Description
The smoke detector works on the optical light scattering
principle and is used to monitor the ventilation duct in air
conditioning systems. When used with a fire damper, it
prevents cold smoke with a temperature of 72 °C from
propagating through the AC system.
In the function mode, the smoke alarm of the smoke
detector is permanently flushed by the air flow in the duct
being monitored. If the smoke density exceeds a specific
concentration, the smoke alarm breaks the power circuit
to the control device of the fire damper; and the damper
closes. To ensure the specified function, the smoke detector
is also fitted with an air velocity sensor which monitors the
air flow in the immediate vicinity of the smoke alarm. A lack
of air flow, eg. caused by a closed damper or fan failure, is
signalled by an LED and opening relay contact.
The electrical safety circuits of the smoke detector are
constantly checked electronically and signalled on failure
by an LED and closing relay contact. At the same time, the
opening of the alarm relay contact interrupts the control
circuit and the fire damper closes. To avoid false alarms
due to pollution, the smoke alarm sampling chamber is
continuously monitored electronically. If a permitted threshold
of “> 70 ± 10 units” is exceeded, a signal is given by an LED
and closing relay contact.
The actual pollution value can be scanned directly at the
smoke detector or on the remote control terminal using the
diagnostic instrument.
Installation of a remote control terminal enables the electrical
function tests to be carried out from a central point, e.g. fire
control room.
Application
All fire dampers fitted with electric or electric/pneumatic
control devices which operate when voltage is removed may
be controlled via the smoke detector.
This is recorded in the general building authority permits for
Trox fire damper.
The smoke detectors are marked with the U symbol in
accordance with the Approval Mark regulations in Germany.
The external verification prescribed by law is carried out by
VdS e.V, Cologne.

Installation Instructions
– The smoke detector must be installed on a vibration-free
surface, in an area of the duct to be monitored having a
uniform air flow over the smoke alarm during normal
operation.
– Attach the drilling template to the centre of the air duct
(H/2) and drill holes.
– Remove housing cover.
– Attach housing to air duct.
– For visual inspection or to replace the smoke alarm, an
inspection opening should be provided on the upper or
lower side of the air duct.
Optional electrical connections (mains connection and
connection to control device of fire damper) should be
such that the entire smoke detector can be removed to
replace the smoke alarm.
The smoke alarm can be released from its lock by turning
anti-clockwise. When re-inserted it is locked by turning
clockwise.
– Connect control device of fire damper to the smoke
detector (terminal strip L3).
– Connect to mains.
– Connect remote control terminal (if required);
connection lines: twin core telephone cable.
– Fit housing cover.

Inspection and Maintenance
7
Function Test
Smoke detectors must be inspected every 3 months after
commissioning of the air conditioning system and
maintenance carried out at yearly intervals. Inspection
and maintenance can be carried out at the same time.
Inspection
Pressing the “Test/Reset” button on the smoke detector
or on the remote control terminal interrupts the circuit to
the control device on the fire damper which then closes.
On releasing the button, fire dampers with actuators
automatically return to the open position. Fire dampers
with solenoid or magnet release must be opened locally
by hand.
The fouling of the smoke alarm can be scanned directly on
the smoke detector using the diagnostic instrument and/or
via the remote control terminal.
For signal indication, see overview of functions, page 6.
Maintenance
Check the following:
– Application and installation position
(during commissioning and after system changes)
– Correct electrical connections and no loose wires in
terminals
– Electrical interaction of signal emitter, display and control
devices on fire damper
– Response of smoke alarm to smoke aerosol, e.g. cigarette
smoke or smoke from smoke cartridge. When the
permitted concentration limit is exceeded, the smoke
alarm interrupts the circuit to the control device on the
fire damper to be controlled and the damper closes
– Check response of air velocity monitor, e.g. switch off fan
For signal indication see overview of function, page 6.
Eliminating Faults
If inspection or maintenance has revealed any faults, these
must be repaired immediately. Faulty components must be
replaced only by original Trox spare parts.
Only the manufacturer may make repairs to the smoke
detector.
If a function test reveals that the smoke detector is working
correctly but the fire damper to be controlled is not closing,
the control device on the damper and the damper itself
must be checked for operation.
