.
a. Press Menu On/Off button.

Loop loading
The 'Battery Standby Calculator' tool is avilable via Gentexpert
website. The tool must be used to accurately determine the loop
loading and to ensure the devices installed on each loop are
within the maximum allowed and will meet the control panel's
standby requirement.
Turbo and Non Turbo
Modes
The S-Quads can output in turbo and/or in non turbo modes.
When the panel commands a low or high tone output at
S-Quads, if configured during commissioning, the S-Quad will
output turbo and/or non turbo tones. The high and low FAB
mappings are used to change the tone output of the S-Quad
sounder. The turbo mode outputs a waveform with a basic
frequency that is the same frequency as the resonant frequency
of the S-Quad piezo. The non turbo mode outputs modulated
turbo waveform.

¨Ensure all sensor dust covers are removed.
¨Tests may be made easier by having: sensor
extractor tool, smoke pole and canister, heat gun.
&Health and safety must be observed when
using these test tools.
Communication to site occupants
¨Before undertaking any of these tests and to
prevent unnecessary building evacuation,
ensure:
•all affected personal on site are informed via a
responsible person that the fire alarm system
is being commissioned.
•where there is a link to an alarm receiving
centre, the appropriate action should be taken
to ensure they are informed that tests are
being carried out on the system.
Commissioning computer
It is much easier for the panel and system to be configured from
a Commissioning computer, see Programming tool manual.

Test

Testing Fire Sensors
"It is important to ensure that the panel is in
Test mode before testing sensors in the system. This is
particularly important when testing S-Quad sensors
having dual optical sensing, as they are designed to
minimise false alarms caused by dust and steam. The
'artificial smoke' particles from smoke canister look more
like steam. When the panel is in Test / Commissioning
mode all the dual optical S-Quad sensors in the system
are treated as single channel optical sensors. A single
channel optical sensor overrides the false alarm immunity
of dual optical sensor and permit the testing of the
S-Quad sensors by using canned smoke.
&
1. When testing heat sensors DO NOT use a heat
gun to test heat sensors in a hazardous
environment.
2. Recommended test equipment and methods must
be used to fire test flame detectors off interface
units.
4. When smoke testing fire sensors using artificial
smoke, avoid excessive spray to prevent
accumulation of sticky residue on sensor, see
instructions on the smoke canister.
5. The beam sensors should be tested using
obscuration filters to simulate smoke at default
sensitivity.
The BS5839:Part 1 recommends that all sensors are tested for
correct operation.
¨Unless otherwise instructed all sensors should be
tested.
¨Each sensor should also be checked for any
physical obstacles that would inhibit the operation
of the sensor in the event of a fire.
¨Where practical, each conventional flame detector
operating via an interface unit should be
functionally tested.
Testing the S-Quad devices
¨The sensor(s) part of the S-Quad must be system
tested as per previous section.
¨For the Sound and Speech part of the S-Quad
ensure each device outputs the correct signal at
the appropriate volume level and ensure the
strobe operate at the required flash rate. All
S-Quad devices in the system should have been
setup using the commissioning tool.
¨Each S-Quad should be tested for correct
operation in the event of fire.
¨The sound levels in the areas should be tested in
accordance with the British Standard
requirements and to meet the site specific needs
as agreed with the customer.
