Z630-3 Conventional Optical Smoke Detector

2435-01

Brief description

The Conventional Optical Smoke Detector provides an
early response to a wide range of slow burning to
smouldering fires, and provides reliable sensing for
most conventional fire alarm applications. The detectors
aesthetic design and proven stability in air movements
associated with air conditioning systems, have made it
an ideal selection for modern building interiors.

Manufacturer traceability

A barcode label is affixed to each product (see example
below). This label reflects, amongst other things, the date of
manufacture of the product in the form YYDDD.

These numbers are interpreted as follows:
YY = year of manufacture
DDD = day of manufacture
For example the numbers 07134 would indicate that the

product was manufactured on the 134th day of the year 2007,
that is 14

th

May 2007.

Installation instructions

Note: No wiring is required during detector installation.

Refer to base datasheet for line wiring installation. All
installation should be in accordance with the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

Refer to Figure 1. The detector attaches to compatible
bases with a plug-and-twist action as follows:

1. Align the detector with the base and turn it slowly

until the location lugs and grooves mate, allowing
the detector to slide completely into the base.

2. Rotate the detector clockwise until it locks. To

remove the unit from the base, perform these steps
in reverse order.

Note: To prevent unauthorized removal, a plastic breakout

tab is provided in the detector housing. Once the
breakout tab is removed the detector can only be
released by use of a special tool.

Functional test

3. Prior to initial testing remove the yellow plastic dust

cover from the detector and notify the proper
authorities that the fire alarm system is undergoing
maintenance and will be temporarily out of service.

Refer to local codes prior to testing.

Perform a functional test using an aerosol detector
tester.

4. An indent is provided on the detector exterior for

application of Zone number labelling to allow easy
zone identification.

Warnings: This device detects smoke from slow burning

to smouldering fires, and should only be used
as part of a broad-based life safety system.
For further information consult your local fire
protection specialist.

5. For head out continuity, a diode base must be used

and zone wiring must be terminated with a suitable
end of line (EOL) component. The choice of EOL is
dependant on the control panel used (refer to
Control Panel datasheet). For Control panels
without a head out facility, an active end of line unit
may be used.

Maintenance should be planned in

accordance with the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction.

Cleaning

Refer to Figure 1.

1. Refer to local codes prior to cleaning.

2. Remove housing screws and the exterior. Remove

the optic chamber by releasing the catch on the
edge of the chamber and twisting the chamber out.
Care should be taken not to damage the insect
mesh window during this operation.

3. Clean the inside of the chamber using compressed

air.

4. Clean the optics and insect mesh windows using

alcohol and cotton buds.

5. Reassemble optic chamber and detector.

6. Check device is functioning correctly.

7. If the device is not functioning correctly, return to

your supplier.
