tyco PG9936 Smoke and Heat Detector Instruction Manual

Introduction

The PG9936/PG8936/PG4936 is a wireless photoelectric smoke and heat detector with a fixed temperature and rate of rise heat detector, and an internal piezoelectric alarm.
The following versions are available:

Compatible Devices

This smoke detector is compatible with UL/ULC Listed DSC Wireless Control Panels and DSC Wireless Receivers using PowerG Technology, PowerSeries Neo and iotega platform 3.

NOTE:  For UL/ULC installations use this device only in conjunction with compatible DSC wireless receivers: HS2128, HS2064, HS2032, HS2016 control units when connected to HSM2HOST9 wireless receiver, HS2LCDRF(P)9, HS2ICNRF(P9 Keypads with integrated receiver, PG9920 repeater and Wireless Alarm Systems WS90019,
and WS900-29. Transmissions occur at approximately 915 MHz (912 MHz to 919 MHz).

Operation

Approximately every 7 to 8 seconds the unit tests for a smoke or heat alarm condition. During this sequence the unit also performs self diagnostics, and checks for tampers and faults. During normal operation the green LED flashes every 60 seconds and the sounder does not sound.
Smoke Alarm
The smoke detector alarms when the signal level exceeds the “alarm” threshold and automatically restores when the signal level falls below the alarm “restore” threshold. During an alarm the red LED flashes once per second and the sounder sounds the evacuation temporal pattern.
Alarm Silencing
This smoke alarm is provided with an automatically resettable alarm silencing feature. When the sensor is in alarm, press the Test/Silence/Reset button to silence the local annunciation of the alarm and transmit an alarm restore event to the control panel. The red LED flashes once per second for up to 7 minutes, to indicate the alarm has been silenced.
After an alarm the red LED will flash once every 4 seconds to indicate an alarm in memory.
The alarm silence feature has a fixed time setting that desensitizes the smoke alarm for 7 minutes.
Alarm silencing does not disable the smoke alarm but rather reduces its smoke sensitivity. Following the silenced period the smoke alarm restores automatically to its intended operation. If smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, it remains in alarm, or may return to the alarm state quickly.
Detector Trouble
When the detector has a general fault, the yellow LED blinks once every four seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. After 4 hours, the panel will display a fire trouble message.

Detector Cleaning Required
When the detector is contaminated, the yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning the detector. After 4 hours, the panel displays a message fire clean.
Heat Alarm
The heat detector (cULus versions only) alarms when the heat signal level exceeds the heat alarm threshold (135 ºF / 58 ºC); and will automatically restore when the heat signal level falls below the heat alarm threshold (restore). The detector also goes into a heat alarm state when there is a rapid increase in the temperature over a short period of time. During an alarm the LED flashes 1/second and the sounder sounds the evacuation temporal pattern.
Tamper
The removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a “tamper” transmission. The tamper condition is restored after the detector is mounted on the plate.

Wireless Transmissions

A supervisory message is transmitted at 64 minute intervals for the PG9936 and 12-minute intervals for the PG8936/PG4936 models. If the signal is not received the control panel determines that the detector is missing.
The detector transmits the following:

• Alarm / Alarm Restore  – (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted at time of occurrence.
  NOTE:  During an alarm condition, the detector sends an alarm event to the control panel.
  When the condition is restored, the detector sends an alarm restore event to the panel and sets the alarm restore indicator. The red LED blinks once every 4 seconds until the Alarm in memory is cleared. You can clear the alarm restore indicator from the control panel, or press and hold the test button for 5 seconds.

• Tamper / Tamper Restore – (tamper switch activated) 10 second maximum delay on restore before transmission.

• Low Battery – (battery voltage falls below threshold). Battery voltage is tested & transmitted at the time of a supervisory or other transmissions.

• Trouble – (detector fault or sensor compensation limit reached). Troubles are transmitted at the time of occurrence (one trouble per supervisory interval).

Batteries

The wireless smoke heat alarm is powered by 3 AAA Duracell Procell PC2400 or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (included). The detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel, which displays the detector’s ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector blinks every 12 seconds. The detector’s sounder chirps every 48 seconds and the yellow LED continues to blink until the batteries are replaced. Pressing the hush button silences the chirps for 12 hours, if no other trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced with new batteries when the chirps begin.
At low battery, the test button is disabled. An alternative test method is to use an aerosol test gas such as ‘Solo A10 smoke detector tester’. Shake the can well, aim it at the smoke detector and spray a short burst (no more than 1 sec) at the detector. If the alarm does not sound, repeat every 10 seconds until alarm sounds or for a maximum of 1 minute.
NOTE:  If the alarm does not sound, contact the installer or dealer for service.

