Function
The KRM duct smoke detector is designed for smoke detection
in ventilation ducts. It constitutes a combination of a smoke
detector with an adapter system, whose measuring tube and
housing have been specially adapted for optimal air ow through
the smoke detector.
The multi-chamber measuring tube in the air duct transports the
air within the air duct along the entire length of the tube, through
the sensing chamber and back into the air duct. Upon detection
of smoke, the sensor reacts immediately and triggers an alarm.
Over time, the sensor becomes contaminated. Because of alarm
threshold tracking, the sensitivity up to total pollution remains
the same. From 70 % contamination upwards, the sensor is trig-
gered and indicates this by ashing. If the sensor is not replaced
the smoke alarm is triggered at 99 % contamination.
The contamination level is indicated in a two-line LED display; at
> 70 % it ashes.
To verify operability, the device is equipped with electronic air
ow monitoring, which lights a blue LED at < 1 m/s. The failure
LED illuminates when the smoke sensor or the electronics are
defective, in the absence of a smoke sensor, and with short-
circuits or cable breakage.
The smoke alarm must be released with the reset button.
A functionality test is also possible with the same button.
The operation functions like a smoke alarm.
Furthermore, the same function takes place on restart or when
the bridge circuit between terminals 9 and 10 is opened (remote
release).

Programming the Bus address for the KRM-2-Mod:
Press buttons T3+T4 on the circuit board (to the right, next to the
display) at the same time, so that the display changes from con-
tamination level to show the bus address (the display will ash).
Press button T3 or T4 to adjust the desired address (1-99). The last
set bus address is automatically saved. The display resets automa-
tically after 3 seconds or by simultaneously pressing T3+T4.

Duct Smoke Sensor KRM
Installation and positioning
1.
We recommend that the duct smoke detector be installed at the
same distance to heating, cooling and humidity equipment and
be mounted similarly to ow sensors. The distance of the smoke
sensor to ttings, valves, lters, etc., should be 3 times the diago-
nal length of the cross-section of the duct when going against
the air ow, and 5 times the diagonal length with the ow.
2.
Drill a hole of 43-44 mm in diameter at the intended mounting
location.
Note: Installation of the TurboTube measuring tube is possible
either from the top, bottom or side of the channel for all duct
cross-sections (for round ducts as well).
3.
• Determine how long the measuring tube must be.
The TurboTube measuring tube must be inserted into the
duct at least to the middle of the duct‘s cross-section.
• If necessary, shorten the tube. Minimum length 160 mm.
• Deburr the cutting face and put the end plug back on up
to the stop collar.
Installation Instructions
Install the detector where ow meters, etc. are normally xed,
so that the air ow can run in a laminar manner with the measu-
ring tube. Follow the installation instructions. All work must be
carried out by suciently qualied craftsman.
Current local rules and regulations (e.g. building regulations,
elecrical/VDE guidelines, etc.) are to be observed. Installers
and operators are required to be adequately informed before
operation. We assume no liability for misprints and changes
after printing. Compliance with operating and installation
instructions is also included within the regulations of intended
use. We assume no liability for damages caused by improper
use. Operating licenses and guarantees and all warranty claims
will be voided in the event of unauthorized modications or any
tampering with the device.
Maintenance
Targeted maintenance can be carried out since the smoke
detector is equipped with a contamination indicator. From a
70 % contamination level or higher the smoke sensor must
be changed. There is a contact available for this signal, and it
should be connected to the automation station.
Accessories
Splash-proof housing (type
WDG) for outdoor installation
to prevent condensation. The
housing is lined with insula-
ting foam.
Mounting bracket
Type KS is required if the duct smoke sensor must be moun-
ted on round air ducts. The
bracket can also be used with
insulated rectangular ducts.
For this the adapter is moun-
ted with the air measuring
tube before insulation.
Min. 160 mm Attention:
Operation without
end plug not
permitted.

4.
• Determine the direction of ow and t the adapter plate
so that the line on the adapter plate under the text
„Strömungsrichtung“ is parallel to the ow direction.
• Four self-tapping screws serve for attaching it to the sheet
metal duct (not included in delivery).
5. Installation on a rectangular air duct
6. Installation on a circular air duct
• For mounting on a circular air duct use mounting bracket
type KS and the rubber bushing. Thanks to the bend perfo-
rations they can be adapted to a round duct.
7. Installation on air ducts with insulation
• Use the rubber bushing and insert it into the Ø 43-44mm
opening in the air duct.
• Install the mounting bracket.
• Insert the assembled adapter plate into the measuring tube
by sliding the measuring tube through the grommet, and
screw the adapter plate onto the mounting bracket using the
4 self-tapping screws. Then the insulation can be installed.
8. Installation outdoors or in a cold environment
• As protection for smoke detectors, which are exposed to the
open air or in a cold environment, there is a special WDG type
housing. This enclosure prevents the warm air in the smoke
detector duct from condensing.

9. Installing the housing with the sensor
• Attach the housing bottom part with the electronics and sensor
to the adapter plate. The housing can be attached at incre-
ments of 90 °. The direction of the housing has no eect on the
measurement result. You can align the housing with the sensor
optimally.
• Check that the seals in the housing upper part are correctly
positioned.
• By snapping on and tightening the upper housing and then
rmly pressing down on the arrow marked on the central cable
area (to ensure that the catch at the lower end of the housing
snaps in correctly) the mounting is complete.
10. Testing the duct smoke sensor
• After completing the installation work, doing proper wiring
and applying power, the duct smoke sensor is operational.
• The green LED (12) illuminates.
• By pressing the alarm/reset button (9), an initial simple
functional test can be made. All LEDs must light up and all the
relays drop out. The units connected to the relays are activa-
ted! The display (11) indicates the current degree of sensor
contamination. If the button is released, all LEDs will go out
except for LED (12) which shows the supply voltage, and the
relays activate.
• For testing the smoke sensor the housing must not be
opened. It has a self-closing test opening (14) in the center of
the transparent cover. Use Oppermann test gas spray. Insert
the test spray‘s tube fully into the test opening (appx.1.5mm
deep) and release as much test gas as needed until the smoke
sensor activates. The alarm/reset button lights up, the relays
drop out. The electronics are on alert and locked. To release,
the alarm/reset button must be pressed. At the time of the
reset, the sensor must be free of smoke and test gas. Should
there still be test gas in the chamber a higher degree of con-
tamination will appear. In this case, after some time perform
a reset by disconnecting from the power or by an external
reset.
11. Final review
• Are all screws tight?
• Is the adapter plate properly mounted for the ow direction?
• Are all seals in the correct position?
• In operation, when air ow > 1 m/s the blue LED may not
light up.
