Conventional Initiating Devices
Overview
The GE photoelectric smoke detector is an interchangable head and
base detector with a light-scattering optical sensor that provides
outstanding stability and excellent response to a wide range of fires.
A pulsed infrared LED light source and a high-speed photodiode
sensing element are housed in an omnidirectional sensing chamber
which is protected by an insect screen. The chamber is not affected
by ambient light. For easy cleaning, the detector features a field-replaceable optical chamber.
The Model 711UT, 721UT and 741UT photoelectric detectors include
integral fixed temperature heat detectors.
GE 700 Series smoke detectors are the industry’s first conventional
self-diagnostic detectors specifically designed for the demands of
commercial and industrial environments. If the detector drifts out of
its UL Listed sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, the alarm
LED flashes once a second to indicate trouble. This meets NFPA 72
field sensitivity testing requirements without the need for external
meters.
Additional diagnostic information is activated by applying a magnet
near the detector’s integral reed switch. This initiates a self-diagnostic routine and provides visual indication of sensitivity level, or
if service is required. The magnet test causes the LED to blink. The
number of blink counts corresponds to a smoke detector sensitivity
range.
And, if they become dirty over time, the 700 Series detectors automatically adjust the alarm threshold through built-in drift compensation.

Engineering Specifications
The GE 700 Series photoelectric smoke detector, is a low-profile, self-diagnostic, two-wire
or four-wire detector that monitors its own sensitivity and operational status. The detector
meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity testing requirements without the need for external meters.
Built-in drift compensation automatically adjust the sensitivity if the detector gets dirty.
Normal sensing occurs every 9 seconds. This rate doubles when a signal exceeding the
alarm threshold value is sensed. Two additional successive signals above the threshold level
initiate an alarm. The patented optical sensing chamber is field replaceable, allowing quick
and easy cleaning and maintenance.
A manually operated switch between terminals 1 and 2 shall establish continuity across the
alarm, initiating circuit at initial installation. The switch automatically open when a detector
head is plugged in. If a detector head is removed from service, the switch will be reset using
a small screwdriver, thus re-establishing circuit continuity.
