Faraday 8840 Installation/Wiring Instructions Download Page 1

INTRODUCTION

Faraday Detector Models 8840 and 8839 are System LW-400, System
LW-401, System LW-450, System LW-500 and MPC-600 compatible air
duct detectors. They are designed for use in heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning duct systems to detect the presence of combustion products
in a duct system. (Refer to TECHNICAL DATA below for air duct operating
conditions.)

When smoke or combustion products are detected, shutdown of the duct
system and/or operation of supplementary equipment is provided by the
related system control panel with the 8840.
