SD355, SD355T and AD355 Addressable Photoelectric Smoke Sensors
This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model SD355, SD355T and AD355 are addressable sensors that combine a state-of-the-art photoelectronic sensing chamber with communications. The sen-
sors transmit an analog representation of smoke density over a communication line to a control panel. Rotary decade switches are provided for setting the sen-
sor's address.
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. An output is provided for connection to an optional remote LED annunciator (P/N
RA400Z). Models AD355 and SD355T combine a photoelectronic sensing chamber and 135°F (57.2°C) fixed temperature heat detector.

SPACING
Fire•Lite recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low air flow
applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart. For specific informa-
tion regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to NFPA 72
or the System Smoke Detector Application Guide available from Fire•Lite.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any
special requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation
wires should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Improper connections
will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.
1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the wiring diagram, see Figure 1.
2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 2.
NOTE: Some panels support extended addressing. In order to set the sensor above address 99 on compat-
ible systems, carefully remove the stop on the upper rotary switch with thumb or as shown in Figure 2.
3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base while turning it clockwise to secure it
in place.
4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and activate the communication line.
5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.
Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during shipping. Dust
covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke. Remove sensors prior to heavy
remodeling or construction.
TAMPER-RESISTANCE
Models SD355, SD355T and AD355 include a tamper-resistant capability that prevents its removal
from the bracket without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this
capability.
TESTING
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance, and will tem-
porarily be out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when tested and main-
tained in compliance with NFPA 72. The sensor can be tested in the following ways:
A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test magnet electronically simulates
smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.
1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown.
2. The sensor should alarm the panel.
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. Coded signals,
transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control
panel technical documentation for sensor LED operation and expected delay to alarm.

  • Page 2 B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501) The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as described in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator, apply aerosol until the panel alarms. For AD355, smoke entry testing should be performed immediately following the magnet test.
