Installation and Operating Instructions
Read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and use of the
FSA-210 2-Wire Smoke Detector. This instruction sheet is intended to be used
with the Installation Manual of the alarm control panel. All the instructions specified within that manual must be observed.
Introduction
The FSA-210 is a 2-wire photoelectric smoke detector with the
following available options: fixed temperature
heat detector, internal piezoelectric alarm, auxiliary form C
relay, and/or remote LED output. Three versions are available:
US version (UL), Canadian version (ULC) and an International
version (EU).
NOTE: Heat detection based on rate of rise has not been
investigated by UL/ULC.
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 faults. During normal
operation the LED will flash every 50 seconds and the siren will
not sound.
Smoke Alarm
The smoke detector has a nominal fixed alarm sensitivity (refer
to the Specifications on the last page) and it will go into alarm
Installer Instructions
1. Smoke Detector Placement
On smooth ceilings, detectors
may be spaced 9.1M (30 feet)
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, Chapter 11
CAN/ULC-S553-02 or other
appropriate national standards for
installation recommendations.
and rate of rise
when the signal level exceeds the 'alarm' threshold and send
the alarm signal to the control panel. During an alarm the LED
will flash once per second and the siren will sound the evacuation temporal pattern (UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).
Remote Alarm - Interconnection
Multiple detectors (with sirens) can be connected using the
PRM-2W Polarity Reversal Module. When a fire alarm occurs,
the panel will signal the PRM-2W to reverse the polarity of the
2-wire loop. This will activate the sirens of all units connected
on the loop. Refer to the PRM-2W/4W Installation Instructions
for installation details.
Smoke - Drift Compensation
The detector automatically compensates for long-term environmentally induced changes to maintain a constant smoke
sensitivity. When the drift compensation has reached its high
or low limit of adjustment, the detector will go into the trouble state.
Heat Alarm
The heat detector will go into alarm when the heat signal level
exceeds the heat alarm threshold (135ºF/57ºC); and send the
alarm signal to the control panel. The detector will also go into
heat alarm if there is a rapid increase in the temperature over a
short period of time. During an alarm the LED will flash once
per second and the siren will sound the evacuation temporal
pattern (UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).

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, (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 38ºC (100ºF) or falls below 5ºC (41ºF).
Install smoke detectors in accordance with NFPA 72,
Ch. 11: “Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and
on each additional story of the family living unit, including
basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
In new construction, a smoke detector shall also be installed in

each sleeping room.”
2. Mount Smoke Detector Backplate
Mount backplate using screws provided and the appropriate holes on
the mounting plate.
NOTE: Install wiring in accordance
with the appropriate national and
local electrical codes. For UL/ULC
Installations, the power supply must
be supplied from a UL/ULC Listed
alarm control unit.
CAUTION: The dust cover protects
the unit when not in service. Remove dust cover before use.
The EU and International versions, shall be powered from an
acceptable to the local authorities alarm controller.
3. Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagrams in this installation sheet and
those provided in the Installation Manual of the alarm control
panel being used with the unit. Before connecting the unit,
prepare the wires from the electrical box for connection; Do
not use frayed or bent wire.
CAUTION: Do NOT use looped wire under terminals. Break
the wire run, to provide supervision of connections.
When wiring is completed, inspect it and correct any errors
before applying power to the unit. When the wiring has been
thoroughly reviewed, neatly insert the wires into the electrical
box and secure the unit to the mounting plate.
To connect this device use only wiring listed as fit for the purpose.
4. Mounting
Detector Installation
Position the detector on to the base
plate using the detector and base plate
alignment marks. Press the detector

gently in place while rotating the detector clockwise until the detector snaps
into place. Remove the side tab from
the locking tab to lock in place (optional).
Removal: If the side tab is removed to lock the detector,
depress tab with a small flat blade screwdriver and rotate
detector counter-clockwise until the alignment marks line up.
Remove detector.
5. Test Unit
Initiate test for units without a siren by placing a magnet near
the LED/Test Button for greater than 5 seconds. Initiate test for
units with a siren by pressing the test button for greater than 5
seconds.
Alarm activation is indicated by the LED, the siren, and the
alarm reporting to the Control Panel. If the smoke detectors
are inter-connected using model PRM-2W and a detector is
tested, then all detectors will sound. The detector restores to

normal when the test button is released or when the magnet
is removed.
NOTES: Allow a minimum of 20 seconds between test activations.
If the detector is in one of the following states when a test is
initiated; it will not enter an alarm state.
1. Compensation trouble.
2. Failure of heat or smoke detector.
3. Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat
alarm.
NOTE: Smoke sensitivity of installed detectors can be measured without removal or an alarm being generated using the
FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter.
Test Unit with FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter
To test the unit using the FSD-100, set the test meter up to
read devices as per the instructions supplied with the test
instrument. Depress the test button (or place the FSD-100 on
the outside edge of the plastics beside the test button to activate the reed switch on units without siren) on the smoke
detector for 1 second and release.
NOTES: If the test button is held for 5 seconds or longer, an
alarm will be generated. Move the test meter over the center
of the detector, wait until you hear the test meter beep,
remove the unit and the information can be immediately
reviewed. Please see the instructions supplied with the FSD100 Smoke Detector Test Meter for more information.
Perform the tests one at a time. Performing simultaneous tests
on multiple detectors may trigger an alarm at the control
panel.
6. Removing the Chamber for Cleaning
To clean or replace the smoke chamber the detector must be
opened.
1. Press the 3 tabs on the bottom of the detector outward to
release.
2. Remove the bottom portion which contains the PCB and
the chamber.
3. Place thumb and forefinger on the sides of the chamber in
the locations indicated by the arrows on top of the chamber.
4. Squeeze gently inward and pull up and the chamber will
separate.
5. The removable portion can now be replaced or cleaned.
Cleaning can be done using compressed air. Do not use a
cloth as it may leave particles on the inner wall.
6. Replace the new or cleaned chamber by pressing it down
until it snaps into place. Locate and press the backplate
into the housing making sure the 3 locking tabs are
snapped into their locked position.
7. Compensation Reset
Cleaning, replacement of the smoke sensor, or other changes
may change the background signal/noise of the detector; this
requires the drift compensation be reset. Compensation trouble is one of the faults indicated when the LED indicator is OFF
while the siren is chirping.
• Remove power from the unit, then press and hold the test
button for 30 seconds to power down unit.
• Power up unit while pressing the test button.The LED will
flash; when 5 seconds has elapsed. Release the test button
within 1 second after the fifth LED flash.
• The LED will flash every 8 seconds for 1 minute. When the
detector stops flashing test the detector to verify normal
operation.
