BEFORE INSTALLING
Read System Sensor's Applications Guide for Duct Smoke Detectors (HVAG53),
which provides information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring,
and special applications. This manual is available online at www.systemsen-
sor.com. NFPA Standards 72 and 90A should also be referenced for detailed
information.
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.

[1] LIMITATIONS OF DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS
The National Fire Protection Association has established that DUCT DETEC-
TORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR
PROTECTION as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they a substitute for
early warning in a building's regular fire detection system.
System Sensor supports this position and strongly recommends that the user
read NFPA Standards 90A, 72, and 101. The DUCTSD240 Air Duct Smoke De-
tectors are listed per UL 268A.
This device will not operate without electrical power. Fire situations may
cause an interruption of power. The system safeguards should be discussed
with your local fire protection specialist.
This device will not sense smoke unless the ventilation system is operating
and the cover is installed.
For this detector to function properly, it MUST be installed according to the in-
structions in this manual. Furthermore, the detector MUST be operated within
ALL electrical and environmental specifications listed in this manual. Failure
to comply with these requirements may prevent the detector from activating
when smoke is present in the air duct.
