Technical Manual: ST-PY-AS - 000026 (Changes are subject to DCRN)
The ST-PY-AS is elegantly designed, low profile fire
sensor which is aesthetically pleasing, thus enabling it to
blend unobtrusively into modern working environments.
Section 1 - INTRODUCTION
The ST-PY-AS is an attractively-styled, low profile photoelectric
sensor for use with Nittan ‘AS' protocol control panels.
ST-PY-AS features:
• Low profile, stylish appearance
• EEPROM Addressing (Handheld Programmer)
• Low monitoring current
• Supplied with protective dust cover
• Patented OMNIVIEWTM 360° LED fire alarm indicator
• Remote indicator output
• Compatible with UB-4 and STB-4SE bases
• Polarised terminals
• Optical sensor, detecting visible particles of combustion
Section 2 - SENSOR MODELS
The ST-PY-AS photoelectric sensor has two terminals for connection
onto the two wire loop. The remaining terminal provides a switched
current sink function which operates when the sensor goes into
alarm condition, suitable for the operation of an auxiliary function
such as a remote indicator. Terminal 3 (RIL) is limited to 2mA.
Section 3 - BASE MODELS
A variety of bases are available for use with the ST-PY-AS sensor. It is
important to use the correct base for each application. The available
base models are:
i) UB-4 base: for standard use with ST-PY-AS series sensor.
ii) STB-4SE base: Similar to UB-4 base, except deeper.

Section 4 - INSTALLATION
In normal use, the ST-PY-AS sensor will be installed at ceiling level.
Pass the field wiring through the cable hole in the centre and from
the rear of the base. Offer up and affix the base to the ceiling or
conduit fitting with screws via the base mounting holes. Connect
the field wiring to the base terminals, as detailed on page 8
making sure the wiring does not obstruct fitting of the sensor
head. Fit the sensor head by inserting it into the base and turning
clockwise until the notch in the sensor's rim aligns with base
locking screw. The OMNIVIEWTM 360° LED alarm indicator permits
visibility from any angle.
Note: The address must be set before the sensor is fitted into place.
Fit the plastic dust cover supplied over the sensor to keep out dust
etc, until the system is commissioned. If the dust cover is not fitted
and the environment is slightly dusty, such as when building work is
being completed, for example, problems of false alarms are likely to
occur after commissioning unless cleaning of the sensor is
undertaken. At commissioning, the dust cover should be removed
and discarded.
NOTE: THE PLASTIC DUST COVER MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE
SENSOR IN ORDER FOR THE SENSOR TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
Section 5 - MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
Maintenance
The ST-PY-AS sensor is a high quality product engineered for
reliability. If proper preventative maintenance is not carried out,
there is a likelihood of malfunction, including false alarms.
Servicing:
Servicing of the system should be carried out in accordance with
the requirements of BS5839 Part 1, Fire Detection and Alarm
Systems for Buildings: Code of Practice for System Design,
Installation and Servicing.

Technical Manual: ST-PY-AS - 000026 (Changes are subject to DCRN)
The maintenance procedures described below should be conducted
with the following frequency:
One month after installation: Routine Inspection and every 3
months after.
Every 6 months: Operational Test.
Every 12 months: Functional Test and Cleaning.
All above frequencies of maintenance are dependent on ambient
conditions.
Routine Inspection
i) Ensure the sensor head is secure and undamaged.
ii)Check the smoke entry apertures are in no way obstructed.
iii)Ensure that the surface of the sensor's outer cover is clean. If
there are deposits due to the presence of oil vapour, dust etc, then
the sensor should be cleaned in accordance with the cleaning
instructions detailed later in this manual. It may be advisable to
ensure that such cleaning is conducted regularly in future.
iv)Ensure that no equipment which may generate excessive heat has
been installed in the vicinity of the sensor since the last routine
inspection. If such equipment has been installed, then you should
notify the Fire Safety Officer or other competent authority that its
presence may cause false alarms.
v) Ensure no equipment which may generate combustion products or
fine airborne particles has been installed in the vicinity of the
sensor since the last routine inspection. If such equipment has been
installed, then you should notify the Fire Safety Officer or other
competent authority that its presence may cause false alarms.

Operational Test:
The purpose of the Operational Test is to confirm the sensor’s
correct operation in response to a smoke condition.
Take any necessary precautions at the control panel to limit the sounding
of the alarm sounders/bells and any fire service summoning device.
To test the optical sensor, introduce a discrete amount of smoke into
the detector head, e.g. using a 'No Climb - Solo' smoke test head.
Check that the sensor gives an alarm condition within 15 seconds.
Check the LED indicator on the ST-PY-AS sensor illuminates and any
remote indicator LED fitted also illuminates.
After the sensor has given the alarm condition, reset the sensor
from the control panel. It may be necessary to allow a short time to
elapse before resetting the sensor, to allow any residual smoke from
the test to disperse.
iv) Before proceeding to the next sensor, ensure that the sensor just
tested does not re-operate due to the presence of residual smoke.
Functional Tests:
The functional test checks the sensors operation. These detectors
may be returned to our factory for Functional Testing.
Cleaning
Note: The sensor head should NOT be disassembled.
i) Carefully remove the sensor from its base.
ii) Use a soft, lint-free cloth, moistened with alcohol, for sticky
deposits, to clean the plastic cover.
iii) Using a soft bristle brush (e.g. an artists paintbrush) carefully
brush between the vanes of the case in a linear motion away
from the apertures on the plastic case.
iv) Ensure that no debris is left on or around the case once cleaning
is complete.
v) If the unit needs further cleaning or is damaged or corroded,
please return the complete detector to Nittan (UK) Ltd. for service.

On a site where there is an unusually high level of potential electrical
interference, e.g. where heavy currents are being switched or where
high levels of R.F. are prevalent, care then must be taken in the type
and routing of cables. Particular care should be given to the
separation of zone wiring from the cable carrying the interference.
