EN 54-20 and UL installation
The pipe installation must be designed and verified for compliance with EN 54-20
using PipeCAD software. For more information on PipeCAD, see your PipeCAD
documentation.
EN 54-20 installation
For EN 54-20 compliance the transport time of the last sampling hole shall be
checked following all installation and proven to be less than or equal to that
determined by PipeCAD.
For the installation to comply with EN 54-20 Classes A, B, and C, each sampling
hole must be no less sensitive than 0.62% obs/m.
The calculation can be further refined by leaving a working detector in the
protected area for at least 24 hours at the intended alarm factor for the
installation (this could be done before or after installation). The detector
sensitivity can be read from the Sensitivity figure on the histogram screen of the
Remote software supplied with each detector.
The PipeCAD software will determine the classification of any used configuration.
Commissioning and periodic system tests must involve smoke tests to verify that
the system performs as expected and enters Alarm within the time determined by
PipeCAD from the farthest hole. The detector sensitivity must also be inspected
to ensure it has not radically fallen from the installed figure. If it has changed for
any reason, the new figure must be re-entered into PipeCAD and the
recalculated hole sensitivities must be confirmed to be within the class limits
shown above. The settings of a compliant system should be recorded, as it is
possible by changing certain programmable functions to make the system
noncompliant. If functions are changed, it is recommended that the system is
retested if continuing compliance is in any doubt.
UL installation
Note: UL certified products may also contain additional approvals, e.g. FM3230.
Please refer to the product labels.
UL 268 fire tests were passed with an installation as follows:
Total sampling pipe length: 160 ft. (single pipe)
Number of sampling holes: 10
Worst-case sampling hole sensitivity as indicated by PipeCAD:
1.28% obs/ft.*
Alarm factor: 1
Alarm delay: 0 seconds
These settings gave satisfactory responses to the test fires in 120 seconds or
better. For the purposes of UL 268 compliance, these should be regarded as
worst case values. Layouts should be planned in PipeCAD and the indicated
worst-case hole sensitivity should be better than 1.28% obs/ft.*. Commissioning
vi LaserSense 100 Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook
smoke tests should be perform ed to ensur e th at the far t hest sampling hole from
the detector is capable of generating a fire alarm within 120s of receiving smoke.
* The results should be verified at installation by entering the installed detector's
Fire 1 sensitivity (as indicated in the remote software histogram screen) into the
PipeCAD “Options/Calculation options/Detector sensitivity” field and recalculating
the layout results.

Introduction
This detector is a highly sophisticated next generation high sensitivity aspirating
smoke detection product that provides all the benefits of air sampling high
sensitivity smoke detection, including very early warning. Designed for easy
installation and commissioning, the detector incorporates a patented artificial
intelligence known as ClassiFire, which allows the detector to configure itself to
optimum sensitivity, alarm thresholds, and minimum nuisance alarms for various
environments.
The detector operates by drawing air from a protected space via a supervised
piping network in relatively small areas. The sampled air is passed through a
dust separator (filter) to remove dust and dirt before entering the laser detection
chamber. State-of-the-art electronics are used to analyse the sampled air and
generate a signal representing the level of smoke present.
ClassiFire intelligence also monitors the detector chamber, continually adjusting
the appropriate operating parameters to counteract the neg ati ve effects of any
contamination. Aspirating smoke detectors are unique in being able to provide a
consistent level of protection in a very wide range of environments by
continuously making m i nor adjustments to sensitiv i ty .
Available soft ware for the detector
The following software applications are available for use with the detector:
• Remote: Provided free of charge with every detector, this software package
enables the user to set up and configure the programmable functions of one
or more detectors or command module from a computer connected via an
RS-232 serial cable.
• SenseNET: SenseNET software is used to configure and manage a large
network of detectors with a simple, streamlined graphical user interface from
a computer connected to a detector or command module via an RS-232 serial
cable to RS-485 converter interface.

Introduction
This topic provides information necessary to install the detector system.
To install the detector:
1. Unpack the shipping carton. Ensure that the package contains a CD-ROM,
three ferrite rings, two cable glands, and the unit.
2. Determine the optimum location for the detector.
3. Mount APIC or Relay Card inside the detector, if required.
4. Mount the docking station.
5. Connect the docking station to the sampling pipe network.
6. Mount the detector to the docking station.
Installation should only be done by trained technicians.
Note: Each relay card is supplied with a RF suppression ferrite ring. To ensure
compliance with all relevant EMC requirements, conductors connected to the
fault output (included screen wire) should be wound once around a ferrite.
Installation should be in accordance with applicable installation requirements.
These include:
• NFPA-70, National Electrical Code
• NFPA-72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
• CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1
• CAN/ULC-S524 Installation of Fire Alarm Sy stems
• Any other local, national, or installation requirements or standards.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. All connections should be made with the
power turned off.
Antistatic pr e ca utions
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits. This recommendation must be
followed when removing the equipment case, and during installing and servicing.
Caution: When handling any electric components or printed circuit boards,
antistatic precautions must be followed. Failure to do so may result in component
damage.
Chapter 2: Installation and configuration
LaserSense 100 Aspirating Smoke Detector Inst allers Handbook 9
Electrostatic discharge can be reduced by adhering to the following guidelines:
• Always use conductive or antistatic containers for transportation and storage,
if returning any item.
• Wear a wrist strap while handling devices and ensure that a good ground is
maintained throughout the installation process.
• Never subject a static sensitive device to sliding movement over an
ungrounded surface and avoid any direct contact with the pins or
connections.
• Avoid placing sensitive devices onto plastic or vinyl surfaces.
• Minimise the handling of sensitive devices and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
General installatio n gu idelines
The following is a brief set of guidelines on installing detectors:
• The detector should normally be mounted at a level where there is easy
access to the RS-232 serial port for configuration and programming.
• The exhaust air from the unit must not be impeded in any way. If the unit is
mounted where the air pressure differs from the sampling location (for
example an air duct), then a pipe must be, then a pipe must be routed from
the exhaust port back to the same air pressure zone as the sampling holes.
• Sampling holes should be free from burrs and swarf.
• All signal cables must be suitable for the application. The specific type of
cable will normally depend upon the local fire regulations.
• The unit must not be placed in areas where either the temperature or humidity
is outside the specified operating range.
• The unit should not be placed in close proximity to any equipment expected to
generate high levels of radio frequency signals (such as radio alarms) or units
generating high levels of electrical energy (such as large electric motors or
generators).
