Before Installing
This detector must be installed in compliance with the con-
trol panel system installation manual. The installation must
meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ). Detectors offer maximum performance when
installed in compliance with the CAN/ULC-S524.
General Description
Filtrex® uses a small air intake fan and a high density
replaceable filter. Air and smoke are drawn into a photo-
electric sensing chamber while airborne particulate and
water mist are removed. The addressable-analog detector
transmits an analog representation of smoke density over
a communication 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
environmental conditions, where dust and other air-
borne particulate are present at elevated levels. These
elevated levels tend to cause false alarms and high
maintenance in standard detectors. Filtrex provides a
protective enclosure for a photoelectric smoke detec-
tor chamber and allows smoke detection in areas that
tended to use exclusively heat detection.
Filtrex requires compatible addressable communica-
tions to function properly. Connect this detector to
listed-compatible control panels only.

Spacing
System Sensor recommends spacing detectors in com-
pliance with CAN/ULC-S524. In low air flow applications
with smooth ceilings, space detectors 30 feet apart. For
specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement,
and special applications, refer to CAN/ULC-S524 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.

- Page 3 A detector that fails any of these tests should be retested. Figure 2. Rotary decade address switches: If the detector still fails any test, have its filter replaced (see instructions below) and retested. Finally, if the detec- tor continues to fail after replacing the filter, it must be returned for repair or replacement. When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.
