The Fire•Lite® Alarms SD365(A), SD365R(A), and SD365HT(A)
intelligent plug-in smoke detectors are designed for both performance and aesthetics, and are direct replacements for the SD355
Series. A new modern, sleek, contemporary design and enhanced
optical sensing chamber is engineered to sense smoke produced by
a wide range of combustion sources in accordance with more stringent code standards.
Exclusively for use with Fire•Lite’s addressable fire alarm control
panels, the SD365(A) Series point ID capability allows each detector’s address to be set with rotary, decimal address switches, providing exact detector location for emergency personnel to quickly locate
a fire during its early stages, potentially saving precious rescue time
while also reducing property damage. Two LEDs on each sensor
light to provide a local, visible sensor indication.
The SD365(A) Series also offers 135°F (57°C) fixed temperature
thermal sensing on the SD365T(A) and a remote test capable detector on the SD365R(A) for use with DNR(A)/DNRW duct smoke
detector housings.
Features
SLC LOOP:
- Two-wire SLC loop connection
- Unit uses base for wiring
- Compatible with LiteSpeed™ and CLIP protocol systems
- Stable communication technique with noise immunity
ADDRESSING:
- Addressable by device
- Rotary, decimal addressing (Refer to the Fire•Lite panel manuals for device capacity.)
ARCHITECTURE:
- Sleek, low-profile, stylish design
- Unique single-source design to respond quickly and dependably to a broad range of fires
- Integral communications and built-in device-type identification
- Built-in tamper resistant feature
- Remote test feature from the panel
- Walk test with address display (an address on 121 will blink the detector LED: 12-[pause]-1(LiteSpeed systems only)
- Built-in functional test switch activated by external magnet
- Removable cover and insect-resistant screen for simple field cleaning
- Expanded color options
OPERATION:
- Designed to meet UL 268 7th Edition
- Factory preset at 1.5% nominal sensitivity for panel alarm threshold level
- LED “blinks” when the unit is polled (communicating with the fire panel) and latches in alarm.
- Low standby current
MECHANICALS:
- Sealed against back pressure
- SEMS screws for wiring of the separate base
- Designed for direct-surface or electrical-box mounting
- Plugs into separate base for ease of installation and maintenance
- Separate base allows interchange of photoelectric, ionization and thermal sensors
OPTIONS:
- Optional relay, isolator, and sounder bases
Installation
SD365 Series plug-in intelligent smoke detectors use a detachable
base to simplify installation, service and maintenance. Installation
instructions are shipped with each detector.
Mount detector base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which
is at least 1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. For a chart of compatible junction
boxes, see DF-60059.
NOTE: Because of the inherent supervision provided by the SLC loop,
end-of-line resistors are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or branches are
permitted for Class “B” wiring only.
When using relay or sounder bases, consult the I300(A) installation
sheet I56-3626 for device limitations between isolator modules and isolator bases.
Construction
These detectors are constructed of fire-resistant plastic. The SD365
Series plug-in intelligent smoke detectors are designed to commercial standards and offer an attractive appearance.
Operation
Each SD365 Series detector uses one of the panel’s addresses
(total limit is panel dependent) on the Fire•Lite Signaling Line Circuit
(SLC). It responds to regular polls from the control panel and reports
its type and the status. If it receives a test command from the panel
(or a local magnet test), it stimulates its electronics and reports an
alarm. It blinks its LEDs when polled and turns the LEDs on when
commanded by the panel. The SD365 Series offers features and
performance that represent the latest in smoke detector technology.
Detector Sensitivity Test
Each detector can have its sensitivity tested (required per NFPA 72,
Chapter 14 on Inspection, Testing and Maintenance) when installed/
connected to an Fire•Lite addressable fire alarm control panel. The
results of the sensitivity test can be printed for record keeping.
DETECTOR SPACING AND APPLICATIONS
Fire•Lite recommends spacing detectors in compliance with NFPA
72. In low airflow applications with smooth ceiling, space detectors
30 feet (9.1m). For specific information regarding detector spacing,
placement, and special applications refer to NFPA 72. A System
Smoke Detector Application Guide, document SPAG91, is available
at www.systemsensor.com.
