1.0 Overview
The D341/D342 Air Duct Smoke Detector Housings
are designed to mount to heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) system ducts to monitor the
presence of smoke in the conditioned air. These
housings work with D285DH Photoelectric Detectors
and D286 Ionization Smoke Detectors (provided
separately) for general property protection.
The D341/D342 combines with an efficient housing
design that samples the air passing through a duct and
allows the detection of a potentially hazardous
condition. When smoke is detected, the detector sends
an alarm signal to the control panel that initiates the
necessary action to shut off fans and blowers or to
change over to other air handling systems.
The D341/D342 operates on 24 VDC, 24 VAC, 120
VAC, 220 VAC, or 240 VAC. Alarm and trouble relay
contacts are provided for the control panel interface. In
addition, two auxiliary Form “C” alarm relay contacts
are available for other functions such as fan shutdown.
Test the system by placing an external magnet on the
detector housing or switching a signal from a remote
test or indicator plate.
Reset the system by shutting down power and placing
a magnet on the detector housing, or by sending a
signal from the remote test or indicator plate.

3.0 Assembly
The D341/D342 includes:
• One housing, power card, and cover assembly
• Two #10-24 x 1 in. machine screws for mounting
• Two #10-24 jack nuts
• One exhaust tube
• Two tube clamps with four screws
• Two foam gaskets
• Two air filters
• One drilling template
• One cover gasket
The D341I/P and D342I/P also include a head and 1.5
ft (0.46 m) sample tube.
For example, you need a 7 ft (2.13 m) sample tube.
Combine a 3 ft (0.91 m) sample tube and a 5 ft (1.52
m) sample tube. Cut 1 ft (30.48 cm) from the narrow
end.
Sample tubes that are more than 3 ft (0.91 m) must be
supported at the end opposite the duct detector. The
support hole should be 1 in. to 2 in. (2.5 cm to 5 cm)
below the entry hole to allow for possible moisture
drainage (refer to Figure 2). Seal the gap between duct
and sample tube.
Figure 2: Sample Tube Support Hole
4.0 Sample Tubes
Sample tubes must extend across the width of the duct.
These tubes are available in three sizes:
• D344-1.5 (1.5 ft [0.46 m])
• D344-3 (3 ft [0.91 m])
• D344-5 (5 ft [1.52 m])
Sample tubes include an end plug that must be
installed in the narrow end (refer to Figure 1).
Figure 1: Sample Tube
12
1 - Set screw 2 - End plug
A sample tube’s maximum length is 10 ft (3.05 m); its
minimum length is 1 ft (30.48 cm). You can join or cut
sample tubes to make different lengths.
Sample tubes must have at least 12 sample
holes within the duct. Do not cut sample
tubes to less than 12 sample holes.
1 - 1 in. to 2 in. (2.5 cm to 5 cm)
You can remove a maximum of 6 in. (15 cm) from the
D344-1.5 for 1 ft (0.30 m) duct installations. If using the
D344-1.5 in installations where the duct width is
between 12 in. (30.5 cm) and 18 in. (45.7 cm), cover
some of the sample holes. There are 19 sample holes in
the D344-1.5, but only 12 of them are needed for
normal installation. Depending on the length, you
might need to cover some of the holes with duct tape.
Use even spacing when you cover sample holes. This
allows for an even sample across the width of the duct
(refer to Figure 3).
Figure 3: Covering Sample Tube Holes

To create a new sample tubes by combining two tubes:
1. Remove the roll pin and set screw from one tube.
The D341/D342 can be mounted in any direction in
90° increments without regard to air flow direction
(refer to Figure 5).
Verify the duct air flow and velocity.
The D341/D342 is designed for use in air handling
systems that have air velocities between 300 ft/min and
4000 ft/min (1.52 m/c to 20.3 m/c). Check the HVAC
engineering specifications to ensure the air velocity in
the duct falls within these parameters. If necessary, use
a velocity meter to check the air velocity in the duct.
5.1 Selecting a Mounting Location
Avoid stratification and dead air space when taking a
representative air sample. These conditions can be
caused by return duct openings, sharp turns,
connections, and long uninterrupted runs.
Place the duct smoke detectors in a range of six to ten
times the width of the duct from any uninterrupted run.
Refer to Figure 4 for a typical duct detector placement.

