Notifier FSB-200A, FSB-200SA User Manual

FSB-200(A) and FSB-200S(A)

Single-Ended, Reflector-Type
Addressable Beam Smoke Detector

GENERAL

The Notifier FSB-200 and FSB-200S are intelligent,
addressable reflected beam smoke detectors for protecting
open areas with high and sloping ceilings, and wide-open
areas, where spot-type smoke detectors are difficult to install
and maintain. Ideal applications are atriums, cathedral
ceilings, aircraft hangars, warehouses, sporting arenas,
concert halls, and enclosed parking facilities. They are
compatible with the NFS-3030, NFS2-3030, NFS-640, NFS2­640, and NFS-320 in FlashScan® or CLIP mode, as well as
legacy addressable panels. Installation of the single-ended
reflective design is much quicker than a dual-ended projected
beam detector. Alignment is easily accomplished with an
optical sight and a two-digit signal strength meter incorporated
into the beam detector. Listed for operation from –22°F to
131°F, the FSB-200 and FSB-200S are usable in open area
applications where temperature extremes exceed the design
limits of other types of smoke detection.

The FSB-200 and FSB-200S are a transmitter/receiver unit
and a reflector. When smoke enters the area between the unit
and the reflector it causes a reduction in the signal strength.
When the smoke level (signal strength) reaches the
predetermined threshold, an alarm is activated. The detectors
have four standard sensitivity selections as well as two
Acclimate® settings. When either Acclimate® setting is
selected, the detector’s advanced software algorithms
automatically adjus t to the optimum s ensitivity for the specif ic
environment.

The FSB-200S has an integral sensitivity test feature of a filter
attached to a servomotor inside the detector optics. Activation
of the RTS151 or RTS151KEY remote test stations moves the
filter into the pathway of the light beam, testing the detector’s
sensitivity. This sensitivity test feature allows the user to
quickly and easily meet the annual maintenance and test
requirements of NFPA 72, without physical access to the
detector. The servomotor must be powered by +24 VDC, not
SLC power.

SENSITIVITY SELECTION

The detector has six sensitivity selections (sensitivity settings
are a feature of specific control panels). Each of these
selections is only acceptable over a specific distance
separation between the detector and the reflector per UL 268.
The chart below determines which selections are acceptable
for your installed distance. The sensitivity of the detector can
be set only when the housing is removed and the detector is
not in the fine adjustment step of the alignment mode,
indicated by the illumination of the dual digital display. To set
the sensitivity, depress the sensitivity button one time. See
Switch Locations diagram. Once the switch is pressed, the
digital display will illuminate and read the current sensitivity
setting in percent obscuration. To change the sensitivity,
continue to depress the sensitivity switch until the desired
setting is achieved. The digital display will turn off
automatically if no further switch presses occur.

In addition to the four standard sensitivity selections, the
detector has two Acclimate® settings. When either Acclimate®
setting is chosen the detector will automatically adjust its
sensitivity using advanced software algorithms to select the
optimum sensitivity for the environment. The sensitivity will be
continuously adjusted within the ranges specified in the chart
above.

Total obscuration can be converted to percent per foot,
assuming uniform smoke density for the entire length of the
beam. The chart below converts total obscuration percent per
foot for all acceptable sensitivity settings.
