FW562-A/B/C, FW562C-A/B/C TWO-WIRE DUCT DETECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The FW562-A/B/C and FW562C-A/B/C models are
ventilation duct detectors smart designed FOR USE
WITH MODEL FW511A DETECTOR HEADS. FW562-
A/B/C are UL-listed devices according to UL 268A,
and FW562C-A/B/C are ULC listed according to ULC-
S529 for fire protection systems. Equipped with a
photoelectric smoke detector, the units will signal
the presence of a dangerous amount of combustion
product in the ventilation system. They are
compatible with Maple Armor’s control panel model
FW106, FW106C, FW106S, FW106SC.
Note: These detectors are not designed to be used in
open areas.
ATTENTION
The products must be installed in accordance with
NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S524, and/or Canadian
Electrical Code depending on the country of
installation. Check information of equipment
used in the system by other manufacturers for any
guidelines or restrictions.
The detector should never be installed in the following
locations: areas with excessive exhaust fumes, kitchen
areas, near fireplaces, furnace rooms, etc. Smoke
detectors are not to be used with detector guards
unless the combination has been evaluated and found
suitable for that purpose.
NOTE
Do not paint this device.

Sampling tubes selection
Note: To fit different duct widths, 12, 18, 24, 36, 42
inches length sampling tubes are optional. If you
need a longer length, you can combine shorter
ones with the tube connector.

Pre-Installation
IMPORTANT: Technicians will have to be
certified by Maple Armor on the installation of
the Maple Armor duct detector before they
can verify & certify them.
Step 1
We recommend that the duct detector assembly be
installed 6 duct widths from any bends or inlets. This
is to maximize the sensor efficacy. There will be less
air turbulence and if smoke is present, the air and
smoke will be better mixed. See Figure 1
Figure 1
Step 2
The duct detector assembly must be installed on the
supply side of the air handling unit.
Step 3
Located assembly upstream of air humidifiers and
cooling coils.
Step 4
A duct detector can be mounted on a round duct
detector, as long as the diameter is 12 inches or
more.
Step 5
If possible try to install the duct detector in an
accessible location.
Step 6
If the duct detector is hidden in a ceiling, you will
need to install a remote indicating light in the ceiling
under the detector to show the location.
Step 7
It can be installed horizontally on a duct as
narrow as 6 inches and vertically on a duct as
wide as 16 inches.
Step 8
For more help on model FW562C you can consult
CAN/ULC-S524-06 section 5.8 & Figure 24 & 25;
for model FW562 you can consult NFPA 90A.
To install the duct detector:
1. Tape the template to the duct housing and drill
(or punch) the mounting holes at the desired
mounting location as indicated in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Mounting Hole Illustration
2. Slide the sampling tube into the duct detector
housing assembly. Note: The sampling tube
must be installed with the air inlet holes facing
the airflow, check duct housing surface for any
indication of airflow, or ask the HVAC installer.
3. Mount the duct smoke detector on the HVAC
duct and secure it using four sheet metal screws
provided.
If using 2 lengths of air sampling tube, drill a
1/2-inch hole on the opposite side of the duct
for the tube to pass through and cut the tube so
that approximately one inch of the tube extends
through the duct. Plug the third and fourth
holes using the rubber stopper provided, for
models FW562C-A and FW562-C.
Figure 3 sampling tube installation
The sampling tubes should be supported at both
ends of the duct as shown in figure 4.

4. Remove any rough edges from the holes.
5. Seal the opening around the tube with an
approved duct sealant.
6. Verify that all field wiring is free of opens, shorts,
and ground faults.
7. Make all wiring connections as shown in Figure
5.

8. Set the internal smoke detector address via the
handheld programmer FW412 or via panel
FW106. Refer to individual manuals for details.
Note: The duct FW562-A/B/C/ or FW562C-A/B/C
share the same address with the smoke
detector model FW511.
9. You must perform an air differential pressure
test by using an Air Velocity Meter ex: Dwyer
model 460 or Reed R3001 or equivalent. Wright
down the air pressure differential value, next
you must select the appropriate model that falls
in the specified operating range.
10. Duct detector assembly contains all 3 models in
a kit, the technician must set up the duct
detector per 1 of 3 figures. See below for proper
operation and certification.
11. The FW562-A/B/C can be configured in 3 ways.
For model, FW562-A see figure 6, for model
FW562-B see figure 7 and for model FW562-C
see figure 8; the FW562C-A/B/C can be
configured 3 ways also, for model FW562C-A see
figure 9, for model FW562C-B see figure 10 and
for the model, FW562C-C see figure 11.

12. To verify the air pressure differential
To verify air pressure differential, air must be moving
through the HVAC system.
Connect a suitable air pressure differential
meter model Reed R3001 or equivalent to the
sampling tube and exhaust tube openings as shown
in Figure 13.
Figure 13 Air Pressure measure
13. Verify that the air pressure differential
measured falls within the specified
operating range of the detector.
Model
Air pressure
FW562C-A
0.36 to 1.53 iwg (inches of water)
90 to 380 Pa (Pascals)
FW562C-B
0.04 to 0.4 iwg (inches of water)
9 to 100 Pa (Pascals)
FW562C-C
0.004 to 0.06 iwg (inches of water)
1 to 15 Pa (Pascals)
FW562-A
0.32 to 1.41 iwg (inches of water)
80 to 350 Pa (Pascals)
FW562-B

25 to 100 Pa (Pascals)
FW562-C
0.004 to 0.14 iwg (inches of water)
1 to 35 Pa (Pascals)
14. If the air pressure differential measured
does not fall within the specified operating
range of the detector, make sure the
sampling tube air holes are not obstructed
and are facing the HVAC system airflow.
15. After completing the installation of the duct
smoke detector, test the detector to ensure it is
operating correctly.
Main function
Models FW562-A/B/C and FW562C-A/B/C Duct
Smoke Detectors utilize photoelectric smoke
detectors for the detection of smoke. When
sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is
initiated.
Test function
⚫Alarm simulation: Pressing the TEST SW can
simulate an alarm condition.
⚫Cover tightness monitor: When the JUMPER
switch is on the NORMAL side, a trouble event
will be annunciated when the cover is not
secured properly. When the JUMPER switch is
on the TEST side, this feature will be bypassed.
Note the TEST mode should only be used in
installation and field testing.
To clean the duct smoke detector
1. Disable the detector/zone to prevent false
alarms.
2. Remove the detector’s cover then power down
the detector by disconnecting the SLC wiring.
3. Using a vacuum cleaner, or clean compressed air,
with a soft bristle brush, remove loose dirt and
debris from inside the detector housing and
cover.
4. Remove dirt and other contaminants from the
gasket on the detector’s cover using isopropyl
alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
5. Squeeze the retainer clips on both sides of the
optic housing then lift the housing away from
the printed circuit board.
6. Gently remove dirt and debris from around the
optic plate and inside the optic housing.
7. Replace the optic housing and detector cover,
and then connect the SLC wiring.
Return the product for reparation if it fails to flash or
alarm during testing. Do not disassemble the
product without permission.
