Introduction
The FSA-410D is a 4-wire photoelectric smoke alarm with
optional: fixed temperature heat detector, auxiliary form C relay,
and/or remote LED output.
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 remain on to indicate energization of the unit and the
sounder will not sound.
Smoke Alarm
The smoke detector has a nominal fixed alarm sensitivity (refer to
Specifications on back page) and it will go into alarm when the
signal level exceeds the 'alarm' threshold. During an alarm the
LED will shut off, the sounder will sound continuous beeps and
the alarm relay will be activated.
Remote Alarm - Interconnection
Multiple alarms can be connected using the PRM-4W Polarity
Reversal Module. When a fire alarm occurs, the unit will signal the
PRM-4W to reverse the polarity of the 4-wire loop. This will activate the sounders of all units connected on the loop. Refer to the
PRM-2W/4W Installation Manual for installation details.
Smoke - Drift Compensation
The unit 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 unit 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). During an alarm
the LED will shut off. The sounder will sound continuous beeps
and the alarm relay will be activated.
Alarm Restore
When the smoke clears from the unit and the heat signal falls
below the ‘restore’ level, the unit will automatically reset itself.

Installer Instructions
1. Smoke Alarm Placement
On smooth ceilings, units may be spaced 9.1m (30 ft) apart as a
guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling
height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings,
etc. Refer to CAN/ULC-S553-02 for installation recommendations.
Do NOT locate smoke alarms 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, such as
near doors, fans or windows.
Rapid air movement around the
detector may prevent smoke from
entering the unit.
Do NOT locate units in areas of
high humidity.
Do NOT locate units in areas where the temperature rises above
38ºC (100ºF) or falls below 5ºC (41ºF).

detector.
5. Test Unit
Initiate test by pressing the test button for greater than 5 seconds.
Alarm activation is indicated by the LED, the sounder, and the
alarm reporting to the control panel. If the smoke detectors are
inter-connected using model PRM-4W 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.
NOTE: Allow a minimum of 20 seconds between test activations.
NOTE: 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 sounder) on the smoke detector for 1
second and release.
NOTE: 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 FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter for more
information.
6. 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 sounder is chirping.
1. Remove power from the unit, then press and hold the test
button for 30 seconds to power down unit.
2. 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.
3. The LED will flash every 8 seconds for 1 minute. When the
detector stops flashing test the detector to verify normal
operation.
Owners Instructions
Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is
recommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted
and a family escape plan be developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition?
Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If
you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical
appliances or household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers,
and in a cool and well ventilated area? Avoid cleaning the
unit with flammable liquids.
3. Are hazardous materials such as matches out of the reach of
children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly
installed, clean, and in good working order? If in doubt,
have a professional evaluation.
Family Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and
the time it becomes deadly. Because of this, it is very important
that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
• Include every family member when developing the escape
plan.
• Study the possible escape routes from each location within
the house. Since many fires occur at night, give special
attention to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
• It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior door. Consider the following when
making your escape plans:
• Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are
easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and
that the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• Develop specific rescue plans if opening the exit or using the
exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped.
This plan includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, provide an approved fire
ladder or rope, as well as training in its use.
• Keep exits on the ground level clear. Be sure to remove snow
from exterior patio doors in the winter and that outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.
• Have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can
be accounted for; for example, across the street or at a
neighbour’s house.
• Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate
first or attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue belongings or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house; wait for the Fire
Department.
• Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that
should an emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to
do. Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when
there are more or fewer family members in the home or if
there are changes to the house.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
• DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Department and request further information on home fire safety
and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
Testing Your Smoke Alarm
Follow the test procedure described here or contact your smoke
alarm dealer or installer for testing instructions.
DSC recommends that you test the entire alarm system at least
once a week to verify the operation of all system functions.
To test the smoke alarm, press and hold the test button on the
front of the unit for 5 seconds minimum, the sounder initiates a
clicking noise during this time. When the button is pressed, the
unit’s alarm will sound, the LED will shut off and the relay will be
activated. When the button is released, the alarm will cease.
Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke alarm,
check the unit’s sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. To
test the sensing chamber, wave a lit cotton wick or punk stick
around the outside of the unit until a generous amount of
smoke enters the sensing chamber or the unit alarms. If the
smoke detector does not function properly, call your smoke
alarm installer or dealer for service.
Maintenance
The smoke alarm is designed to require minimum maintenance.
If the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brush attachment. If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with soapy water.
Never disassemble the smoke alarm; there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Never paint the unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering the unit. If you are planning
renovations or repainting, contact your installer and ask that the
unit be temporarily removed until work is complete.
If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels
of dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require service;
contact your smoke alarm installer or dealer.
Testing and maintenance procedures shall be in accordance with
the CAN/ULC-S552 standard.

Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a
fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have
been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of
closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of
the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning.
Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may
not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as
smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when
there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury
or death.
Warning: Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but
not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform as expected.
