Before Installing
This detector must be installed in compliance with the con-
trol panel system installation manual. The installation must
meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdic-
tion (AHJ). Detectors offer maximum performance when
installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.
General Description
Filtrex® uses a small air intake fan and a high density re-
placeable filter. Air and smoke are drawn into a photoelec-
tric sensing chamber while airborne particulate and water
mist are removed. The addressable-analog detector transmits
an analog representation of smoke density over a commu-
nication line to a control panel. Rotary-decade switches are
provided for setting the sensor's address. Two LEDs on the
sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status.
Filtrex smoke detector is intended for use in normal en-
vironmental conditions, where dust and other airborne
particulate are present at elevated levels. These elevated
levels tend to cause false alarms and high maintenance
in standard detectors. Filtrex provides a protective en-
closure for a photoelectric smoke detector chamber and
allows smoke detection in areas that tended to use exclu-
sively heat detection.
Filtrex requires compatible addressable communications
to function properly. Connect this detector to listed-com-
patible control panels only.

Spacing
System Sensor recommends spacing detectors in com-
pliance with NFPA 72. In low air flow applications with
smooth ceilings, space detectors 30 feet apart. For specific
information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and spe-
cial applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Sensor
Guide For Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, available
from System Sensor (P/N I56-407-XX).
Filtrex is not designed to operate in explosive environments.

Proper service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system All detectors must be tested after installation and periodi- troubleshooting.

- Page 3 Figure 2. Rotary decade address switches: A detector that fails any of these tests should be retested. If the detector still fails any test, have its filter replaced (see instructions below) and retested. Finally, if the detec- tor continues to fail after replacing the filter, it must be re- turned for repair or replacement. When testing is complete, restore the system to normal op- eration and notify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation. Cleaning The unique design of Filtrex eliminates the need for typi- TENS ONES cal detector cleaning. The only maintenance necessary is C0146-00 replacing the filter, which is signaled by a trouble condition Figure 3.
