    “device(s)”, “DCR1” and/or “DCR1-C” all refer collectively to the various models listed in Table 1-1 Model Configurations. Devices may also be referred to by only their extension with the “DCR1” name excluded, for example “-CS1” instead of “DCR1-CS1.” 1.4 Description All DCR1 detectors specified in this manual are calibrated to respond to a 4-inch Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) fire at 12 feet on axis within 3 seconds and have a clear 120°...

    Installation Manual against a wide variety of acids and solvents, thereby making it an excellent choice for use in semiconductor manufacturing tools and interior spaces of production and cleaning equipment. In addition, all models of the DCR1 are approved for installation in Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D T4 hazardous locations, such as gas cabinets.
  • Page 9: Range

    Installation Manual 2.3 Range The range of the DCR1 is a function of the degree of obstruction, presence of spurious energy sources, type of fire, position of the fire, fire size and rate of fire growth. As illustrated in Figure 2-1, the response is affected by the angle at which the fire is located from the face of the detector.
  • Page 10 The first flash pattern indicates the model type. LED 1 will illuminate while LED 2 flashes one time to identify that it is a DCR1-CS1 device. For -CT1 detectors, LED 2 will flash two times rather than one time. Once complete, both LEDs will turn off.

    Installation Manual 5 TROUBLESHOOTING If a problem is detected during installation or if the DCR1 enters Fault Mode (see Section 2.6.4), the following procedures are recommended. If the actions listed below do not correct the problem, contact your distributor for further diagnostic instructions or to obtain an authorization to return the detector for evaluation.
