    Mount (Model SM4) for greater flexibility in mounting locations (See Figures 4 and 5). Stand-Alone Operation For Stand-Alone operation, the Model SS4-A/-A2 Detector may be connected to a FM Approved or UL listed Fire/Security Panel. The Detector operated in the Stand-Alone mode uses the Fire, Fault, and Verify (optional) relays to interface to the Fire/Security Panels.

  • Page 6: Overview

    Re-certification is required if a Fault is indicated by both LEDs rapidly blinking (with frequency about 2 Hz.). Version SS4-A2: The operation of this unit is identical to the SS4-A, except the fire alarm LEDs turn off once the fire threat is eliminated, without power cycling of the device.

    2. Latching / Non-Latching - The Fire Relay and Verify Relay may be set in a Latching or Non-Latching mode. If Latching mode is selected on the SS4-A, the Fire or Verify Relay and red LEDs will remain energized until the Detector power is cycled (power is turned off then on).

  • Page 8: 1.6 Testing

    For manual testing, the SS4-AUV Detector may be exposed to an actual industry standard open flame or to a Test Lamp simulating a fire. It is mandatory to use the Fire Sentry handheld UV/IR Test Lamp Model No FT-2045 or FT-2145 with SS4 Fire Detectors. The FT-2045 and FT-2145 Test Lamps are housed in an Explosion-Proof enclosure, powered by internal rechargeable batteries, and designed for indoor and outdoor use.

    Power Supply Considerations The Model SS4-A/-A2 Detector uses 24 Volts DC at a maximum current of 75 mA (with the 4-20 mA option the maximum supply current is 95 mA). Make sure the Panel's power supply can withstand the load current of the total number of Detectors connected to it.

    SECTION 3: TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Model SS4-A/-A2 Detector Faults The Model SS4-A/-A2 Detector issues a Fault (or Trouble) condition by de-energizing its Fault Relay (J5 connector). The following are Detector Faults: a. Temperature Fault: The Detector faults if the internal temperature during operation rises above 80°C or falls below -40°C causing both LEDs to blink rapidly.