1. Locate the mounting template and remove it from
its backing (refer to Figure 6).
2. Place the mounting template over the desired
location on the duct (refer to Figure 7).
3. Drill out the required holes (two) and remove any
remaining debris.
4. Remove the template after the drilling is complete.
5. Place a #10-24 jack nut in each of the two 3/8 in.
(9.5 mm) holes (refer to Figure 8).
6. Insert the #10-24 x 1 in. machine screws into the
jack nuts and tighten the screws firmly. This
attaches the jack nuts to the duct. You might need
to hold the jack nuts with an installer wrench or a
pair of pliers while tightening the screws. This stops
the jack nut from spinning in the hole. Remove the
screws and set them aside for later use.
10. Note the direction of the airflow in the duct. Place
the sample tube so the sampling holes face into the
air flow (refer to Figure 12).
11. Ensure the exhaust tube is downwind from the
sample tube (refer to Figure 13).

12. Insert the sample and exhaust tubes into the
housing. The sample tube holes must face into the
air flow. The alignment pins on the tubes must seat
into the housing. Secure the tubes in place using
the tube clamps provided (refer to Figure 14).
13. Place the tube filters over the open ends of the
sample and exhaust tubes (refer to Figure 15).
14. Visually inspect the duct smoke detectors.
NFPA-72 requires a semi-annual visual
inspection. Clean or replace the tube filters
during this inspection. Order part D344-TF
for replacements as needed.
The D341 is designed for a primary power of 24 VAC,
120 VAC, or 24 VDC.

3. When the system is free of alarms, check each
detector to ensure the red LED indicator is flashing
approximately every 4 sec for the D285DH and
every 11 sec for the D286. This verifies the
detector is receiving power and operating properly.
4. Test each detector to ensure it will cause a control
panel alarm. Reset the control panel after each test.
5. Test the detectors by doing one of the following:
a. Place a SMK-TM magnet against the duct
housing’s test point notch located on the front
cover (refer to Figure 29).

8.0 Testing
Verify air flow to ensure the system is operating
properly. Use a manometer to verify the correct
velocity pressure readings ranging 300 ft/min to 4000
ft/min (1.52 m/s to 20.3 m/s). Ensure the water
pressure differential between the sampling tubes ranges
from 0.01 in. (0.25 mm) to 1.8 in. (4.57 cm).
1. Check the wiring from the control panel to the last
D341/D342 on each run for proper polarity and
continuity. Ensure each run terminates with an
EOL resistor as specified by the control panel’s
manufacturer.
2. Apply power to the system and check for alarms.
a. Note which smoke detectors are in alarm, if
any, and shut down the system down.
b. Remove these detectors from their duct
housing and recheck the duct housing for
proper wiring. If the problems persist, replace
the affected smoke detectors or swap them
with known good units. This determines if the
problem is caused by the detector or the duct
housing.
c. If there is a system alarm with no detector
alarms present, remove all smoke detectors
and check the wiring at each duct housing. Pay
close attention to the wiring of each EOL
resistor.

When a detector alarms, the red LED indicator
activates and latches in the ON position.
Ensure you clear the alarm before proceeding
to the next detector.
b. Reset the detector by momentarily removing
power or by placing a magnet in the reset
notch located near the rear of the housing
(refer to Figure 30 on page 11).
c. Test and reset duct detectors with the D344-RT
installed by moving the keyswitch to the
appropriate position and observing the Alarm
LED.
6. Check the overall loading of the alarm loop by
measuring the voltage across each EOL resistor.
This voltage should equal or exceed the minimum
specified by the control panel’s manufacturer.
NFPA-72 requires a semi-annual visual
inspection of the duct smoke detectors.
Clean or replace the tube filters during this
inspection. Order part DS294-TF for
replacements as needed.
