Kidde KIR-OSHD Installation Sheet

KIR-OSHD Intelligent Rotary
Multisensor Optical
Photoelectric Smoke and Heat
Detector Installation Sheet
Description
The KIR-OSHD is an intelligent device that contains an optical smoke
sensor and a rate-of-rise heat sensor with a fixed temperature setting.
The detector analyzes data from both the heat sensor and optical
sensing chamber to recognize smoke from a fire while ignoring
nuisance non-fire sources and whether to initiate an alarm to the Fire
Alarm Control Panel. This device can be operated as a single detector
using smoke or heat to initiate an alarm or as a split sensor with heat
and smoke initiating separate signals.
LED indicator. The LED indicator (see Figure 1 below) displays the
following states:
• Normal: Green LED indicator flashes, no action.
• Alarm/active: Red LED indicator flashes, evacuate the area.

Installation
Install and wire this device in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
WARNINGS
• Independent studies indicate that heat detectors should only be
used when property protection alone is involved. The heat sensor
in this device provides a source of supplemental information. The
heat sensor by itself does not provide life safety protection. Never
rely on heat detectors as the sole means of fire protection.
Notes
• This detector does not operate without electrical power. As fires
frequently cause power interruption, discuss further safeguards
with the local fire protection specialist.
• This detector does not sense fires in areas where smoke or heat
cannot reach the detector. Smoke or heat from fires in walls, roofs,
or on the opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector.
• To ensure proper operation, store the detector within the
recommended ranges. Allow the detector to stabilize to room
temperature before applying power.
• The dust cover (supplied) must remain on the detector during
installation and be removed prior to commissioning and service.
The dust cover is not a substitute for removing the detector during
new construction or heavy remodeling.
• Do not install detectors until after final construction cleanup (unless
otherwise specified by the AHJ).
• Do not use smoke detectors with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable.
• In Canada, install according to the CAN/ULC-S524 Standard for
the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, the CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code, and the local authority having jurisdiction.
• Upon completion of the original installation and following any
modifications or additions to the system, perform a calibrated
sensitivity test per NFPA code. The Kidde Intelligent Series
devices can perform this test and the panel can generate a system
sensitivity report.
To install the detector
1. Install and wire the base, as described on the installation sheet
supplied with the base.
1. Set the detector address. Refer to the panel technical reference
manual for a list of valid addresses. Use a screwdriver to adjust
the two rotary switches on the back of the detector.
(See Figure 1.) Set the left rotary switch (0 through 12) for the 10s
and 100s digit and the right rotary switch for the 0 through 9 digit.
2. Attach the detector to the base by rotating the detector clockwise
until it snaps into the locked position.
