FAP-440 Analog Detectors
www.boschsecurity.com
The FAP 440 Analog Detectors are open-area smoke detectors of which some models are enhanced with heat or heat and CO sensors. These detectors work with the FPA 1000 Analog Addressable Fire Panels.
Use these detectors with the FAA 440 bases to provide general life safety and property protection.
Functions
Address Range
The FAP 440 Analog Detectors have a valid address range from 1 to 254 which is set by rotary switches on the back of each detector.
Indicator LED
The detector head has a multi color LED to indicate status. To verify power to the detector and functioning communication of the analog addressable loop, the LED indicator flashes green when operating normally (polling). Through panel parameter setting, it is possible to turn on or off operation of the polling indicator. In the event of an alarm condition, the detector LED will always show a steady red light.
uSmoke threshold is adjustable and automatically compensated
uRotary switch addressing
uFlexible work modes determined by the control panel
uSelectable base locking mechanism prevents malicious removal of the detector
uMulti criteria or multi sensor technology reduces false alarms
Modular Construction
These detectors are part of a two piece modular design for detector assemblies. An FAP 440 Analog Detector attaches to an FAA 440 Family base. The base’s security locking tab prevents any unauthorized detector removal from the base.
Advanced technology for false alarm reduction
Multi sensor detector: The multi sensor detector contains a photoelectric smoke sensor and a heat sensor. Either sensor can detect a fire and activate an alarm signal. The smoke threshold is adjustable (see Sensitivity Calibration and Compensation below) while the heat sensor’s threshold is set at 135°F. Multi-criteria detector: The multi criteria detector also contains smoke and heat sensors that work independently of each other, but in conjunction with the CO sensor. In this model, an alarm signal will be activated by either one or both of the sensors only if the CO level is also exceeded.

Notice
Carbon monoxide sensors:
Detectors that contain carbon monoxide (CO) sensors must not be used as stand-alone CO detectors. The CO sensor is supplied to confirm the presence of CO as a by-product of combustion thereby reducing false alarms, but not to confirm the presence of CO as a hazardous gas.
Programming
Local programming is carried out at the panel keypad or by computer through a Web browser. Remote programming is carried out through a Web browser.
Sensitivity Calibration and Compensation
The sensitivity of the smoke sensor is programmable with 12 levels from which to choose. Throughout its normal life cycle, the smoke detector monitors itself against its factory calibrated level and periodically compensates itself to keep the sensitivity at its programmed level. When the detector is excessively contaminated, this condition will be annunciated at the control panel.

Mounting Considerations
Detectors are typically mounted on the ceiling. However, if detectors are mounted on a wall, they must be at least 4 in. (10.2 cm), but no more than 12 in. (30.5 cm), below the ceiling. When other devices containing magnets or producing magnetic fields (for example, loudspeakers) are present in the
area, the base must be at least 1 ft (30 cm) from these devices to prevent unwanted activation of the test switch.
For UL Listing requirements, the spacing between smoke detectors should be no more than 30 ft (9.14 m).
Wiring Considerations
The control panel communicates to the detectors via the analog addressable loop (SLC), which allows the use of standard non twisted, non shielded wiring.
The following wire gauges were tested and approved:

Maximum length |
18 AWG (ISO 0.75 mm2) |
4000 ft (1200 m) |
16 AWG (ISO 1.5 mm2) |

14 AWG (ISO 2.5 mm2) |
7200 ft (2200 m) |
12 AWG (ISO 4 mm2) |
9850 ft (3000 m) |
Remote Indicator
If a remote indicator is used in the circuit, it must be no more than 10 ft (3 m) from the base.
