LED indicators: Alarm (red), Trouble (yellow), Power (green)
The SuperDuct four-wire controller coupled with a compatible sensor
make up a SuperDuct four-wire duct smoke detector. The sensor
sends an alarm signal to the controller when smoke is detected in the
HVAC system. Upon receipt of the alarm signal, the controller takes
the appropriate actions to provide early warning of the impending fire
and prevent smoke from circulating throughout the building. The
controller can be configured for a range of operating voltages and
supports one or two compatible sensors.
WARNING: SuperDuct duct smoke detectors are not intended as a
substitute for open area protection.
The controller comprises a plastic housing, a printed circuit board, and
a clear plastic cover. The clear plastic cover is secured to the housing
with a single captive screw for easy access to the wiring terminals.
Knockouts are provided to route wires into the controller housing.
The controller contains no user serviceable parts.
This document provides installation instructions for the following
SuperDuct four-wire controllers:

Installation instructions
Please read these instructions thoroughly before installing. In addition
to this document, important information can be found in Technical
Bulletin P/N 3100685.
Step 1: Mount the controller
Mount the controller on a flat section of HVAC duct or sheet metal as
shown in Figure 1 using the sheet metal screws provided in the
hardware kit. The controller does not have to be mounted next to the
sensor.

Jumper configuration
Set the controller configuration jumpers as described below.
Note: Failure to remove JP1 prevents the controller from indicating a
trouble condition with the sensor connected to J2. It does not prevent
the controller from responding to an alarm signal.

Notes
• If strain relief is required, secure the cable using the cable clamps
provided with the cable kit
• If you are connecting the controller to two sensors, remove JP1
Field wiring
Bring all field wiring into the controller through the knockouts on the
bottom of the housing as shown in Figure 6. Keep all power-limited
wiring in the shaded area and all nonpower-limited wiring in the area
that is not shaded.
Remove the terminal block cover and connect the field wiring as shown
in Figure 8. Replace the terminal block cover when finished.
Note: Maintain a 1/4-inch separation between power-limited and
nonpower-limited wiring at all times.
Testing
After completing the installation, test the controller to ensure that it is
operating correctly before leaving the site. For details, refer to
Technical Bulletin P/N 3100685.
