POTTER PAD100-6DB Addressable Detector Instruction Manual

POTTER PAD100-6DB Addressable Detector

Description

This document provides instructions for mounting and wiring the Detector Base PAD100-6DB and PAD100-4DB. The following detectors are compatible with Detector Base PAD100-6DB and PAD100-4DB.

• PAD200-PD & PAD100-PD: Photoelectric Smoke Detector
• PAD200-PHD & PAD100-PHD: Photoelectric Smoke / Heat Detector
• PAD200-PCD: Photoelectric Smoke / CO Detector PAD200-PCHD: Photoelectric Smoke / CO Detector/ Heat Detector PAD100-HD: Heat Detector
• PAD100-CD: Carbon Monoxide Detector

Field Wiring Diagrams

Typical field wiring diagrams for the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) (FIGURE 1). The SLC supports NFPA wiring Class B, A and X.

Typical of NFPA Style B SLC (S+, S-) Wiring using either the PAD100-6DB or PAD100-4DB base (FIGURE 1). In Style A arrangement two separate conductors would return from the last detector base to a listed compatible Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). In Style X, it is required to use PAD100-IB (Addressable Isolator Bases) and typical field diagram is in the PAD100-IB Installation Manual.

Wiring Instruction

• To ensure proper installation of the detector head to the base, wires
  shall be dressed properly at the time of installation

•  Using PAD100 Bases, observe the correct polarity of SLC wiring.

NOTICE:

• THE WIRING TO BE USED SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 300.3(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 72.

CAUTION! Break wire runs to provide supervision for connections made to each wire pair.

Use 12 to 22 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.

1. Wire the detector bases according to Field Wiring Diagrams.

2.  Use the dip switches (SECTION 11) to set address(es) (1 – 127) for each detector head.
   NOTICE: THE DETECTORS AND THE PAD100 MODULES MUST HAVE INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS(ES).

3. After all detector heads, addressable bases and modules have been installed, apply power to the FACP.

4. Test the detectors as described in the Testing Section of this manual.

Spacing Limitations

NOTICE: REFER TO NFPA 72 FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING DETECTOR SPACING, MOUNTING LOCATION AND SPECIAL APPLICATIONS. PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-PCHD, PAD100-PHD 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 information regarding 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.

Alarm Set-Point| Rate of Rise Spacing| Fixed Temperature Spacing
---|---|---
135O to 174O F (57O to 79O C)| Maximum 60 ft.| Maximum 60 ft.
175O to 185O F (80O to 85O C)| Maximum 15 ft.| Maximum 15 ft.
135O to 160O F (57O to 71O C)| Maximum 70 ft.| Maximum 70 ft.

Testing Testing shall be performed periodically to determine if each detector operates properly. Detectors will offer maximum performance when tested in compliance with NFPA 72.

NOTICE: REFER TO FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL (FACP) MANUAL FOR OPERATION OF DIRTY VALUE READ / PRINT, ALARMSIMULATION AND WALK TEST.

Operational Testing
When PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD100-PHD, PAD200-PHD, PAD200-PCD,
PAD200-PCHD, PAD100-HD and PAD100-CD are under normal conditions in
standby mode, the alarm indicator LEDs on the face of the detector will pulse
approximately once every 4 seconds.

NOTICE: WHEN A PANEL IS CONFIGURED TO NOT FLASH LEDS, THE LEDS ON THE DETECTORS WILL NOT FLASH AT ANY TIME.

Sensitivity Testing (Dirty Value Read / Print) The sensitivity drift value (Dirty Value) of the smoke detector can be checked at the FACP. The Dirty Value can be read and printed out at the FACP.

NOTICE: DETECTOR COMPENSATES SENSITIVITY UNTIL LIMIT OF COMPENSATION. WHEN COMPENSATION RATE REACHES LIMIT, A TROUBLE SIGNAL WILL BE INDICATED ON THE FACP.

Functional Testing

NOTICE: BE SURE TO DIS-ENGAGE ALL ALARM SIGNAL SERVICES, RELEASING DEVICES AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS, PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING TEST, EXCEPT AUTOMATIC TESTING BY THE FACP. BE SURE TO RE-ENGAGE THESE SYSTEMS WHEN ALL TESTING IS COMPLETE.

Walk Test The FACP must be placed into Walk Test Mode and follow the steps below. Use the appropriate steps outlined below for the detector that is to be tested.

CAUTION! FAILURE TO ALARM DURING A TEST INDICATES A DEFECTIVE DETECTOR. REPLACE DETECTOR IMMEDIATELY.

• PAD100-PD, PAD200-PD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-PCHD, PAD100-PHD and PAD200-PHD Smoke Detectors: Use a ANSI/UL listed aerosol such as Home Safeguard Model 25S or SDi Smoke Centurion as acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

• PAD100-PHD, PAD200-PCHD, PAD200-PHD and PAD100-HD Heat Detectors:
  Detectors:
  NOTICE: TAKE CARE DURING THE HEATING OF THE DETECTOR TO AVOID OVERHEATING THE PLASTIC HOUSING.
  

  • Use of a low powered heat gun is acceptable.
    CAUTION: Do not heat over 210o

  • F (98.9oC).

  • Maintain a minimum of 1 foot between the detector and the heat gun nozzle.

  • Heat the detector for a minimum of 10 seconds.

  • FACP will indicate with alarm when a sufficient amount of heat has been applied. LED indicator will continuously flash while detector is in alarm.

• PAD100-CD, PAD200-PCD, PAD200-PCHD: Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Use the Home Safeguard Model HO-CO2 Aerosol with Home Safeguard Model Versa-Test Head VT1 or the SDI Solo C6 Aerosol with SDI Solo 330 Dispenser as acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
  NOTICE: NEVER USE EXHAUST FROM VEHICLE TO TEST CO PORTION OF DETECTOR. EXHAUST MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO DETECTOR AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

Maintenance

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 void.

• If the detector does not work properly, do not try and fix it yourself. This will void your warranty. For techincal 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 detector.

• 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 remodeling.

• The detector cannot detect smoke when the dust cover is in place.

• Never use an open flame of any kind to test your device. 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.

• 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 purpose.

• 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 immediately. Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer for replacement, see LIMITED WARRANTY.

• For technical assistance, contact Potter Electrical Signal Company at 1-866-956-1211

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.

The below examples (FIGURE 8 and  illustrate a PAD device’s dip switch settings. The first example illustrates a device not addressed where all dip switch s
