WARNING  
An HVAC system supplies conditioned air to virtually every

tors designed for use in air duct systems are used to sense  
the presence of smoke in the duct.

Fire situations may cause an interruption of power. The  
system safeguards should be discussed with your local fire

Model DH100ACDC Air Duct Smoke Detectors are supplied  
as an ionization model or photoelectronic model. These  
two smoke detection methods are combined with an effi-

duct and allows detection of a developing hazardous condi-  
tion. 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, blow-  
ers, 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.

Three-Year Limited Warranty  
WARNING  
System Sensor warrants its enclosed air duct smoke detector to be free  
from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service  
for a period of three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes  
no other express warranty for this air duct smoke detector. No agent, rep-  
resentative, dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to in-  
crease or alter the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The  
Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or re-  
placement of any part of the air duct smoke detector which is found to be  
defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service dur-  
ing the three year period commencing with the date of manufacture. After  
phoning System Sensor’s toll free number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a  
Return Authorization number, send defective units postage prepaid to:  
System Sensor, Repair Department, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue,  
St. Charles, IL 60174. Please include a note describing the malfunction and  
suspected cause of failure. The Company shall not be obligated to repair  
or replace units which are found to be defective because of damage, un-  
reasonable use, modifications, or alterations occurring after the date of  
manufacture. In no case shall the Company be liable for any consequential  
or incidental damages for breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed  
or implied whatsoever, even if the loss or damage is caused by the  
Company’s negligence or fault. Some states do not allow the exclusion or  
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation  
or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal  
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
For this detector to function properly, it MUST be installed  
according to the instructions in this manual. Furthermore,  
the detector MUST be protected from the elements and op-  
erated within ALL electrical and environmental specifica-  
tions listed in this manual. Failure to comply with these  
requirements may prevent the detector from activating  
when smoke is present in the air duct.

3. Secure the tube flange to the housing bushing with two

4. For tubes longer than the width of the air duct, the tube  
should extend out of the opposite side of the duct. If  
there are more than 2 holes in the section of the tube ex-  
tending out of the duct, select a different length using  
Table 1. Otherwise, trim the end of the tube protruding  
through the duct so that 1to 2of the tube extend out-  
side the duct. Plug this end with the end plug and tape  
closed any holes in the protruding section of the tube. Be  
sure to seal the duct where the tube protrudes.

tube’s mounting flange is marked with arrows. Make sure  
the inlet tube is mounted so that the arrows point into the  
air flow (see Figure 4). Figure 5 shows the various combi-

power supply), the detector board is missing  
(replace), or the unit is defective (return for  
repair)  
NOTE: An alternate method to using the ST-10 is to use  
two ST-5 inlet tubes. Remove the flange from one  
of the tubes and install as described above. After  
the installation, use electrical tape to close off  
some of the sampling holes so that there are a total  
of 10 to 12 holes spaced as evenly as possible  
across the width of the duct.  
[6] Duct Smoke Detector Maintenance And Test  
Procedures  
Test and maintain duct detectors as recommended in NFPA  
72. The tests contained in this manual were devised to as-  
sist maintenance personnel in verification of proper detec-  
tor operation.  
Test —  
Cover  
The trouble condition can be caused inten-  
tionally to verify correct operation of the sys-  
tem. Remove the detector board to cause a  
trouble condition locally and at the system  
control panel.  
[5.6] Field Wiring  
Wiring Installation Guidelines  
NOTE: Air currents inside the duct may cause excessive  
vibration, especially when the longer sampling  
tubes are used. In these cases a 3 inch floor flange  
(available at most plumbing supply stores) may be  
used to fasten the sampling tube to the other side  
of the duct. When using the flange/connector  
mounting technique, drill a 1-inch to 11/4-inch hole  
where the flange will be used.  
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Na-  
tional Electrical Code and the local codes having jurisdic-  
tion. Proper wire gauges should be used. The conductors  
used to connect smoke detectors to control panels and ac-  
cessory devices should be color-coded to prevent wiring  
mistakes. Improper connections can prevent a system from  
responding properly in the event of a fire.  
Tamper — If the cover is removed for a period longer  
than 20 minutes, a trouble signal is generated  
to indicate the cover is missing.  
Before conducting these tests, notify the proper authorities  
that the smoke detection system will be temporarily out of  
service. Disable the zone or system under test to prevent  
unwanted alarms.  
[6.2.2] Alarm Tests  
[6.2.2.1] M02-04-00 Magnet Test  
1. Place the painted surface of the magnet onto the TEST  
locator on the bottom of the housing (Figure 11).  
[6.1] Smoke Entry Tests  
[6.1.1] Air Flow  
For signal wiring, (the wiring between interconnected de-  
tectors or from detectors to auxiliary devices), it is usually  
recommended that single conductor wire be no smaller  
than 18 gauge. The duct smoke detector terminals accom-  
modate wire sizes up to 12 gauge. The last foot of conduit  
should be flexible conduit (available in electrical supply  
houses), which facilitates easier installation and puts less  
strain on the conduit holes in the housing. Solid conduit  
connections may be used if desired.  
[5.4.3] Modifications of Inlet Sampling Tubes  
There may be applications where duct widths are not what  
is specified for the installation. In such cases, it is permis-  
sible to modify an inlet sampling tube that is longer than  
necessary to span the duct width.  
To verify sufficient sampling of ducted air, use a manometer 2. The red alarm LED on the detector should latch on, as  
to measure the differential pressure created from air flow  
across the sampling tubes. The pressure should measure no
