ELECTROSTATIC HAZARD: This is sensitive electronic equipment. Apply
safe ant-static practices when handling this equipment.
CIRCUIT LIMITATIONS: The maximum number of detectors connected to
a single detection zone is limited by the control and indicating equipment,
and may be limited by local regulations.
Introduction
SNC-300 non-addressable photoelectric smoke/heat detectors are
state-of-the-art detectors suitable for connection to 2-wire or 4-
wire non-addressable fire detection control and indicating
equipment, or to addressable fire detection control and indicating
equipment that can accept non-addressable type detectors
1
.
These instructions provide trained installation personnel with
details to install and commission SNC-300 smoke/heat detectors
for optimum performance.
Preparation
Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment (base and
detector) and tools to mount and connect the equipment are
available, such as drills, mounting screws, cables and ladders.
SNC-300 smoke/heat detectors can be installed with the following
bases and accessories.

Installation
Base
The base can be mounted directly onto an electrical junction box
such as an octagonal (75 mm, 90 mm or 100 mm), a round
(75 mm), or a square (100 mm) box without using any type of
mechanical adapter.
1. Feed the conductors through the middle of the base for
termination to the base contacts.
2. Mount the base on the junction box or directly onto a flat
surface.
3. Mount the base to the surface using fixing screws that are
suitable to securely fix the base to the surface.
Wiring
Base terminals accept (0.4 ~ 2.5) mm
2
conductors.
1. Strip the conductor insulation to expose 5 mm of the
conductor.
2. Connect the conductors to the base terminals.
a. See Fig. 1 for detectors using 2-wire bases.
b. See Fig. 2 for detectors using 4-wire bases.
WARNING: Take care to ensure the insulation does not get
clamped by the terminal contact.

May be used with the 620-001 detector monitor module.

Note 1: 9-terminal base required if a remote indicator is installed.
Note 2: If a remote indicator is not installed, the polarity of the zone circuit
wiring may be reversed.
WARNING: Do not short-circuit terminals 2 and 5.

WARNING: Do not short-circuit terminals 2 and 5.
3. After all the bases are installed and wired, fit the end-of-line
resistor.
Note: The value of the end-of-line resistor depends on the control and
indicating equipment to which the detectors are installed.
4. Check the wiring for continuity, short circuits and earth faults.
Output Relay (where fitted)
The output relay is factory-adjusted with normally-open contacts
that close on alarm. No setting adjustment is required.
Detector
WARNING: Do not install the detector head until the area is
thoroughly cleaned of construction debris, dust, etc.
1. Align the detector alignment mark with the short alignment
mark in the base, as shown in Fig. 3.
2. Mate the detector head onto the base and rotate it clockwise
to secure it. The long alignment marks should be aligned.

Commissioning
Smoke Detector
1. Ensure all the alarm signal services, releasing devices and
extinguisher systems are disabled during the commissioning
period.
2. Connect power to the detector for approximately 1 min and
check that the red alarm LED indicators flash once every 3 s.
If the LED fails to flash, it indicates the detector is not
operating. Check the wiring for the correct voltage and earth
leakage. Replace the detector if necessary.
3. Allow smoke from a cotton wick or a test smoke aerosol to
enter the detector-sensing chamber for at least 10 s. When
sufficient smoke has entered the chamber, the detector will
signal an alarm, by continuous illumination of the LED.
4. Upon alarm, immediately remove the smoke source.
5. Reset the detector from the control and indicating equipment.
6. Check that the detector LEDs are off and the control and
indicating returns to the quiescent condition.
Heat Detector
1. Subject the detector to a flow of warm air at a temperature of
between 65 ˚C and 80 ˚C as follows (this requirement can be
met by some domestic hair dryers).
a. Start the warm airflow and check that temperature is
correct and stable.
b. From a distance of approximately 5 cm, direct the
airflow at the guard protecting the thermistor for up to
30 s. The detector will signal an alarm by continuous
illumination of the LEDs.
c. Upon alarm, immediately remove the heat source.
2. Reset the detector from the control and indicating equipment.
3. Check that the detector LEDs are off and the control and
indicating returns to the quiescent condition.
Remote Indicator (where fitted)
Check that the indicator illuminates at the same time as the
detector LEDs.
Output Relay (where fitted)
1. Follow Heat Detector procedure step 1.
2. Monitor the output relay for activation.
3. Reset the detector from the control and indicating equipment.
4. Monitor the output relay for reset to its quiescent setting.
Auto-Reset (where fitted)
1. Follow Heat Detector procedure step 1.
2. Monitor that the detector automatically resets.
The auto-reset will typically reset the detector within 30 s of the
removal of the heat source.
Final Conditions
Ensure all the alarm signal services, releasing devices and
extinguisher systems disabled for the commissioning are returned
to their previous condition.