Battery Installation and Replacement

CAUTION:  Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
To replace batteries, complete the following steps:

• Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise.
  Carefully remove batteries by lifting from the “+” end using a flathead screwdriver and dispose of them according to local regulations.

• To ensure a proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before installing new batteries.

• Install 3 new AAA batteries, available from a local Duracell or Energizer dealer in the battery compartment. Install the batteries by inserting the “-” end first, then pushing the “+” end down. If the batteries are incorrectly inserted, please remove them carefully by lifting them out from the “+” end and correctly re-inserting them.

• Re-install the detector on its mounting base by turning the detector clockwise until the mating marks align.

• After the power-up sequence, the green LED should blink once every 60 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the batteries are not installed correctly, the detector will not operate and the batteries may be damaged. If the detector does not power up, check that the batteries are installed correctly and fully charged

• Test the detector as described later.

CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

Installation Instructions

The PGx936 Series wireless smoke detector shall be installed and used within an environment that provides the pollution degree max 2 and over voltages category II in non- hazardous locations, indoor only. The equipment is designed to be installed by SERVICE PERSONS only; (SERVICE PERSON is defined as a person having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons).

1. Smoke Detector Placement

Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms. It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not protected by the required units. On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1 m (30 ft) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC- S553 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.

• Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
• Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
• Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
• Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38 ºC (100 ºF) or falls below 5 ºC (41 ºF).
• Smoke detectors must always be installed in USA in accordance with Chapter 29 of NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code: 29.5.1.1.

Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, approved single and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

1. In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.
2. Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21 ft) of any door to a sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel.
3. On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.
4. On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
5. In the living areas of a guest suite.
6. In the living areas of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility).
   NOTE:  In Australia the device shall not be installed in locations where the normal ambient temperature is lower than 5 ºC or higher than 45 ºC.

2. Mount Smoke Detector Backplate
NOTE:  The alarm device should only be installed by a competent engineer or technician.
Smoke detectors are not to be used with smoke detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Once a suitable location is found, mount the detector backplate. Install the mounting base on the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required. Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.

3. Mounting
Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base. The detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from the mounting base tamper release tab. Then turn the detector clockwise until it clicks into place.
If there is a need to activate the built- in anti-tamper lock, carefully remove the breakaway tab on the backplace as shown in the following figure.

4. Device Enrollment
The 7-digit serial number located on the back of the smoke detector housing must be enrolled on the alarm systems control panel. See the Receiver Installation Manual and follow the enrollment procedure. For placement tests remove the detector from its backplate for one second (tamper) and then reattach. Wait at least 30 seconds for the test result before activating again.
A general description of the procedure is provided in the following flow chart:

Step Procedure

1. See the Installation Manual for the alarm system that the device is being enrolled on, to ensure that the proper steps are used.

2. Enter the Device Enrollment option through the specified method and select the appropriate option to add the new device.

3. Enroll the device by inserting the batteries to power up the device and enter the Device
   ID. For example, ID No. 202-XXXX.
   NOTE:  When enrolling the PGx936 detector to DSC control panels (see Compatible Devices), the detector will be enrolled as a Smoke and Heat detector ID 201xxxx,
   and labeled Smoke and Heat in the panel.

4. Select the desired Zone Number.

5. Configure any device parameters that are required. Enter the DEV SETTINGS menu and select the required options to configure the detector:

6. 7. Mount and test the detector. See Smoke Detector Unit Test for information on testing the device. In addition, see the alarm systems Installation Manual that the device is enrolled on for other test procedures that are required.

5. Test Unit
NOTE:  The central monitoring station if used, should be notified prior to the test being generated.
This prevents a false alarm and an unnecessary response from the central monitoring station.
Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds minimum. Alarm activation is indicated by the flashing red LED, the sounder, and transmission of the alarm signal to the control panel.
The detector restores to normal when the test button is released.
NOTE:  Allow a minimum of 20 seconds after power up and after test, alarm or tamper restore activations.
NOTE:  If the detector is in one of the following states when a test is initiated; it will not enter an alarm state:

• Compensation Trouble
• Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat alarm

Owner’s Instructions

Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is recommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit

1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers, and in a cool and well ventilated area? Cleaning the unit with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3.  Are hazardous materials for example, matches out of the reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean, and in good working order? If in doubt, have a professional evaluation.

