e PAD300-CD is an intelligent addressable CO (Carbon
Monoxide) detector and PAD300-PCD is an intelligent addressable
detector with a photoelectric smoke sensor and a CO sensor. e
photo and CO sensors on the PAD300-PCD work independently and
generate a separate signal to the panel. e CO sensor utilized in both
models has a 10-year lifespan.
Each detector includes one (1) LED to indicate the device status.
e LED ashes momentarily in normal conditions and ashes
at a fast rate when activated. e LED can be turned o using the
programming soware.
e PAD300-PCD has a maximum spacing limitation of 30. Place
the detector as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. It may be
wall mounted within 12 inches from the ceiling. To minimize false
alarms, avoid placing in areas where excessive dust, humidity, air
movement, or extreme temperature is present. Refer to NFPA 72 for
more details regarding spacing, placement and special applications.
e PAD300-CD and PAD300-PCD communicate on a proprietary
protocol to the addressable re alarm control panel. Each detector
must be connected to either the IPA series, AFC series, or ARC re
alarm control panel for proper operation. For detector sensitivity
settings and supervision, please refer to the panel installation
instructions.

Installation must meet the requirements of the Authority Having Ju-
risdiction (AHJ). It is recommended to follow guidelines as described
in NFPA 72.
1. Before connecting a device to the SLC loop, take the following
precautions to prevent potential damage to the SLC or device.
• Use only the PAD300 series bases PAD300-4DB, PAD300-
6DB, PAD300-SB, PAD300-LFSB, PAD300-RB, and
PAD300-IB (supplied separately).
• Conrm the eld wiring to device is correctly installed on
the base. Refer to the base manual.
• Enable the locking feature if needed. Refer to section D for
details of the locking feature.
2. Set the desired address using the DIP switch located on back of
the sensor. See section E for addressing instructions.
3. Plug detector into base and turn clockwise to secure in place.
C. Installation
KEEP DUST COVER ON DETECTOR DURING
CONSTRUCTION. REMOVE DUST COVER TO ALLOW THE
DETECTOR TO DETECT SMOKE AND CO.
DETECTORS ARE NOT TO BE USED WITH DETECTOR GUARDS
UNLESS THE COMBINATION HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND
FOUND SUITABLE FOR THAT PURPOSE.
CAUTION
D. Locking Feature
e device includes a tamperproof feature that locks the detec-
tor and does not allow removal without the use of a tool.
Break o tab (gray area in
image). e locking feature
is enabled
Insert a small
screwdriver into slot
to remove detector.

Testing must meet the requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). It is recommended to follow guidelines as
described in NFPA 72.
It is important to test the product aer installation and periodically to
ensure it functions properly.
CO Aerosol Test
Use Solo C6 CO Aerosol with SDI Solo 330 Dispenser to verify the
CO sensor. Please contact local re and safety equipment distributors
for the specied product. Units failing the aerosol test should be
immediately serviced or replaced.
Smoke Aerosol Test
Use a canned aerosol to spray directly to the side of the detector.
SmokeCheck 25S from HSI Fire and Smoke Centurion from SDi are
acceptable. Please contact local re and safety equipment distributors
to see which products are available. Units failing the aerosol test
should be immediately cleaned. If cleaning cannot restore the unit to
normal, it should be replaced.
Magnet Test
e magnet test provides a quick test to verify the connections and
the detector electronically. is test should not replace the aerosol
test, which is required as part of regular test and maintenance per
NFPA 72.
1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown below.
2. e LED ashes rapidly to indicate the detector is in alarm.
3. Remove magnet.
4. Alarm on the re alarm panel should be reset.
5. If the unit fails the magnet test, test the unit with an aerosol
testing spray to conrm any failures.
F. Testing
NOTIFY APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY BEFORE
TESTING THE DETECTOR. PLACE FIRE PANEL IN WALK TEST
MODE BEFORE CONDUCTING THE FOLLOWING TEST. REFER
TO THE PANEL INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR DETAIL.
CAUTION

NOTE: Before cleaning, notify the proper authorities that the system
is undergoing maintenance. Disable the loop or system undergoing
maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms. It is recommended that
the smoke detector be removed from its mounting base for easier
cleaning and that the detector be cleaned at least once a year. Use a
vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the sensing chamber.
