  • Page 1 Photoelectronic Smoke Detector with Built-in Wireless Transmitter INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL LISTED Model # SD4-SS Patents Pending. All Rights Reserved.
  • Page 2: General Information

    Refer to the wireless system’s instructions for the maximum number of transmitters that can be supported. The Model #SD4-SS incorporates a state of the art optical sensing chamber and an advanced microprocessor. The microprocessor allows...
  • Page 3 This includes cleaning, maintenance or screen replacement. The Model #SD4-SS contains a piezoelectric horn which generates the ANSI S3.41 temporal pattern in an alarm condition. During an alarm condition, pressing the detector’s test switch will silence the piezoelectric horn for 5 minutes.
  • Page 4 Table 1: Detector LED Modes Green LED Red LED Piezoelectric Horn Power-up Blinks every 5 Blinks every 5 seconds seconds Normal (standby) Blinks every 10 seconds Out of sensitivity Blinks every 5 Smoke Alarm Blinks every 1 Temporal Pattern Low Battery Blinks every 45 Chirp every 45 sec after LED blinks for 7 days...
  • Page 5 DL123A Lithium battery (included). The detector checks for a low battery at least every 65 minutes. In addition, the red LED of the Model #SD4-SS will blink every 45 seconds and the test switch will be disabled. This condition will exist for a minimum of 7 days, and then the detector’s horn will “chirp”...
  • Page 6 Battery Installation and Replacement To replace the battery: Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise. Remove the battery and dispose of it properly. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing new battery. Install a new approved 3-volt Lithium battery in the battery compartment.
  • Page 7: Switch Settings

    The smoke detector is pre-programmed at the factory. Switch Settings The Silent Call system is digitally coded. The code sent by the transmitter must match the code that your receiver has been set for. All Silent Call receivers and transmitters leave the factory set for the default code of 1, 2 and 3=Off and 4 and 5=ON.
  • Page 8 ESTABLISHED FROM THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION BEFORE PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE DETECTOR. To check, perform the test described in the TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH section of this manual. To mount the detector, perform the following steps: Once a suitable location has been determined, install the mounting base on the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit).
  • Page 9 Figure 2: Detector Mounting Base Figure 3: Mount Detector Across Ceiling Panel Support. • DO NOT attach the detector to removable ceiling panels. Attach the detector across panel support as shown in Figure 3. Dust Covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust into the smoke detector sensing chamber during construction.
  • Page 10 Testing the Sensor Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance. The Model #SD4-SS may be tested as follows: A. Test Switch A recessed test switch is located on the detector housing (see Figure 4). Push and hold the recessed test switch for a minimum of 5 seconds.
  • Page 11 Test Switch Green LED Red LED PUSH RECESSED SWITCH WITH A 0.18’ MAX DIAMETER TOOL Figure 4: Recessed Test Switch Opening B. Smoke Entry Test Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned aerosol is also an accepted method.
  • Page 12 Testing Signal Strength NOTE: Remove battery tab before installation. A test should be performed before installation to determine a strong communication path with the receiver and after installation is complete. Also the owner/user should test the unit at least weekly. Testing Programming A test should be performed before installation to ensure the detector transmitter address is properly programmed to the receiver, and are...
  • Page 13: Maintenance

    Maintenance NOTE: Power must be removed from the detector before performing maintenance of any kind by removing the detector’s battery. To ensure proper power-down sequence, battery must be removed from detector for a minimum of 20 seconds before removing chamber top. Remove the detector cover by turning counterclockwise.
  • Page 14 Replace the detector cover by placing it over the screen/sensing chamber and turning it clockwise until it snaps into place. Reinstall the battery into the battery compartment noting proper orientation. Reinstall the detector and test. (see the Testing section). Figure 5: Removing Screen/Sensing Chamber...
