Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
To keep your equipment in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum,
the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventative maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local
manufacturer's representative. Though smoke detectors are designed for long life, they may fail at any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm equipment, or any component
of that system which fails shall be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

D350PL INTELLIGENT PHOTOELECTRONIC DUCT SMOKE DETECTOR
Before installing detectors, please thoroughly read the NEMA Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors in Duct Applications, which provides detailed
information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this manual are available from NEMA (National Electrical
Manufacturers Association, 2101 L Street NW, Washington, DC 20037). NFPA Standards 72 and 90A should also be referenced for detailed informa-
tion.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector should be cleaned at least once
a year.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An HVAC system supplies conditioned air to virtually every area of a building. Smoke introduced into this air duct system is distributed to the entire
building. Smoke detectors designed for use in air duct systems are used to sense the presence of smoke in the duct.
The D350PL air duct smoke detector is a photoelectric detector. This smoke detection method combines with an efficient housing design that samples
air passing through a duct and allows detection of a developing hazardous condition. When sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is initiated at
the fire control panel monitoring the detector, and appropriate action can be taken to shut off fans, blowers and change over air handling systems, etc.
This can prevent the distribution or it can isolate toxic smoke and fire gases throughout the areas served by the duct system.
Two LEDs on each detector may illuminate, if programmed by the system control panel, to provide a local alarm indication. There is also a remote
alarm output for use with auxiliary devices. The D350PL has remote test capability with the RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station.
