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.,

A detector that fails any of these tests should be retested. If
