Before installing detectors/sensors, make a survey of the area to be covered in accordance with information provided in NFPA 72, Chapter 5 (an excerpt of which is provided below). For specific applications, refer to Simplex publication Common Code Requirements For Fire Alarm Systems (Publication No.
WHERE TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS Important: The guidelines in this section are adapted from standards published by the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts, U. S. A. These standards include NFPA 72, “National Fire Alarm Code”; NFPA 70, “National Electrical Code”, Article 760; and NFPA 90A, “Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems.”...

WHERE TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS, Continued Detectors/sensors may also be omitted from below open grid ceilings where all of the following conditions are met: • The openings of the grid are at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the smallest dimension. •...
Page 10
WHERE TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS, Continued In general, when only one detector/sensor is required in a room or space, the detector/sensor should be placed as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. Central location of the detector/sensor is best for sensing smoke and/or fire in any part of the room.
Page 11
WHERE TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS, Continued Return Supply Correct Incorrect Figure 2. Detector Placement - Air Supply and/or Return Ducts Smoke tests are helpful in determining proper placement. Special attention should be given to smoke travel directions and velocity, since either can affect detector/sensor performance.
WHERE NOT TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS One of the major causes of nuisance alarms is improper placement of detectors/sensors. The best way to avoid nuisance alarms is to not install detectors/sensors in environments that can cause them to malfunction. See Table 1 and examples given below.
Page 13
WHERE NOT TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS, Continued DO NOT PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS: • In very cold or very hot environments, or in unheated buildings or rooms where the temperature can fall below or exceed the operating temperature range of the detector/sensor. At temperatures below 32° F (0° C), ice crystals or condensation can appear inside the sensing chamber and make it overly sensitive or cause a nuisance alarm.
Page 14
WHERE NOT TO PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS, Continued Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has three standards for smoke detectors: one for duct detectors/sensors, UL 268A; one for single and multiple station detectors/sensors, UL 217; and one for system type detectors/sensors, UL 268. Detectors/sensors should only be used in the applications for which they are specifically listed.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION This section describes how the different types of detectors and sensors work. For additional information on TrueAlarm sensor operation, refer to the TrueAlarm Concepts publication (PER-91-024). Heat Detector Operation The heat detector senses the heat or the rate-of-rise in the air temperature of the environment in which it is located.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION, Continued Photoelectric Smoke These devices operate on a light scattering principle. The smoke sensing Detectors/Sensors chamber contains an infrared LED source with a peak spectral emission of 880 nanometers. This source is placed at an angle from a spectrally matched photodiode receiver.
Having Jurisdiction (AHJs). Failure to follow these instructions may result in failure of the detector to initiate an alarm condition. Simplex is not responsible for detectors that have been improperly installed, tested, or maintained. Limitations of Smoke Detectors: The smoke detectors used with these bases are designed to activate and initiate emergency action, but will do so only when used in conjunction with other equipment.
All smoke detectors identified in Table 2 mount to a detector base (refer to the General Mounting Notes 4098 Detector Bases section of this publication for more information). Use the following considerations and Figure 3 when mounting smoke detectors. IMPORTANT: Smoke must enter the chamber of the detector. Thus, air flow, air stratification, air velocity, air stagnation, and air migration will affect detector efficiency.
Refer to NFPA 72 for application, test, and maintenance requirements. Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors Heat Detector Types Simplex electronic fixed temperature heat detectors use a fast response, thermistor based design to provide temperature sensing that quickly, accurately, and consistently identifies when fixed temperatures are exceeded. For this reason, the fixed temperature detectors are recommended for most applications.

QuickConnect2 photo sensor. To use a 4-wire configuration, you must use the 4098-9682 relay base. Heat detectors require the 4098-9684 base when used with a remote LED. This section only covers the information necessary to mount and wire these base configurations. Before installing these bases, make a survey of the area to be covered in accordance with information provided in NFPA 72, Chapter 5.

3. Bases with relay modules require an 1 ½-inch extension ring (not supplied) mounted to the 4-inch square or octagonal electrical box to meet the space requirement of the relay cube and its wires. The relay module(s) cannot be used in single-gang electrical box installations. The relay cube 4098-9822 MUST be installed in the electrical box directly behind the sensor base.

Magnetic Test for Ionization Detectors The 4098 Ionization Detectors may be tested with a magnet to verify proper operation of the Fire Alarm Control Panel. Note: When ionization detectors alarm, the red LED indicator activates and latches into the ON position.
MAINTENANCE AND TESTING, Continued Testing (continued) 2. The voltage measured by the voltmeter should be within 0.2 and 0.8 volts. Detectors outputting a voltage outside this range should be cleaned or replaced. 3. If the Ion Detector voltage output is outside of the range, it should be removed and cleaned as described in the cleaning section.
Page 54
MAINTENANCE AND TESTING, Continued Cleaning (continued) 3. Once all the tabs are unlocked, remove the chamber cover by lifting the assembly straight off of the chamber. DO NOT ANGLE THE COVER TO REMOVE. Make sure the standoffs are not broken or bent. Ensure that the LED and/or Thermistor are in a straight upright position and the Prism is clean and secure in its holder after removing the cover.
MAINTENANCE AND TESTING, Continued Trouble Indications for The TrueAlarm smoke sensor is a measuring device that sends data regarding TrueAlarm Sensors smoke density to the 4010, 4020, 4100, 4100+, and 2120 fire alarm control panels (FACPs). The TrueAlarm heat sensor operates in a similar fashion, but sends temperature data instead of smoke density data.

Description Almost Dirty Using the front panel keys, it is possible for a Simplex Technical Representative to turn ON a digital pseudo point in the FACP that allows an “almost dirty” sensor to report a trouble. Although the “almost dirty” sensor is holding its sensitivity level, you can schedule maintenance for the sensor before the dirty sensor trouble occurs.
