UL 521 listed for Heat Detectors
This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au- thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.
Before installing sensors, please read the system wiring and installation man- ual thoroughly. This manual provides detailed information on sensor spac-ing, placement, zoning, and special applications. Copies of these manuals are available from Notifier.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Model FST-951-SELFT is a field programmable intelligent sensors that uses a state-of-the-art thermistor sensing circuit for fast response. These sensors are designed to provide open area protection with 50-foot spacing capability as approved by UL 521. The intelligent temperature sensor can be programmed as either a 135°F fixed temperature sensor, a rate of rise and 135°F fixed tem- perature sensor or a 190°F high temperature sensor through the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Its internal Self-Test unit and beaconing capability can test the detector to relevant requirements of NFPA 72.
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication. Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional accessory (Part No. RA100Z). Rotary dial switches are provided for setting the sensor’s address. (See Figure 1.)

FIGURE 1. ROTARY ADDRESS SWITCHES

Notifier panels offer different feature sets across different models. As a result, certain features of the Intelligent Programmable Temperature Sensors may be available on some control panels, but not on others. FST-951-SELFT will sup-port only FlashScan® protocol mode.
The possible features available if supported by the control panel include:

1. The sensor’s LEDs can operate in three ways—on, off, and blinking–and 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 con-trolled independent of the LEDs. Please refer to the operation manual for the UL-listed control unit for specific operation of these models
3. Devices are point addressable up to 159 addresses.
4. The heat sensor operates as a programmable heat detector.
5. Yearly maintenance, in accordance to NFPA 72, can use the built in Self-Test functionality.

Intelligent programmable temperature sensors require compatible addressable communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compat- ible control panels only.

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes and 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 rotary dial 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 unit and activate the communication line.
5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

WIRING DIAGRAM

TAMPER RESISTANCE

Intelligent programmable temperature sensors include a tamper-resistant ca- pability 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. BEFORE

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. Test-ing 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. Heat Test

The Notifier system with Self-Test temperature sensors can carry out a func- tional test using the Self-Test function. It places enough energy into the therm-istor to allow it to register heat and then measures the time it takes to cool down after this heating cycle has been completed.

1. Use the associated app and gateway. (See Connected Life Safety Services guides.
2. Initiate self-test from app. Wait at least 30 seconds before communicating with the device; wait at least 90 seconds before moving or recycling.
3. Take appropriate action based on the outcome of the testing results. If it has failed there may be an issue with the thermistor and 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 in range of your smartphone and will place the device with the strongest signal at the top 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 is available to review in the rel-evant 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. Test Magnet (Model No. M02-04 – optional)

1. Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test area, as shown in Figure 3, to activate the test feature.
2. The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and an-nunciating the panel.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.

B. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)

1. From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away to prevent damage to the cover during testing.
2. The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the de-tector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs fail to light, check the power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.

Detectors that fail these tests may need to be cleaned as described under CLEANING and retested.
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. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing area.
3. Reinstall the detector.
4. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
5. Reconnect disabled circuits.
6. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
