BEFORE INSTALLING

Read the 

Applications Guide for Duct Smoke Detectors

, which provides informa-

tion on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. 
This manual is available online at www.greystoneenergy.com. NFPA Standards 
72, 90A, and CAN/ULC S524 should also be referenced for detailed information 

NOTICE:

 This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.

IMPORTANT:

 This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following 

NFPA 72 or CAN/ULC S536 requirements. The detector should be cleaned at 
least once a year.

[1] LIMITATIONS OF DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS 

WARNING

The National Fire Protection Association has established that DUCT DETEC-
TORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR 
PROTECTION as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they a substitute for 
early warning in a building’s regular fire detection system.
Greystone Energy supports this position and strongly recommends that the user 
read NFPA Standards 90A, 72, 101, and CAN/ULC S524. The DSD120 Air Duct 
Smoke Detectors are listed per CAN/ULC S529 and UL 268A.
This device will not operate without electrical power. Fire situations may cause 
an interruption of power. The system safeguards should be discussed with your 
local fire protection specialist.
This device will not sense smoke unless the ventilation system is operating and 
the cover is installed.
For this detector to function properly, it MUST be installed according to the 
instructions in this manual. Furthermore, the detector MUST be operated within 
ALL electrical and environmental specifications listed in this manual. Failure to 
comply with these requirements may prevent the detector from activating when 
smoke is present in the air duct.
