Description
% STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
The Chemetron Fire Systems Ionization Smoke Detector
features two bi-colored LEDs for status indication. In standby
the LEDs flash green once every second. When the detector
senses smoke and goes into alarm, the LEDs latch on red. The
detector is comprised of a patented dual chamber smoke
sensing element utilizing advanced electronic circuitry. The
sensing chamber is unique in that a single radioactive source
ionizes both the reference and sample chambers. This provides
for stable operation over a wide air flow range.
% SIMPLIFIED OPERATING PRECISION
Advanced smoke chamber design is enhanced by the use
of high quality components. Automated assembly and 100%
functional testing assure uniform operation. Each detector
contains an alarm LED that pulses in the standby mode when
power is present. In an alarm condition, the LED illuminates
steadily to pinpoint the location of the triggered detector.
% SIMPLIFIED TESTING
Testing is easy and reliable. A built-in reed switch permits
the detector to be test-activated by an external magnet. This
simple magnet test simulates activation by smoke at a level
between 4% and 6% obscuration. This magnet test is especially
useful in environmentally unstable or clean areas.
% ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS OPTIONAL
An optional relay base is available to permit the smoke
detector to activate additional devices such as remote visual
and audible alarms, door closers, etc. The compact relay
module fits into the detector junction box.

% ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
Early warning smoke detector shall be Chemetron Fire
Systems detector stock number (see ordering information). It
shall operate on the ionization principle. The detector shall
consist of a dual chamber smoke sensing element with
sampling and reference chambers that use the same radioac-
tive source. Detectors shall be of low-profile design and shall
protrude from ceiling not more than 2 inches. Static shielding
shall protect against the operation interference of electrical
noise. The detector shall not be affected by pressure or
humidity changes. Detector head shall be fitted with locking
pin that requires an uncommon tool for removal from its
base.
The head shall incorporate dual pulsing green LEDs as an
indication of power at the detector head. The dual LED shall
illuminate steadily on red to provide a positive indication when
the detector is in the alarm condition. Wiring shall be accom-
plished by using screw terminals.
Positive, convenient testing shall be provided by a built-in
reed switch, permitting activation by an external magnet,
simulating activation by smoke.
The base shall be capable of being used with both ioniza-
tion and photoelectric detector heads. An optional relay base
shall permit detectors to activate additional devices such as
remote alarms, door closers, etc.
