@) Flre'lITe~ALarms IncorporaTeD January 29, 1997 F-515 1400 2-Wire Ionization Smoke Detector Section: Conventional Initiating Devices GENERAL The System Sensor 1400 ionization smoke detector re- sponds quickly to both fast flaming and slow smoldering fires as required by UL 268. The unipolar dual chamber sensor has the sensitivity needed to quickly detect smoke, and the stability needed to avoid false alarms. FEATURES . Detects both visible and invisible smoke. . Used with UL listed control panels. . Unipolar ionization sensing chamber: a) Provides exceptional stability. b) Factory preset 1.9% nominal sensitivity. c) Stable operation in air velocities up to 1,200 feet-per- minute (7.6 meters per second). . Removable cover for field cleaning. . Visible LED "blinks" in standby. . Sealed against dirt, insects and back pressure. . 3 year limited warranty. . 8.5 - 35 VDC operating range. Field metering of detector sensitivity. . Built-in test switch. . Low standby current. . Built-in tamper-resistant feature. . Direct surface or electrical box mounting. . Remote LED option. . Insect-resistant screening (maximum to 0.020"/0.508 mm openings). . SEMS screws for easy wiring. APPLICATIONS Use for protection of life and property. Superior to photo- electric detectors in detecting fast-flaming fires. Superior to bipolar detectors in avoiding false alarms. CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION The 1400 Series ionization smoke detectors contain a unique dual source, dual unipolar chamber detection de- sign which will sense the presence of smoke particles pro- duced by fast combustion as well as slow smoldering fires. Additional key features include a blinking LED standby sta- tus indicator, an easily visible alarm indication and provi- sion for convenient field test and metering. The back of the detector is sealed to block back pressure air flow. The chamber is protected by a fine mesh (0.020"/ 0.508 mm) screen to minimize problems with dust, dirt, and insects. If cleaning is required, the cover is easily removed @ @) California State Fire Marshal 7271-1209:102 S911 CS308 <G> BSA 1539-88-SA OQ7A3.AY (with a special tool), providing access to the screen and chamber to perform a thorough cleaning. INSTALLATION Model 1400 detectors are intended for use with Fire.Ute UL listed control panels. Maximum number of detectors per zone depends on capacity of panel (see Fire.Ute Device Compatibility Document #15384). Easy to install and main- tain, this detector is designed for direct surface mounting (mounting bracket included), or mounting to a 4" octago- nal or smaller box.* Easy-to-wire screw terminals allow fast and simple field wiring of in, out, and remote annun- ciator connections. The wiring diagram (page 2) shows the correct method for wiring Model 1400 detectors. To prevent wiring mistakes, observe polarities and make certain that each conductor is identified. A copy of the installation and maintenance instructions is packaged with each detector. For further information, refer to NFPA 72 "Standard on Automatic Fire Detectors," and to local Au- thority Having Jurisdiction. oNOTE: For Canadian applications, always use a mounting elec- trical box.
