SMD-429 PG2 Series Wireless Smoke and Heat Detector

Installation and Operating Instructions

Read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and use of the SMD-429 PG2

Introduction

The SMD-429 PG2 is a wireless photoelectric smoke and heat detector with a fixed temperature and rate of rise heat detector, and an internal piezoelectric alarm. Three versions are available: a 915 MHz for US version (UL) and Canadian version (ULC), a 433 MHz and 868 MHz for International version (EU) and a 433 MHz for Australian version (AUS).

Compatible Devices

The smoke detector is compatible with Visonic Control Panels and Power G receivers.

Operation

Approximately every 7 to 8 seconds the unit tests for a smoke or heat alarm condition. During this sequence the unit also performs self diagnostics, and checks for tampers and faults. During normal operation the green LED flashes every 12 seconds and the sounder does not sound.

Smoke Alarm

The smoke detector alarms when the signal level exceeds the “alarm” threshold and automatically restores when the signal level falls below the alarm “restore” threshold. During an alarm the LED flashes once per second and the sounder sounds the evacuation temporal pattern.

Alarm Silencing

This smoke alarm is provided with an automatically resettable alarm silencing feature. When the sensor is in alarm, press the Test/Silence/Reset button to silence the local annunciation of the alarm and transmit an alarm restore event to the control panel. The LED flashes every 8 seconds for up to 10 minutes, to indicate the alarm has been silenced. The flashing LED stops when the unit returns to normal operation. The alarm silence feature has a fixed time setting that desensitizes the smoke alarm for 8 minutes. Alarm silencing does not disable the smoke alarm but rather reduces its smoke sensitivity. Following the silenced period the smoke alarm restores automatically to its intended operation. If smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, it remains in alarm, or may return to the alarm state quickly.

Detector Trouble

When the detector has a general fault, the yellow LED blinks once every four seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. After 12 hours, the panel will display a loss of supervision message.

Detector Cleaning Required

When the detector is contaminated, the yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning the detector. After 12 hours, the panel displays a message loss of supervision.

Heat Alarm

The heat detector (cULus versions only) alarms when the heat signal level exceeds the heat alarm threshold (135 ºF / 57 ºC); and will automatically restore when the heat signal level falls below the heat alarm threshold (restore). The detector also goes into a heat alarm state when there is a rapid increase in the temperature over a short period of time. During an alarm the LED flashes 1/second and the sounder sounds the evacuation temporal pattern.

Tamper

The removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a “tamper” transmission. The tamper condition is restored after the detector is mounted on the plate.

Wireless Transmissions

A supervisory message is transmitted at 64 minute intervals for the SMD-429 PG2 and 12minute intervals for the other models. If the signal is not received the control panel determines that the detector is missing. The detector transmits the following:

Alarm / Alarm Restore - (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted at time of occurrence. NOTE: During an alarm condition, the detector sends an alarm event to the control panel.

When the condition is restored, the detector sends an alarm restore event to the panel and sets the alarm restore indicator, the red LED blinks once per minute. You can clear the alarm restore indicator only from the control panel.

Tamper / Tamper Restore - (tamper switch activated) 10 second maximum delay on restore before transmission.

Low Battery - (battery voltage falls below threshold). Battery voltage is tested & transmitted at the time of a supervisory or other transmissions.

Trouble - (detector fault or sensor compensation limit reached). Troubles are transmitted at the time of occurrence (one trouble per supervisory interval).

Batteries

NOTE: The batteries must be replayed by service persons only. The wireless smoke heat alarm is powered by 3 AAA Duracell Procell PC2400 or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (included). The detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel, which displays the detector's ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector blinks every 12 seconds. The detector's sounder chirps every 48 seconds and the yellow LED continues to blink until the batteries are replaced. Pressing the hush button silences the chirps for 12 hours, if no other trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced with new batteries when the chirps begin.

Battery Installation and Replacement

CAUTION:Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions.

To replace batteries, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise. Carefully remove batteries by lifting from the “+” end using a flathead screwdriver and dispose of them according to local regulations.

2. To ensure a proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing new batteries.

3. Install 3 new AAA batteries, available from a local Duracell or Energizer dealer in the battery compartment. Install the batteries by inserting the “-” end first, then pushing the “+” end down. If the batteries are incorrectly inserted, please remove them carefully by lifting

them out from the “+” end and correctly re-inserting them.

BATTERY COMPARTMENT

4. Re-install the detector on its mounting base by turning the detector clockwise until the mating marks align.

5. After the power-up sequence, the green LED should blink once every 12 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the batteries are not installed correctly, the detector will not operate and the batteries may be damaged. If the detector does not power up, check that the batteries are installed correctly and fully charged.

6. Test the detector as described later.

CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

Installation Instructions

The SMD-429 PG2 Series wireless smoke detector shall be installed and used within an environment that provides the pollution degree max 2 and over voltages category II in non-hazardous locations, indoor only. The equipment is designed to be installed by SERVICE PERSONS only; (SERVICE PERSON is defined as a person having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons).

1. Smoke Detector Placement

Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.

The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms. It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not protected by the required units. On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1 m (30 ft) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.

l Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space

in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.

l Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air move-

ment around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.

l Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity. l Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38 ºC (100 ºF) or falls

below 5 ºC (41 ºF).

l Smoke detectors must always be installed in USA in accordance with Chapter 29 of NFPA

72, the National Fire Alarm Code: 29.5.1.1. Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, approved single and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

1. In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.

2. Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21 ft) of any door to a sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel.

3. On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.

4. On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.

5. In the living areas of a guest suite.

6. In the living areas of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility). NOTE: In Australia the device shall not be installed in locations where the normal ambient temperature is lower than 5 ºC or higher than 45 ºC.
