A. Introduction
The PAD300-PD is an intelligent addressable photoelectric smoke
detector. The PAD300-PHD shares the same features as the PAD300-
PD and includes a thermal sensor. The photo and heat sensors on the
PAD300-PHD work independently and generate a separate signal to
the panel.
Each detector includes one (1) LED to indicate the device status.
The LED flashes momentarily in normal conditions and flashes
at a fast rate when activated. The LED can be turned off using the
programming software.
The PAD300-PD and PAD300-PHD have a maximum spacing
limitation of 30ft. Place the detector as close to the center of the
ceiling as possible. It may be wall mounted within 12 inches from
the ceiling. To minimize false alarms, avoid placing in areas where
excessive dust, humidity, air movement, or extreme temperature
is present. Refer to NFPA 72 for more details regarding spacing,
placement and special applications.
The PAD300-PD and PAD300-PHD communicate on a proprietary
protocol to the addressable fire alarm control panel. Each detector
must be connected to either the IPA series, AFC series, or ARC fire
alarm control panel for proper operation. For detector sensitivity
settings and supervision, please refer to the panel installation
instructions.
Refer to the company website for the latest revision of this manual.
