1 Notice
Use these instructions when installing the D300A-HV High-Voltage Conventional Duct Detector
in a system controlled by a fire alarm control panel (FACP). Install, test, and maintain the
D300A-HV according to these instructions, NFPA 72, local codes, and the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ).
2 Overview
The D300A-HV High-Voltage Conventional Duct Detector Housing unit is an accessory device
complete with a photoelectric smoke detector head used in HVAC duct works. It can be
powered by 24 VAC, 24 VDC, or 230 VAC and is intendend for high-voltage applications. Air
sampling is accomplished by two tubes that protrude into the duct. An exhaust tube of one
standard length is supplied in the installation kit with the duct detector housing unit. Once
the duct width is determined, the air intake sampling tubes must be ordered. Sampling tubes
are supplied in three standard lengths and cut to size to fit the duct. The air samples are
collected by positive pressure to the detector head. Output terminals are provided for remote
accessories such as remote status indicators (LEDs), reset keyswitches, and push buttons.
