General Description Introduction The 4098-9687 Stand Alone Duct Detector (see Figure 1 on page 2) is designed to sample air and detect smoke in air ducts. The 4098-9687 duct detector uses the 4098-9601 photoelectric smoke detector. The 4098-9687 Stand Alone Duct Detector provides fail-safe operation, the loss of power or detector removal activates the Duct Detector Housing alarm relay contacts.

Installation Pre-Installation Routines The 4098-9687 Stand Alone Duct Detector should be installed in a location of relatively nonturbulent air flow and within the intended operating velocity range of 300-4000 feet-per-minute (91 to 1220 M/min.). Simplex recommends measurements of air flow and examination of engineering specifications that define expected duct air velocities under all conditions.

Installation, Continued Stand Alone Duct Detector Tape the template (Figure 14) on the duct surface as shown in Figure 8. Installation Note: Do not position the template with edges angled with respect to air flow direction (Figure 8). Drill two 1 5/16-inch (33.32 mm) holes (marked “A” in Figure 14) as located by the template.

Installation, Continued Accessory Installation The 4098-9842 Duct Control Station is intended for installation to a standard double-gang outlet box having a depth of at least two inches. See Figure 11 for basic mounting details. Make wiring connections in accordance with the wiring diagrams (Figures 2 and 3) prior to attaching accessory to the box.
Installation, Continued To properly remove and replace the detector to the base (see Figure 1): Detector Replacement Remove power from the Stand Alone Duct Detector. Loosen the four screws that secure the clear plastic cover to the housing base. Insert a small blade screwdriver into the lock release slot in the base. Rotate the detector counterclockwise to remove it from the base.
The 4098-9601 photoelectric detector may be tested by placing a magnet at the Photoelectric Detectors location indicated by a “TEST” mark embossed on the cover for four (4) seconds (see Figure 12). Use the Simplex Magnet Tester (Part No. 553-810), Table 3, and the following information to test detectors. TEST MARK...
Installation, Continued • Magnetic Test for NON-FUNCTIONAL - If the detector is less sensitive than the minimum Photoelectric Detectors, allowable sensitivity, the visible LED does not flash normally. When in (continued) MAG TEST, the visible LED slowly flashes four times, once every two seconds.
Installation, Continued Air Differential Pressure Test With the air handling unit turned on and all filters and dampers in place, measure the air differential pressure using a Dwyer Instrument Co. (Michigan City, Ind.) No. 20026 0 to 2” H O (or equivalent) differential pressure gauge. Take measurements from inside of the detector/sensor housing before the cover is installed.
