Smoke Detector Thermal Detector
These instructions are written in accordance with the
installation guidelines of NFPA No. 72, National Fire Alarm
Code, and CAN/ULC-S524, The Installation of Fire Alarm
Systems.
DETECTOR PLACEMENT
For a clear air, 0 to 4000 ft/min velocity application, use 30
foot center spacing (900 sq ft) from NFPA Standard 72
initiating devices chapter and CAN/ULC-S524 as a starting
point for a detector installation layout. This spacing, however,
is based on ideal conditions – smooth ceiling, no air
movement, and no physical obstructions. In some
applications, considerably less area is protected adequately
by each smoke detector. In all installations, place the
detector on the ceiling, a minimum of 6 inches from a side
wall, or on a wall, 6 inches from the ceiling.
Follow the drawings provided or approved by Siemens
Industry, Inc. or by its authorized distributors. See NFPA 72,
National Fire Alarm Code, initiating devices chapter for
additional guidance on special issues such as beamed
construction and high stockpiling.
TO AVOID NUISANCE ALARMS:
DO NOT locate the OP121/OH121 detector where
excessive smoke concentrations exist under normal
conditions, or in areas of prolonged high relative humidity
where condensation occurs.
DO NOT locate the OP121/OH121 detector next to an oil
burner, kitchen, or garage where exhaust fumes can trigger
an alarm. Other causes of false alarms are dust
accumulation, heavy concentrations of steam, heavy pipe
or cigar smoke, and certain aerosol sprays.
AIR CURRENTS
Before a detector can sense a fire, the products of com-
bustion or smoke must travel from the fire to the detector.
Since their travel is especially influenced by air currents,
consider the movement of air in the design of the system.
While combustion products tend to rise, drafts from hallways,
air diffusers, fans, etc., may help or hinder the travel of
combustion products to the detector. When positioning a
detector at a particular location, give consideration to
windows and doors, both open and closed, and to influencing
air movement. Never install a detector in the air stream of a
room air supply diffuser. It is better to position a detector
closer to an air return.

(after 3 minutes) when the green LED is a single blink every 10

and utilizes less concentration of test gas or aerosol.
Detector and control panel functionality can also be tested
using the TM121 test magnet as shown in Figure 4 for the
OP121 detector and Figure 6 for the OH121 detector. Place the
magnet in the specific area at the bottom of the detector that is
shown in Figure 5 for the OP121 detector and Figure 7 for the
OH121 detector for at least 5 seconds with the colored side
towards the centered LED. The detector will send an alarm to
the panel.
WARNING: Testing with the magnet only tests the circuit; it
does not test the detector’s sensing ability.
WARNING: The TM 121 test magnet is a strong magnet that
can be harmful to pacemaker wearers and to those with
medical implants. Keep the magnet away from magnetic
media such as credit cards and memory disks/chips.

INSTALLATION / REMOVAL OF DETECTOR
TO INSTALL:
·Rotate detector counterclockwise while gently pressing
on it until the detector drops fully into base.
·Then rotate the detector clockwise until it stops
and locks
in place. Insert optional locking screw (
Order Model
LK-11).
TO REMOVE:
·Loosen locking screw, if installed. Then rotate the
detector counter clockwise until stop is reached.
·Pull detector out of base.
LED INDICATOR OPERATION
The OP121/OH121 contains an LED indicator capable of
flashing either one
of three distinct colors: green, yellow, or
red. The microprocessor based detector monitors the
following:
·Smoke in its sensing chamber
·Smoke sensitivity is within the range indicated on the
nameplate label (sensitivity verification)
·Internal sensors and electronics
Based on the results of these checks, the LED indicator
flashes as follows:

Red Alarm 2½
No

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
To assure proper operation of the detector and control panel,
it
is required that both the Sensitivity test and the Functional
test
be conducted using the procedures outlined below.
SENSITIVITY TEST
The OP121/OH121 monitors its smoke sensitivity
automatically and requires no test equipment. A green flash
of
the detector LED about every 10 seconds indicates that the
smoke sensitivity is within its listed limits.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
To test the detector and control panel for functional operation,
use SIEMENS Test Gas, P/N 500-649750. Follow t
he
instructions on the gas canister label.
Smoke entry test mode: To test the detector for smoke entry,
place the detector into a test mode. The test mode condition
is
automatically started after the initial power up and after
every
reset for a period of 3 minutes. It is recommended that
a
control panel reset be performed after every smoke entry
test
is conducted to restart the 3 minute test period. The test
mode
is indicated when the green LED is double blinking every 10
seconds. A normal operational mode is indicated

LED INDICATOR OPERATION
The OP121/OH121 contains an LED indicator capable of
flashing either one
of three distinct colors: green, yellow, or
red. The microprocessor based detector monitors the
following:
·Smoke in its sensing chamber
·Smoke sensitivity is within the range indicated on the
nameplate label (sensitivity verification)
·Internal sensors and electronics
Based on the results of these checks, the LED indicator
flashes as follows:

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
To assure proper operation of the detector and control panel,
it
is required that both the Sensitivity test and the Functional
test
be conducted using the procedures outlined below.
SENSITIVITY TEST
The OP121/OH121 monitors its smoke sensitivity
automatically and requires no test equipment. A green flash
of
the detector LED about every 10 seconds indicates that the
smoke sensitivity is within its listed limits.
FUNCTIONAL TEST
To test the detector and control panel for functional operation,
use SIEMENS Test Gas, P/N 500-649750. Follow t
he
instructions on the gas canister label.
Smoke entry test mode: To test the detector for smoke entry,
place the detector into a test mode. The test mode condition
is
automatically started after the initial power up and after
every
reset for a period of 3 minutes. It is recommended that
a
control panel reset be performed after every smoke entry
test
is conducted to restart the 3 minute test period. The test
mode
is indicated when the green LED is double blinking every 10
seconds. A normal operational mode is indicated
