DHX-502 INTELLIGENT AIR DUCT SMOKE DETECTOR HOUSING
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing detectors, please thoroughly read the NEMA Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors in Duct
Applications , which provides detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special
applications. Copies of this manual are available from NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association, 2101
L Street NW, Washington, DC 20037). NFPA Standards 72 and 90A should also be referenced for detailed
information.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector
should be cleanded at least once a year.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An HVAC system supplies conditioned air to virtually every area of a building. Smoke introduced into this air duct
system will be distributed to the entire building. Smoke detectors designed for use in air duct systems are used to
sense the presence of smoke in the duct.
The DHX-502 Air Duct Detector Housings are used with Notifier's intelligent model CPX-551 ionization detector head
and Model SDX-551 photoelectronic detector head. These two principal smoke detection methods are combined with
an efficient housing design that samples air passing through a duct and allows early detection of a developing
hazardous condition. When sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is initiated at the fire control panel monitoring
the detector, and appropriate action can be taken to shut off fans and blowers, change over air handling systems, etc.
This can prevent the distribution or isolation of toxic smoke and fire gases throughout the areas served by the duct
system.
Two LEDs on each detector latch ON to provide a local alarm indication. There is also a remote alarm output for use
with auxiliary devices. The DHX-502 has remote test capability with the RTS451/RTS451KEY Remote Test Station.

    STEP 1. VERIFY DUCT AIR FLOW DIRECTION AND VELOCITY The DHX-502 is designed to be used in air handling systems having air velocities of 500 to 4000 feet per minute. Be sure to check engineering specifications to ensure that the air velocity in the duct falls within these parameters. If necessary, a velocity meter to check the air velocity in the duct.

CAUTION: The CPX-551 and SDX-551 models can be used with the DHX-502 if the following constraints are observed. AIR FLOW DIRECTION ARROWS There is a limit to the number of devices per zone that can have their LEDs latched ON. The actual number of devices MUST FACE is determined by the control panel and its ability to supply LED current.

Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent DIRECTION DIRECTION unwanted alarms and possible dispatch of the fire department.
  • Page 5 The capability of “TROUBLE” detection is tested by removing the detector head from the duct housing. The detector The DHX-502 is designed for easy wiring. The housing provides a terminal strip with clamping plates. Wiring head is removed by turning it counterclockwise about 10 degrees (Figure 8). The system control panel should indicate connections are made by stripping approximately 1/2-inch of insulation from the end of the wire, sliding this bare end a trouble condition.

    Visually inspect the filters at least quarterly; inspect them more often if the dust accumulation warrants it. Replacement filters can be ordered from Notifier (exhaust tube/intake tube filter P/N F36-05-00). The filters do not substantially affect smoke performance under normal conditions. There is very little restriction of smoke entry even when up to 90% of the filter is clogged.
