Before Installing
This detector must be installed in compliance with the
control panel system installation manual. The installation
must meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Detectors offer maximum performance
when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.
General Description
Filtrex® uses a small air intake fan and a high density replaceable filter. Air and smoke are drawn into a photoelectric sensing chamber while airborne particulate and water
mist are removed. The addressable-analog detector transmits an analog representation of smoke density o ver a communication line to a control panel. Rotary-decade switches
are provided for setting the sensor’s address. Two LEDs on
the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor
status.
Filtrex smoke detector is intended for use in normal environmental conditions, where dust and other airborne
particulate are present at elevated levels. These elevated
levels tend to cause false alarms and high maintenance
in standard detectors. Filtr ex pr ovides a pr otective enclosure for a photoelectric smoke detector chamber and allows smoke detection in areas that tended to use
exclusively heat detection.
Filtrex requir es compatible addressable communications
to function properly. Connect this detector to listed-compatible control panels only.
Spacing
System Sensor recommends spacing detectors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low air flow applications with
smooth ceilings, space detectors 30 feet apart. For specific
information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Sensor
Guide For Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, available
from System Sensor (P/N I56-407-XX).
Filtrex is not designed to operate in e xplosiv e environments.

Wiring Instructions
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Testing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system
is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily be out of
service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.

Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires
should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease
system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent
a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
All detectors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Detectors offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with

stalling detectors.
The sensor can be tested in the following ways:
All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
1. Wire the sensor base per the wiring diagram, please see
Figure 1.
2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches,
please see Figure 2.
3. Insert 5-wire connector on mounting base into 5-pin
connector on Filtrex unit. Install the detector into the
sensor base. Push the detector into the base while turning it clockwise to secure it in place. (Please see Figure
5 and INSTALLING FILTREX INTO BASE on page 4 for
specific directions.
4. After all detector s ha ve been installed, turn on the auxil-
iary power supply, then apply power to the control unit
A.
Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
This detector can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test magnet electronically simulates smoke in
the sensing chamber, testing the detector electronics and
connections to the control panel.
1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test ar ea as shown
in Figure 3.
2. The detector should alarm the panel. Two LEDs on
the detector are controlled by the panel to indicate
sensor status. Coded signals, transmitted from the
panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch
off. Refer to the control panel technical documentation for detector LED status operation and expected
delay to alarm.
and activate the communication line.
5. Test the detector(s) as described in the TESTING section
of this manual.
B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator
Aerosol generators for smoke entry testing are available
from a number of third party manufacturers (e.g.,

Gemini Scientific). Follo wing the manufacturer’ s instructions, apply aerosol until the panel alarms.
A detector that fails any of these tests should be retested. If
