Description

The System Sensor 1400 dual-chamber ionization smoke detector is specifically designed to meet the performance requirements of fire detection/alarm systems. This detec- tor uses a state-of-the-art unipolar sensing chamber. The detector is designed to provide open area detection and is compatible with FCI fire alarm control panels. The detec- tor operation and sensitivity can be tested in place. The detector has an LED which flashes every ten seconds indicating that power is being applied to the detector. The LED lights steadily when the detector is in alarm. A re- mote LED annunciator is available as an optional acces- sory. The 1400 detector includes a tamper-resistant feature that, when used, prevents removal of the detector without the use of a tool. Sensitivity testing is performed by inserting a tool into the recessed test switch opening. Field metering of detector sensitivity may be performed with the aid of a voltmeter and test kit MOD 400R. Specifications Nominal sensitivity 1.5%/ft. obscuration Operating voltage 8.5 - 35 VDC (24 VDC nominal) Standby current 100 µA maximum Operating temperature 32° to 120° F (0° to 49° C) Operating humidity 10 % - 93 % relative humidity Air velocity 1,200 ft. per minute maximum Altitude 10,000 feet Construction Off-white flame retardant plastic Diameter 5.5 inches (14 cm) Height 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) Weight 0.7 lb (310 gm) Note: Alarm current is limited by the control panel initiating device circuit. Part Number 1400

Ordering Information

WARNING: To prevent detector contamination dur- ing construction, smoke detectors must be protected from dust and contamination until area is clean and Mounting

  • On a 4-inch square box with plaster ring and FCI supplied mounting bracket kit. Minimum depth 1.5 inches.
  • On a 3.5 or 4-inch octagonal box. Minimum depth 1.5 inches.
  • Directly to ceiling using plastic screw anchors. Detectors” for spacing, location of detectors and other guidelines. Installation Line up the arrows on the detector with the arrows on the mounting bracket. Turn the detector clockwise until the detector clicks into place. To use the tamper-proof feature, break the smaller tab at the scribed line in the tamper-proof tab located on the detector mounting bracket. Install the detector. To remove the detector from the bracket when using the tamper-proof feature, insert the blade of a small screwdriver into the hole on the side of the base and push the plastic lever away from the detector head. Turn the detector counter- clockwise for removal. NOTE: The decorative ring must be removed in order to remove a head after it has been made tamper-proof. NOTE: The number of two-wire smoke detectors which can be accommodated per zone varies with different con- trol panels. Consult the control panel instruction manual to determine the capacity. Testing Detectors may be tested in the following ways:
  • A. Insert a tool into the test opening in the unit. For the complete procedure, refer to the Installation and Main- tenance Instructions furnished with each detector.
  • B. Field metering of detector sensitivity may be per- formed with the aid of a voltmeter and test kit MOD 400R. For the complete procedure, refer to the Installa- tion and Maintenance Instructions furnished with each detector. Maintenance Cleaning programs should be adapted to the individual environment in conformance with NFPA Standard 72. We recommend, at the least, an annual cleaning of the unit. The detector screen and cover assembly can be removed, revealing the sensing chamber. A vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust from the screen, cover and sensing chamber. For the complete procedure, refer to the Instal- lation and Maintenance instructions furnished with each detector. GAMEWELL-FCI
