Before Installing
This detector must be installed in compliance with the
control panel system installation manual. The installation
must meet the requirements of the Authority Having Juris-
diction (AHJ). Detectors offer maximum performance
when installed in compliance with the National Fire Pro-
tection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.
General Description
Filtrex® uses a small air intake fan and a high density re-
placeable filter. Air and smoke are drawn into a photoelec-
tric sensing chamber while airborne particulate and water
mist are removed. The addressable-analog detector trans-
mits an analog representation of smoke density over a com-
munication line to a control panel. Rotary-decade switches
are provided for setting the sensor's address. Two LEDs on
the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor
status.
Filtrex smoke detector is intended for use in normal en-
vironmental conditions, where dust and other airborne
particulate are present at elevated levels. These elevated
levels tend to cause false alarms and high maintenance
in standard detectors. Filtrex provides a protective enclo-
sure for a photoelectric smoke detector chamber and al-
lows smoke detection in areas that tended to use
exclusively heat detection.
Filtrex requires compatible addressable communications
to function properly. Connect this detector to listed-com-
patible control panels only.

Spacing
System Sensor recommends spacing detectors in compli-
ance with NFPA 72. In low air flow applications with
smooth ceilings, space detectors 30 feet apart. For specific
information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and spe-
cial applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Sensor
Guide For Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, available
from System Sensor (P/N I56-407-XX).
Filtrex is not designed to operate in explosive environments.
