*CALL FOR AVAILABILITY*
Smoke introduced into this air duct system will be distributed throughout the entire building. Smoke detectors designed for use in air duct systems are used to sense the presence of smoke in the duct. Model D355PL Air Duct Smoke Detector utilizes photoelectric technology for the detection of smoke. This detection method, when combined with an efficient housing design, samples air passing through the duct and allows 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, blowers, change over air handling systems, etc. These actions can facilitate the management of toxic smoke and fire gases throughout the areas served by the duct system.The D355PL incorporates a sensor cover tamper feature that provides a trouble signal at the panel immediately if the cover is removed or improperly installed. Proper installation of the sensor cover removes the trouble condition.If programmed with the system control panel, two LEDs on each duct smoke detector light to provide local visible indication.The D355PL provides a remote alarm output for use with auxiliary devices, such as the RA400Z/RA100Z remote LED annunciator, as well as remote test capability with the RTS451/151 or RTS451KEY/RTS151KEY Remote Test Stations.
DETECTOR FEATURE SET

– Sampling tubes install from front and rear
– Compatible with existing accessories
– Able to address detector per code switches on sensor head.
[3]CONTENTS Of THE DUCT SMOKE DETECTOR KIT
- Sensor/power board assembly and covers sensor head is factory installed
- Three #10 sheet metal screws for mounting
- One test magnet
- Drilling template
- One sampling tube end cap
- One plastic exhaust tube
NOTE: A sampling tube must be ordered to complete the installation. It must
be the correct length for the width of the duct where it will be installed. See
Table 1 on page 3 to determine the inlet tube required for different duct widths.
DETECTOR INSTALLATION
VERIFY DUCT AIR FLOW DIRECTION AND VELOCITY
Model D355PL detectors are designed to be used in air handling systems having air velocities of 100 to 4000 feet per minute. Duct widths from 6 inches to 12 feet can be accommodated. Be sure to check engineering specifications to ensure that the air velocity in the duct falls within these parameters. If necessary, use a velocity meter (anemometer) to check the air velocity in the duct.
DETERMINE MOUNTING LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION
On ducts wider than 18 inches it is recommended that the detector be mounted downstream of a bend, obstruction in the duct, or the supply or return air inlet.