Family Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly.
Because of this, it is very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.

• Every family member should participate in the escape plan.
• Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
• It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior door. Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and that the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for their rescue should be developed. This plan includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided, as well as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors in the winter and that outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.
• The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted for; for example, across the street or at a neighbor’s house.
• Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue belongings or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house; wait for the Fire Department.
• Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when there are more or fewer family members in the home or if there are changes to the house.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
• It is recommended that you contact your local Fire Department and request further information on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

Testing Your Smoke Detector

Follow the test procedure described here or contact your smoke detector dealer or installer for testing instructions. It is recommended to test the entire alarm system at least once a week to verify the operation of all system functions.
Smoke Detector Unit Test
Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds, the sounder makes chirping noises during this time. Press the button until the unit alarm sounds, an alarm should be sent to the control panel. When the button is released, the alarm should cease. If this does not occur, ensure batteries are the correct type, in good condition and are installed correctly.
Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector, check the unit’s sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. To test the sensing chamber, use an aerosol test gas such as ‘Solo A10 smoke detector tester’. Shake the can well, aim it at the smoke detector and spray a short burst (no more than 1 second) at the detector. If the alarm does not sound, repeat every 10 seconds until alarm sounds or for a maximum of 1 minute. If the smoke detector does not function properly, call your smoke detector installer or dealer for service.

Smoke Detector Test
Before you test, complete the following steps:

1. Insert the battery and then mount the detector on the bracket before conducting the smoke detector test.

2. After the battery is inserted, wait 2 minutes before testing it. The detector enters into Local Diagnostic Test Mode for 15 minutes.

4. It is recommended to perform the Periodic Test and use either the Installer code (Installer Diagnostic Mode) or the User code (User Diagnostic Mode) to test.
   CAUTION:  The diagnostic test cannot be performed when the tamper is open.

Press and hold the test button for 2 seconds. When the button is released, the following sequence of events occur, the Red LED lights for 0.5 s > off for 0.5 s.
This is followed by 2 loud alarm beeps and at the same time the red LED flashes. In test mode, the detector tests smoke, heat, and battery functions.
If the detector is in diagnostic mode, the detector performs the diagnostic test as described below.

Sensitivity Indicating Means
If the detector is indicating ‘Detector Dirty’ with a Yellow LED flash every 8 seconds, a chirp every 48 seconds and a fire clean message on the panel, the detector’s in built automatic drift compensation feature is no longer able to compensate for dust and dirt accumulation and may no longer be within the marked sensitivity. If the detector is indicating ‘Normal’ with Green LED flash every 60 seconds it is within the marked sensitivity range.
NOTE:  If the panel dispays the fire clean message after cleaning, call the installer or dealer for service.

Diagnostic Test
The following sequence of events occur during a diagnostic test:
A. The detector performs a link quality test.
Note:  The detector must be in local or diagnostic mode to perform the link quality test.
In diagnostic mode, if you press the test button for more than 6 seconds, an alarm message is sent to the panel and a Temporal-3 alarm signal is sounded. After this sequence
is completed, the panel responds by sending an “Alarm in Memory” message to the device.
B. At the end of the diagnostic test the LED blinks three times. The following table indicates the received signal strength.

IMPORTANT!  Reliable reception must be confirmed. Therefore, “poor” signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a “poor” signal from the device, re-locate it and re-test until a “good” or “strong” signal strength is received. For UL/CUL installations, the test results must be “strong”. See the alarm systems installation guide for detailed diagnostic tests.

Owner’s Maintenance

The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance. If the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brush attachment. If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with soapy water.
Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
You may only remove detector from backplate to replace batteries if not serviced by installer. When replacing the batteries, follow the instructions specified in the Installation
Instructions.
Never paint the unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering the unit. If you are planning renovations or repainting, take precautions to avoid dust, paint or chemical contamination to the detector.
If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels of dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require service; contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
Testing and maintenance procedures shall be in accordance with CAN/ULC-S552-14.

Smoke Detectors: Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors.
Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Warning:  Digital Security Controls recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform as expected.
