FW511 Smoke Detector

DESCRIPTION

The FW511 is an intelligent Smoke Detector used with the FW500 Detector Base, is a UL listed component according to UL 268 and ULC-S529 for Fire Protective Signaling Systems for indoor use. It features a slim design which combines visual appeal with a high standard of reliability. It responds quickly and dependably to a broad range of fires. The detector has a Microcontroller Unit (MCU), performing comprehensive self-diagnostic tests and result analysis. The FW511 is intelligent, addressable, and takes one address on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) of the fire alarm control panel.

ATTENTION

The products must be installed in accordance with NFPA 72,

CAN/ULC-S524, and/or Canadian Electrical Code depending on country of installation. Check information of equipment used in the system by other manufacturers for any guidelines or restrictions.

The detector should never be installed in the following locations: areas with excessive exhaust fumes, kitchen areas, near fireplaces, furnace rooms, etc. Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

3. Set the detector address (1-252). Use the hand-

held Programmer ReadWritor FW411. Refer to the FW411 Manual.

4. Put the detector onto it’s base and secure it into

position by turning clockwise.

5. Apply power to the control unit to activate the

SLC.

TESTING

1. Before testing, inform the proper authorities that

the system is undergoing maintenance and will temporarily be put out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.

2. Make sure the indicator LED on the detector’s

surface is flashing. Failure to flash indicates a nonfunctioning detector or a faulty wiring. Check the wiring and remount the detector.

3. Go/No Go Field Test: Use the aerosol, Solo A4.

The LED on FW511 should latch steady-on and the system should go into alarm.

4. Once the testing is completed, set the system back

to normal operation and inform proper authorities.

MAINTENANCE

The detector needs to be tested on a regular basis. Refer to the Testing section for more information about the procedure. The detector has an automaticdrift-compensation feature to provide accuratesensitivity detection. When the drift is out of range, the “Init.Dev_Bad” trouble will be displayed on the FACP, which means the sensitivity may be outside the limits and the detector needs cleaning.

1. Before cleaning, notify the proper authorities that

the system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service.

2. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.

3. Remove the detector to be cleaned from the

system.

4. Remove the detector cover and the maze cover.

5. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to

remove dust and debris from the maze.

6. Reinstall the detector.

7. Test the detector as described in the Testing

section.

8. Notify the proper authorities that the system is

back on line.
