FCC Notice

The D285 Series Photoelectric Smoke Detectors (D285,
D285TH) comply with Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:

1.

These detectors might not cause harmful
interference.

2. These detectors must accept any interference

received, including interference that might cause
undesirable operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Bosch can void the user’s authority to operate the D285
Series Smoke Detectors.

1.0  Overview

The D285 Series are UL Listed, open-area,
photoelectric, smoke detectors designed for use with
commercial fire protective signaling systems and
household fire warning systems (refer to the National
Fire Alarm Code [NFPA 72]). These detectors are
available in two-wire and four-wire models, and have an
op135°F (+57°C) fixed-temperature heat sensor.

For commercial and industrial installations, space the
detectors 30 ft (9.2 m) apart as recommended by
NFPA 72.

When properly installed using the D280/D290 Series
Detector Bases, tamper protection is provided by in/out
wiring of the positive power line. This causes the
control to initiate a trouble signal when a detector is
removed from its base. The master control supervises
the two-wire systems. Four-wire system supervision is
provided by an end-of-line (EOL) power supervision
device such as a D275 or a D293E Power Supervision
Base and an EOL resistor (as specified by the control
manufacturer).

Refer to Table 1 for product descriptions.
