Addressable Photoelectric Detectors
for the FireWarden Series

General

The NP-100(A), NP-100T(A) and NP-100R(A) addressable,
low-profile plug-in photoelectric detectors use a state-of-the­art photoelectric sensing chamber with communications to
provide open area protection and are used exclusively with
NOTIFIER’s FireWarden Series (FireWarden-100-2 and Fire-
Warden-50) and Spartan (NSP-25) Addressable Fire Alarm
Control Panels (FACPs). The NP-100T(A) adds thermal sen­sors that will alarm at a fixed temperature of 135°F (57°C).
Since these detectors are addressable, they 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).
The NP-100R(A) is a remote test capable detector for use with
DNR(A)/DNRW duct smoke detector housings.

Addressable

Features

SLC loop

• Two-wire loop connection.

• Unit uses base for wiring.

Addressing

• Addressable by device.

• Rotary, decimal addressing: 01 – 99 with FireWarden-100-2
and NSP-25, and 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 4,000 feet-per-minute (20 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.

• 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 — included).

Other system features

• Fully coated circuit boards and superior RF/transient pro­tection.

• 94-V0 plastic flammability rating.

• Low standby current.

Options

• Remote LED output connection, PN RA100Z(A).

Applications

Use photoelectric detectors in life-safety applications to pro­vide a broad range of fire-sensing capability, especially where
smoldering fires are anticipated. Ionization detectors are often
better than photoelectric detectors at sensing fast, flaming
fires.

Construction

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

Installation

NP-100(A) series 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. NP-100R(A)
mounts in a DNR(A)/DNRW duct detector housing.

Operation

Each NP-100(A) series detector uses one of 99 possible
addresses on the FireWarden-100-2 and NSP-25, or one of 50
possible addresses on the FireWarden-50 Signaling Line Cir­cuit (SLC). It responds to regular polls from the system and
reports its type and status.

The addressable photoelectric sensor in the NP-100(A) series
has a unique unipolar chamberthat responds quickly and uni­formly to a broad range of smoke conditions. It can withstand
wind gusts up to 4,000 feet-per-minute (20 m/sec.) without
sending an alarm level signal. Because of its unipolar cham­ber, the NP-100(A) series is approximately two times more
responsive than most photoelectric sensors. This makes it a
more stable detector.

Made in the U.S. A.

Detector Sensitivity Test

Each detector can have its sensitivity tested (required per
NFPA 72, Chapter 14 on Inspection, Testing and Maintenance)
when installed/connected to a FireWarden-100-2 or FireWar­den-50 addressable fire alarm control panel. The results of the
sensitivity test can be printed off the FireWarden-100-2 or Fire­Warden-50 for record keeping.
