GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system
installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au­thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when
installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA);
see NFPA 72.

Model CP355 intelligent ionization sensor uses a state-of-the-art sensing cham­ber. This sensor is designed to provide open area protection and is intended
for use with compatible control panels only.

Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication.
Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional accessory (Part
No. RA400Z).

The CP355 requires compatible addressable communications to function
properly. Connect this sensor to listed-compatible control panels only.

SPACING

Fire-Lite recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low
air flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart. For
specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special appli­cations, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector Application Guide,
available from Fire-Lite.

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code,
applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should
be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system trouble-shooting. Im­proper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the
event of a fire.

Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.

1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the wiring diagram, see
Figure 1.

2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 2.

3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base
while turning it clockwise to secure it in place.

4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and
activate the communication line.

5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

6. Tamper-Resistance

Model CP355 includes a tamper-resistant capability that prevents its

removal from the bracket without the use of a tool. Refer to the base
manual for details on making use of this capability.

7. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the system.

8. See Figure 3. Test the sensor by positioning a test magnet against the sen-

sor plastic in the magnet test area. The alarm level should be recognized
at the panel and the LED controlled by communication command from
the panel.

9. Reset the sensor by communication command from the panel.

Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during
shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke.
Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.

TESTING

Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance.
However, before testing, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector
system is undergoing maintenance and the system will be temporarily out
of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent
unwanted alarms.

Testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors
offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with
NFPA 72.

Test the sensors as follows:

A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)

This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test mag-

net electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the
sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.

1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.

2. The sensor should alarm the panel.
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor

status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs

to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical docu-

mentation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm.

B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501)

The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry

testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as de­scribed in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator,
apply aerosol until the panel alarms. Additionally, canned aerosol simu­lated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be used for smoke entry testing
of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol smoke product is
the Smoke Detector Tester model 25S available from Home Safeguard
Industries. When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the
smoke detector to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s published
instructions for proper use of the canned smoke agent.

Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by
manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long term adverse
effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer’s
published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements.

A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under
CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced.
When testing is complete, restore the system to the normal operation and no­tify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

FIGURE 3. TEST MAGNET POSITIONING:

CLEANING

Before cleaning, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance and will be temporarily out of service. Disable the system to
prevent unwanted alarms.

1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.

2. Remove the sensor cover. Press firmly on each of the four removal tabs
that hold the cover in place.

3. Vacuum the outside of the screen carefully. If further cleaning is required,
continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 5.

4. Use clean, compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing
chamber.

5. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently
pushing it until it locks into place.

6. Reinstall the detector.

7. Test the detector as described in TESTING.

8. Reconnect disabled circuits.

9. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING SMOKE DETECTOR GUARDS

Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combina­tion has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
