Intelligent Addressable Ionization
Detector for FireWarden Systems

General

The NI-100(A) addressable, low-profile, plug-in ionization
detector uses a state-of-the-art ionization sensing chamber to
provide open-area protection and is used exclusively with
NOTIFIER’s FireWarden Series addressable Fire Alarm Con-
trol Panels (FACPs). The ionization detector is used to sense
products-of-combustion and report the measured level of such
products to the fire alarm control panel. Since this detector is
addressable, it will help emergency personnel quickly locate a
fire during its early stages, potentially saving precious rescue
time while also reducing property damage. Two LEDs on each
sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication.
Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional
accessory, PN RA100Z(A)

Features

SLC loop

• Two-wire loop connection.

• Unit uses base for wiring.

Addressing

• Addressable by device.

• Rotary, decimal addressing: 01 – 99 with FireWarden-100­2, 01 – 50 with FireWarden-50.

Architecture

• Unique single-source, dual-chamber design to respond
quickly and dependably to a broad range of fires.

• Sleek, low-profile design.

• Integral communications and built-in type identification.

• Built-in tamper-resistant feature.

• Removable cover and insect-resistant screen for simple
field cleaning.

Operation

• Withstands air velocities up to 1,200 feet-per-minute (6.1 m/
sec.) without triggering a false alarm.

• Factory preset at 1.5% nominal sensitivity for panel alarm
threshold level.

• Visible LED “blinks” when the unit is addressed (communi­cating with the fire panel) and latches on in alarm.

Mechanicals

• Sealed against back pressure.

• Direct surface mounting or electrical box mounting.

• Base mounts to: single-gang box, 3.5" (8.89 cm) or 4.0"
(10.16 cm) octagonal box, or 4.0" (10.16 cm) square electri­cal box (using a plaster ring).

APPLICATIONS

Use ionization detectors in life-safety applications to provide a
broad range of fire-sensing capability, especially fast, flaming
fires. Where smoldering fires are anticipated, a photoelectric
sensor may provide faster response.

CONSTRUCTION

These detectors are constructed of off-white plastic. NI-100(A)
plug-in, low-profile smoke detectors are designed to commer­cial standards and offer an attractive appearance.

Addressable

Installation

NI-100(A) plug-in detectors use a detachable mounting base
to simplify installation, service and maintenance.

Mount base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which is
at least 1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. For a chart of compatible junction
boxes, see DN-60054.

NOTE: Because of the inherent supervision provided by the SLC
loop, end-of-line resistors are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or
branches are permitted for Style 4 (Class B) wiring.

Operation

Each NI-100(A) uses one of 99 possible addresses on the
FireWarden-100-2 or one of 50 possible addresses on the
FireWarden-50 Series Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). It
responds to regular polls from the system and reports its type
and status.

The NI-100(A) addressable ionization sensor’s unique unipolar
chamber responds quickly and uniformly to a broad range of
smoke conditions and can withstand wind gusts up to 1,200
feet-per-minute (6.01 m/sec.) without sending an alarm level
signal. Because of its unipolar chamber, the NI-100(A) is
approximately two times more responsive than most ionization
sensors. This makes it a more stable detector.
