Photoelectric Smoke Alarm
9000/
120VAC and 220VAC with 9VDC Battery Back-Up
Single/Multiple Station Smoke Alarm
Applications
The 9000/9003 Series of photoelectric smoke alarms is designed for
residential and commercial residential applications, including homes,
apartments, hospitals, hotels and motels, in compliance with UL 217,
UL 1730 applicable IBC/IFC Standards and NFPA 72.
Available in many different models, the 9120/9123 Series is engineered to virtually eliminate nuisance alarms and deliver outstanding
performance wherever reliable fire protection is required. The 9000/
9003 Series is provided with a 9VDC alkaline battery for back-up in
the event building power is lost. The battery impedance is verified
and the alarm provides a low or missing battery warning.
The Gentex 9000/9003 Series provides an exclusive patented three
position test feature that simulates a 0.85% and 3.5% actual smoke
condition in full compliance with NFPA 72 and UL Standards.
Options include self-restoring 135°F integral or isolated heat
thermals and Form A/Form C dry contacts for remote annunciation.
Tandem interconnection of up to 12 units is available on several
models; tandem interconnection of up to 6 units is available on “F”
models, which activate the dry contacts from the tandem wire or a
local alarm.

• Refer to
• 9120/9220 units produce a non-temporal audible alarm and are therefore not intended for locations where the desired action of the occupant(s) is evacuation.
• 9123/9223 units produce a temporal 3 audible alarm. Per NFP

Architect & Engineering Specifications
The Photoelectric Smoke alarm shall be a Gentex Model 9120/9123/9220/9223 or approved equal which shall provide at least the
following features and functions.
1. Nominal sensitivity shall be 2.5%.
2. The alarm shall utilize an infrared LED sensing circuit which pulses in 4 to 5 second intervals when subjected to smoke. After 2
consecutive pulses in smoke, the alarm will activate.
3. The alarm shall have a 9VDC alkaline battery as a back-up in the event building power is lost.
4. The 9VDC battery impedance shall be verified by the circuit of the smoke alarm.
5. The alarm shall provide an indicator when the battery is low in power or high impedance or is missing.
6. The alarm shall provide minimum 5-to-1 signal-to-noise ratio in the optics frame to assure stability of operation in environments
of high RF and transient conditions.
7. The sensing chamber shall be fully screened to prevent entrance of small insects, thus reducing the probability of false alarms.
8. A solid state piezo alarm rated at 90dBA at 10ft.
9. A visual LED monitor (condition indicator) will slow pulse in normal operation and rapid pulse in alarm.
10.An easily accessible test knob shall be provided. The test knob in the TEST position will simulate an actual smoke condition of
approximately 3.5% causing the detector to alarm within 20-36 seconds. It will also have the capability of testing to 0.85% as a
required minimum.
the light beam or test sensitivity is not sufficient, as indicated in National Code.
11. The detector shall have interconnect capabilities of up to 12 units or 6 units with relay.
12.The alarm shall have interconnection capabilites of 12 units on 9120/9120T/9120H/9123/9123T/9123H/9220/922T/9220H/9223/
9223T/9223H and shall have interconnection capabilites of 6 units on 9120F/9120TF/9120HF/
9123F/9123TF/9123HF/9220F/9220TF/9220HF/9223F/9223TF/9223HF.
13.The manufacturer shall provide other compatible alarm models with the following optional features: a) 135°F isolated thermal
with normally opened contact for remote connection to local alarm or annunciator; b) 135°F integral thermal; c) auxiliary Form
A/Form C relay contacts for initiating remote functions and annunciation; d) relay option that is capable of activation by tandem
interconnect wire.
14.Unit must be UL 217 and UL 1730 listed for both wall and ceiling mount.
15.Unit shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and the Bureau of Standards and
Appeals (NYC).
All equipment shall be completely factory assembled, wired and tested, and the contractor shall be prepared to submit a certified
letter testifying to this condition. Alarms which do not meet all of the requirements of this specification will not be considered.
A magnetic switch closure or other switch closure, or smoke generating equipment which does not scatter
Thermal sensor shall be self-restoring.
