Typical field wiring diagrams for the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) (FIGURE 4). The SLC supports NFPA wiring Class B, A and X. The PAD100-SPKB offer a choice of field selectable power taps: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 watts (FIGURE 5) for use with either 25 VRMs or 70.7 VRMs audio amplifiers. The frequency range of the PAD100-SPKB is
400-4000 Hz. The PAD100-SPKB is suitable for line supervision. The PAD100-SPKB includes DC blocking capacitor which allows for supervision voltage of either polarity.

Wiring Instruction

To ensure proper installation of the detector head to the base, wires shall be dressed properly at the time of installation
When using PAD100-SPKB / PAD100-LFSB base, observe the correct polarity of SLC

NOTICE:

THE WIRING TO BE USED SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 3(B) OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, NFPA 70, AS WELL AS ARTICLE 210.
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD
DO NOT USE LOOPED WIRE UNDER BREAK WIRE RUN TO PROVIDE SUPERVISION OF CONNECTION.

CAUTION!

Break wire runs to provide supervision for connections made to each wire
When installing, route field wiring away from sharp projections, corners and internal

Detector Base Mounting

PAD100-LFSB / PAD100-SPKB should be mounted directly on the electrical box (FIG- URE 6a) or to the LFSBBB-W back box (FIGURE 6b). The PAD100-LFSB / PAD100-SPKB
mounting holes are configured for a 4” x 2-1/8” deep square box. Use a box for each base and run the power circuit to all base locations.
Use 12 to 18 AWG conductors to connect to terminals of bases. It is recommended that the SLC conductors be color-coded to avoid wiring errors and
assist in system troubleshooting. Improper SLC connections may prevent the system from operating normally. Disconnect power to the SLC until the detectors are installed.

Wire the detector bases according to Field Wiring
Use the dip switches (SECTION 11) to set address(es) (1 – 127) for each detector

NOTICE:

THE PAD100-LFSB /PAD100-SPKB OBTAINS THE ADDRESS FROM THE DETECTOR
THE DETECTORS AND THE PAD100 MODULES MUST HAVE INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS(ES).

To install the detector head onto the base, match the detector heads to the base using the alignment feature and twist clockwise until the detector heads snap into place (FIGURE 6a).

FIGURE 6a: Assembly of Detector on Electrical Box

FIGURE 6b: Assembly of Detector on LFSBBB-W Back Box

4. After all detector heads, addressable bases and modules have been installed, apply power to the FACP.
5. Test the detectors as described in the Testing Section of this manual.

NOTICE: DO NOT INSTALL DETECTOR HEADS UNTIL AREA HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY
CLEANED TO REMOVE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, DUST, ETC., AS REQUIRED BY NFPA

4. Spacing Limitations

NOTICE: REFER TO NFPA 72 FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING DETECTOR SPACING, MOUNTING LOCATION AND SPECIAL APPLICATIONS.
PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD100-PHD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-PCHD and PAD200-PHD: Photoelectric Smoke Detector PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-PCHD, PAD100-PHD and PAD200- PHD are ANSI/UL listed on maximum 30ft spacing limitation with alarm set point from 135O-174O F on smooth ceiling. Refer to NFPA 72 for specific informationregarding detector spacing, placement and special applications. PAD100-HD: Heat Detector
The ANSI/UL listed spacing limitations of PAD100-HD smooth ceiling are dependent on alarm set point.

6. Locking Feature

The PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD100-PHD, PAD200-PHD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-
PCHD, PAD100-HD and PAD100-CD include a tamperproof feature that locks the detector and does not allow removal without the use of a tool.

Once the detector has been installed the detector locks into the base. To remove the detector from the base, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the detector (FIGURE 11) and push the plastic tab while simultaneously turning the detector head counter-clockwise.
The locking feature can be To disable the locking feature, break off the locking tab before installation (FIGURE 12).

!9 WARNING

Detector will not operate without electrical power. Fire can cause power interruption, discuss with a fire protection specialist for additional safeguards.
Do not open PAD100-PHD, PAD200-PHD, PAD100-HD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200- PCHD or PAD100-CD detector for cleaning. If the detector is opened, product warranty becomes
If the detector does not work properly, do not try and fix it yourself. This will void your warranty. For technical assistance, contact Potter Electric Signal Company at 866-956-1211 for instructions to return a detector that does not operate properly
Detector will not sense fires that start in areas where smoke or heat cannot reach the detector. Smoke or heat from fires in walls, roofs or on the opposite side of closed doors may not reach the
Keep supplied dust cover in place during installation and construction. Remove dust cover prior to operation.
Dust cover is not a substitute for removal of detector during new construction or
The detector cannot detect smoke when the dust cover is in place.
Never use an open flame of any kind to test your You may ignite and damage the detector.
Do not cover, tape or otherwise block the openings of your detector.
The openings are designed to allow air to pass through the detector, thus sampling the air around the detector.
DO NOT stand close to the device when the alarm is sounding. Exposure at close range could result in hearing damage.
Detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and found suitable for that
To ensure proper operation, store detector within the recommended ranges. Allow the detector to stabilize to room temperature before applying power.
If the detector ever fails to test properly, replace it Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer for replacement, see LIMITED WARRANTY.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS

11. PAD Protocol Dip Switch Settings

The following information is for setting the dipswitches on the PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD100-PHD, PAD200-PHD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-PCHD, PAD100-HD and PAD100-CD detectors and modules.
Setting the Address: All PAD protocol detectors and modules require an address prior to connection to the panel’s SLC loop. Each PAD device’s address (i.e., detector and/or module) is set by changing the dip switches located on the device. PAD device addresses are comprised of a seven (7) position dip switch used to program each device with an address ranging from 1-127 (FIGURE 15). The below examples (FIGURE 13 and FIGURE 14) illustrate a PAD device’s dip switch settings. The first example (FIGURE 13) illustrates a device not addressed where all dip switch settings are in the default OFF position. The second example (FIGURE 14) illustrates an addressed PAD device via the dip switch settings.

NOTE: Each gray box indicates that the dip switch is ON and each white box indicates the dip switch is OFF.
