A. Introduction
The PAD300-CD is an intelligent addressable CO (Carbon
Monoxide) detector and PAD300-PCD is an intelligent addressable
detector with a photoelectric smoke sensor and a CO sensor. The
photo and CO sensors on the PAD300-PCD work independently and
generate a separate signal to the panel. The CO sensor utilized in both
models has a 10-year lifespan.
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-PCD has 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-CD and PAD300-PCD 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.
