The D2-AUS model is a photoelectric detector approved for an extended air
speed range of 0.5 m/s to 20.3 m/s (100 to 4000 feet per minute) and an operational temperature range of −20°C to 70°C (−4°F to 158°F).
BEFORE INSTALLING
Read the System Sensor Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors in Duct Applications (A05-1004), which provides detailed information on detector spacing,
placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this manual
are available online at www.systemsensor.com. Also refer to the installation
requirements of local standards.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following
local regulations. The detector should be cleaned at least once a year.
[1] LIMITATIONS OF DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS
DEVICE STANDBY ALARM

RTS451/RTS151 0mA 12mA Max.
RTS451KEY/RTS151KEY 0mA 12mA Max.
This device will not sense smoke unless the ventilation system is operating
and the cover is installed.
For this detector to function properly, it MUST be installed according to the instructions in this manual. Furthermore, the detector MUST be operated within
ALL electrical and environmental specifications listed in this manual. Failure
to comply with these requirements may prevent the detector from activating
when smoke is present in the air duct.
[2] GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Smoke introduced into the air duct system will be distributed throughout the
entire building. Smoke detectors designed for use in air duct systems are used
to sense the presence of smoke in the duct.
Model D2-AUS Duct Smoke Detector utilizes photoelectric technology for the
detection of smoke. This detection method, when combined with an efficient
housing design, samples air passing through the duct allowing detection of a
developing hazardous condition. When sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm
signal is initiated and appropriate action can be taken to shut off fans,
blowers, change over air handling systems, etc. These actions can facilitate
the management of toxic smoke and fire gases throughout the areas served
by the duct system.

The National Fire Protection Association has established that DUCT DETECTORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR
PROTECTION as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they a substitute for
early warning in a building’s regular fire detection system.
This device will not operate without electrical power. Fire situations may
cause an interruption of power. The system safeguards should be discussed
with your local fire protection specialist.

NOTE: A sampling tube must be ordered to complete the installation. It must
be the correct length for the width of the duct where it will be installed. See
Table 1 on page 3 to determine the inlet tube required for different duct widths.

[5.1] VERIFY DUCT AIR FLOW DIRECTION AND VELOCITY
Model D2-AUS detectors are designed to be used in air handling systems having air velocities of 0.5 to 20.3 m/sec. Duct widths from 15.2 cm to 3.7 m can
be accommodated. Be sure to check engineering specifications to ensure that
the air velocity in the duct falls within these parameters. If necessary, use a
velocity meter (anemometer) to check the air velocity in the duct.
[5.2] DETERMINE MOUNTING LOCATION
AND CONFIGURATION
On ducts wider than 45.7 cm it is recommended that the detector be mounted
downstream of a bend, obstruction in the duct, or the supply or return air inlet.
Exception: Installation of duct detectors can be on or within a commercial
packaged rooftop heating and air-conditioning system, fire/smoke dampers
and economizers. They may be mounted in either the supply and/or return air
section as determined by local code.
Once a suitable location is selected, determine if the detector is to be mounted
in a side-by-side “rectangular” configuration or a top-over-bottom “square”
configuration as shown in Figure 2. If mounting in the square configuration,
remove the rear attachment screw, rotate the unit at hinge, and replace the
screw into the new attachment hole as shown in Figure 2. Do NOT remove
the hinge screw during this process. Final installation approval shall be based
upon passing section 10.4.2 and 10.4.4 tests.

[5.3] DRILL THE MOUNTING HOLES
Remove the paper backing from the mounting template supplied. Affix the template to the duct at the desired mounting location. Make sure the template lies
flat and smooth on the duct.
[5.3.1] FOR RECTANGULAR SIDE-BY-SIDE MOUNTING CONFIGURATION:
Center punch at (4) target centers: (2) “A” for sampling tubes and (2) “B” for
the rectangular configuration mounting tabs as shown on mounting template.
Drill pilot holes at target “A” centers and cut two 3.5 cm diameter holes using
a hole saw or punch. Drill 4.0 mm diameter holes at target “B” centers.
[5.3.2] FOR SQUARE TOP-OVER-BOTTOM MOUNTING CONFIGURATION:
Center punch at (4) target centers: (2) “A” for sampling tubes and (2) “C”
for the square configuration mounting tabs as shown on mounting template.
Drill pilot holes at target “A” centers and cut two 3.5 cm diameter holes using a hole saw or punch. Drill 4.0 mm diameter holes at target “C” centers. If
desired, drill an additional 4.0 mm hole at the location of one of the mounting
tabs on the lower housing.
[5.4] SECURE THE DUCT DETECTOR TO THE DUCT
Use two (rectangular configuration) or three (square configuration) of the provided sheet metal screws to screw the duct detector to the duct.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws.
