Air is introduced to the duct smoke detector sensor’s sensing
chamber through a sampling tube that extends into the HVAC duct
and is directed back into the ventilation system through a (shorter)
exhaust tube.
The difference in air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sam-
pled air through the sensing chamber. When a sufficient amount of
smoke is detected in the sensing chamber, the sensor signals an
alarm state and the controller automatically takes the appropriate
action to shut down fans and blowers, change over air handling
systems, notify the fire alarm control panel, etc.
The sensor uses a process called differential sensing to prevent
gradual environmental changes from triggering false alarms. A
rapid change in environmental conditions, such as smoke from a
fire, causes the sensor to signal an alarm state, but dust and debris
accumulated over time does not.
The difference in air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sam-
pled air through the sensing chamber. When a sufficient amount of
smoke is detected in the sensing chamber, the sensor signals an
alarm state and the controller automatically takes the appropriate
action to shut down fans and blowers, change over air handling
systems, notify the fire alarm control panel, etc.
For installations using two sensors, the duct smoke detector
does not differentiate which sensor signals an alarm or trouble
condition.

Smoke Detector Locations
SUPPLY AIR
The supply air smoke detector sensor is located to the left of the
unit’s indoor (supply) fan (see Fig. 37). Access is through the fan
access panel. There is no sampling tube used at this location. The
sampling tube inlet extends through the side plate of the fan hous-
ing (into a high pressure area). The controller is located on a
bracket to the right of the return filter, accessed through the lift-off
filter panel.

Location
RETURN AIR SMOKE DETECTOR SENSOR WITHOUT
ECONOMIZER
The sampling tube is located across the return air opening on the
unit basepan (see Fig. 38). The holes in the sampling tube face
downward, into the return air stream. The sampling tube is con-
nected through tubing to the return air sensor that is mounted on a
bracket high on the partition between return filter and controller
location. (This sensor is shipped in a flat-mounting location. In-
stallation requires that this sensor be relocated to its operating lo-
cation and the tubing to the sampling tube be connected. See in-
stallation steps in “Completing Installation of Return Air Smoke
Detector” section.)

Location
RETURN AIR SMOKE DETECTOR SENSOR WITH
ECONOMIZER
The sampling tube is inserted through the side plates of the econo-
mizer housing, placing it across the return air opening on the unit
basepan (see Fig. 39). The holes in the sampling tube face down-
ward, into the return air stream. The sampling tube is connected
using tubing to the return air sensor mounted on a bracket high on
the partition between return filter and controller location. The sen-
sor is shipped in a flat-mounting location. Installation requires the
sensor be relocated to its operating location and the tubing to the
sampling tube be connected. See installation steps in “Completing
Installation of Return Air Smoke Detector” section.
