Sensors offer maximum performance when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Model FSP-951-SELFT is a plug-in type smoke sensor that combines a photoelectronic sensing chamber with addressable-analog communications. The sensor transmits an analog representation of smoke density over a communication line to a control panel. Rotary dial switches are provided for setting the sensor’s address. (See Figure 1.)

FIGURE 1. ROTARY ADDRESS SWITCHES

Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. An output is provided for connection to an optional remote LED annunciator (P/N RA100Z).

Notifier panels offer different features sets across different models. As a result, certain features of the photoelectric sensors may be available on some control panels, but not on others. FSP-951-SELFT will support only FlashScan® protocol mode. The possible features available in the photoelectric sensors, if supported by the control panel are:

1. The sensor’s LEDs can operate in three ways–on, off, and blinking­and they can be set to red, green, or amber. This is controlled by the panel.
2. The remote output may be synchronized to the LED operation or controlled independently of the LEDs.
3. Devices are point addressable up to 159 addresses.
4. Yearly maintenance, in accordance with NFPA 72, can use the built-in SelfTest functionality.

Please refer to the operation manual for the UL-listed control panel for specific operations. The photoelectric sensors require compatible addressable communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed- compatible control panels only.

SPACING AND MOUNTING

Notifier recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low airflow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors are 30 feet apart (9.1 m). For specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector   Application Guide, available from Notifier. If using the self-test application,  the FSP-951-SELFT should be placed more than 3ft (914mm) away from any strong air source which is greater than 300 ft./min. (e.g. an air conditioning outlet). Duct Applications: FSP-951-SELFT is not listed for use in ducts. Mounting Note: Units installed on ceilings must remain in a ceiling-oriented position; those mounted on walls must remain in the wall orientation.

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire. Please note that installation distances, wiring styles, and wire gauge requirements may vary for Self-Test sensors in comparison to standard sensors, please refer to the panel’s SLC Wiring documentation for further information.

Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.

1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) as shown in the wiring diagram. (See Figure 2.)
2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches. (See Figure 1.)
3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base while turning it clockwise to secure it in place.
4. After all, sensors have been installed, apply power to the control panel and activate the communication line.
5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke. Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction. The Self-Test function of your Notifier system can determine that all dust covers on the SLC have been removed when you run the Self-Test process in order to prove that there isn’t anything causing a potential obstruction for smoke entry.

FIGURE 2. WIRING DIAGRAM

TAMPER-RESISTANCE

Intelligent photoelectric smoke sensors include a tamper-resistant capability that prevents their removal from the base without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this capability.

TESTING

Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72. The sensor can be self-tested or manually tested as described below.

SELF-TEST TESTING

A. Functional and Smoke-Entry Tests
The Notifier system with Self-Test sensors can carry out both functional tests and smoke entry tests using the Self-Test function. The Self-Test sensor generates a controlled amount of smoke which is directed into the sensing chamber, testing the optical chamber’s response to real smoke. It also measures the amount of time it takes to evacuate smoke from the chamber to determine if there is anything masking smoke entry points on the sensor.

1. Use the associated app and gateway (see Connected Life Safety Services guides).
2. Initiate self-test from the app. Wait at least 30 seconds before communicating with the device; wait at least 90 seconds before moving or re-cycling.
3. Take appropriate action based on the outcome of the testing results. If it has failed, the device should be considered for cleaning or replacement.

NOTE: For safer testing, the fire system can remain active while Self- Test is in progress. The process will delay any alarm input signal from the SLC including pull stations, input modules, and other sensors (not undergoing Self-Test) by a maximum of 30 seconds. Multiple loops and panels may be tested simultaneously.

B.VISUAL INSPECTION

This sensor contains a wireless beacon (only active during the Self-Test process) which is designed to communicate with the Honeywell Connected Life Safety Services app in order to prove the successful completion of the visual inspection of any Self-Test sensor.

1. A range of Self-Test sensors can be placed into a beaconing mode from the supporting app.
2. The App will display all selected Self-Test devices within range of your smartphone and will place the device with the strongest signal at the top of your App display. The App will also provide details on the device address, location, and label. (For further details on the associated app and gateway see Connected Life Safety Services guides).
3. Once the sensor is in the beaconing range of your smartphone, you must verify the completion of the visual inspection of the sensor via the App (recording any remedial action required if necessary). Criteria for successfully passing the visual inspections are available to review in the relevant section of NFPA 72 guidance.
4. If the label of the self-test sensor is incorrect, you can update this on the App (subject to holding the relevant user license), which will upload it to
   the system when you pair the device with the Connected Life Safety Services gateway on completion of the visual inspection.

SELF-TEST TOKENS

If your license requires Self-Test tokens in order to activate the Self-Test process, please refer to your Connected Life Safety Services guides in order to purchase the required volume of tokens to complete testing on your project.

MANUAL TESTING

A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test magnet electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.

1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.
2. The sensor should alarm the panel.
3. Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical documentation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm.

B. Smoke Entry

Sensitivity readings are available through the FACP. Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for proper use. Additionally, canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be used for smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol smoke products include:

When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for proper use of the canned smoke agent.

Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long-term adverse effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer’s published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements. A sensor that fails any of these tests may need to be cleaned as described under CLEANING and retested. When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

CLEANING

Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.

1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Remove the sensor cover by pressing firmly on each of the four removal tabs that hold the cover in place. (See Figure 4.)
3. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning is required continue with Step 4, otherwise, skip to Step 7.
4. Remove the chamber cover/screen assembly by pulling it straight out.
5. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing chamber.
6. Reinstall the chamber cover/screen assembly by sliding the edge over the sensing chamber. Turn until it is firmly in place.
7. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently push it until it locks into place.
8. Reinstall the detector.
9. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
10. Reconnect disabled circuits.
11. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back online.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING SMOKE DETECTOR GUARDS

Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

FIGURE 3. FEATURES OF THE PHOTODETECTOR

FIGURE 4. CLEANING THE PHOTODETECTOR

SPECIAL APPLICATION

When configured at the fire alarm control panel, this detector is capable of operating in a special application mode such that it has a higher sensitivity than is normally allowed by UL 268 for areas where the early warning is important. In this mode, the detector does not comply with the Cooking Nuisance Smoke  Test. Detectors (Sampling ports) set to the special application mode are not suitable for use in areas where cooking appliances may be used. If cooking appliances are used within the protected space, a normal application detector or normal application mode must be used for that area.

special application mode is not for general use and the detector may be more prone to false alarms if used in unsuitable environments. While no list is all-inclusive, some examples of unsuitable environments for special application mode are areas with airborne particulate or aerosols including sawing, drilling, and grinding operations, textile or agricultural processing, or areas with engines that are not vented to the outside. A complete list of aerosol and particulate sources is available in the Annex of  NFPA 72.

Suitable environments for the special application models could include an early warning for hospitals, museums, assisted living, and other areas that do not have airborne particulate or aerosols.

Refer to the fire alarm control panel documentation for information on how to configure the detector for special application mode.
