Descriptions Four-wire Duct Smoke Detector SD-4W

Reliability and stability are two features built every SuperDuct detector. SuperDuct features environmental compensation with patented differential sensing. This achieves a level of stability and reliability never before achieved for devices of this type. With differential sensing, SuperDuct sensors are immune sensitivity drift – a common cause of false alarms. Every eight minutes the SuperDuct sensor checks its environment for dirt, humidity other conditions that normally interfere with sensor operation, and automatically adjusts its sensitivity to compensate. The result is unparalleled reliability and rock solid stability – two features essential to any duct smoke detection application.

Sensitivity testing and diagnostics reveal some of the most exciting innovations built SuperDuct. With the ingenious SuperDuct remote test station, a sensitivity test can be performed at any time the safety and comfort of a maintenance office or utility room. Operated either by key or by magnet, the one-gang station also performs alarm tests for detectors connected to a single controller. Detectors may also be tested at the controller via a test switch, or they can be tested individually in the field with a simpleto-operate magnetic test tool. Access to the magnetic reed switch does not require the detector cover to be removed, so testing can be performed quickly and easily.

A dedicated dirty/trouble LED on each unit offers immediate at-aglance information even when the cover is closed.

Application of Four-wire Duct Smoke Detector SD-4W

- SuperDuct smoke detection is ideally suited to HVAC applications where early indication of combustion is required within the confined space of ventilation ductwork.

- Duct detectors are usually installed on the supply duct after the air filters, or in the return air stream prior to being diluted by outside air.

- SuperDuct detectors continually sample air flow in the HVAC duct and initiate an alarm condition whenever smoke is detected. An alarm is activated when the quantity (percent obscuration) of combustion products in that air sample exceeds the detector’s sensitivity setting.

- Air velocity in the duct as low as 100 ft/min. maintains adequate air flow the sensor smoke chamber through air-holes in the air sampling tube and discharges through the exhaust tube. SuperDuct air sampling tubes must be installed with the inlet holes facing the airstream. Sampling tubes may be rotated in 45-degree increments so that air-holes can be aligned to allow the unit to be mounted in virtually any angle relative to the airflow.

- SuperDuct detectors are engineered to operate optimally under the harsh environmental conditions frequently found in HVAC ductwork. Nonetheless, before installing the detector, test the duct air velocity, temperature, and humidity to verify that it is within the operating range of the SuperDuct detector.
