FSA-210 Series Smoke Detector

Installation and Operating Instructions

Read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and use of the FSA-210 2-Wire Smoke Detector

Piezo Sounder

Introduction

The FSA-210 is a 2-wire photoelectric smoke detector with

optional: fixed temperature heat detector, internal piezoelectric

alarm, auxiliary form C relay, and/or remote LED output. Three

version are available: US version (UL), Canadian version (ULC)

and an International version (EU).

Operation

Approximately every 7 to 8 seconds the unit tests for a smoke or

heat alarm condition. During this sequence the unit also per-

forms self diagnostics, and checks for faults. During normal

operation the LED will flash every 50 seconds and the sounder

will not sound.

Smoke Alarm

The smoke detector has a nominal fixed alarm sensitivity (refer

to the Specifications on the last page) and it will go into alarm

when the signal level exceeds the 'alarm' threshold and send

the alarm signal to the control panel. During an alarm the LED

will flash 1/second and the sounder will sound the the evacua-

tion temporal pattern (UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).

Installer Instructions

1. Smoke Detector Placement

On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1M (30 feet)

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, Chap-

ter 11 CAN/ULC-S553-02 or other appropriate national stan-

dards for installation recommendations.

Alignment Marks

Remote Alarm - Interconnection

Multiple detectors (with sounders) can be connected using the

PRM-2W Polarity Reversal Module. When a fire alarm occurs,

the panel will signal the PRM-2W to reverse the polarity of the

2-wire loop. This will activate the sounders of all units con-

nected on the loop. Refer to the PRM-2W/4W Installation

Instructions for installation details.

Smoke - Drift Compensation

The detector automatically compensates for long-term environ-

mentally induced changes to maintain a constant smoke sensi-

tivity. When the drift compensation has reached its high or low

limit of adjustment, the detector will go into the trouble state.

Heat Alarm

The heat detector will go into alarm when the heat signal level

exceeds the heat alarm threshold (135ºF/57ºC); and send the

alarm signal to the control panel. During an alarm the LED will

flash 1/second and the sounder will sound the evacuation tem-

poral pattern (UL, EU) or continuous beeps (ULC).

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. Avoid areas with turbulent

air flow, (near doors, fans or win-

dows. Rapid air movement around

the detector may prevent smoke

from entering the unit. Do NOT

locate detectors in areas of high

humidity.
