The HD-11 uses a full wave bridge rectifier at its power input, so that it is independent of the polarity of the 

input power. It can operate on DC or AC voltages between 12 and 24 volts.  

7.

 

A switching regulator is used to efficiently match the wide input voltage range to the fixed, internal power 

system. As a result the power consumption is fairly constant at about 0.75 watts in normal operation, and 
1.0 watt in alarm.  

8.

 

The alarm control panel zone inputs must be terminated with end of line resistors (E.O.L.R.), which are 
provided with the panel. The HD-11 does not have an internal audible sounder and must be connected to 

an audible device that provides at least 85 DB sound output.  

POWER UP 

When the unit is powered up it performs a self-test during which the green LED light blinks for a period of one and one half to two 

minutes. Afterwards, the green LED light will turn on continuously to indicate the unit is in normal operation (ARMED).  If the self-test 

fails or the green LED light does not turn on continuously do not use.  Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and 
result in sickness or death

When power is first applied to the detector, it will go through a warm-up period of one and one half to two 

minutes, during which alarms are inhibited. The green LED light will turn on and off during the delay period. The 
green light will turn on continuously (ARMED) afterwards to indicate the unit is in normal operation. 
OPERATION 
1.

 

Once the HD-11 is operational (ARMED) the green light will be on continuously. If gas is detected the red 

LED (ALARM) turns on and the SPDT alarm relay activates to indicate the alarm condition.  

2.

 

In the configuration, as shipped from the factory, the HD-11 is self-restoring. When the air clears of gas, the 

red light turns off and the relay switches to its normal state. A jumper wire on the circuit board can be 
clipped to allow the unit to latch in upon alarm. Once latched in, power will need to be interrupted to un-

latch the alarm condition. 

 

The HD-11 can be modified, either before or after installation, to have a latching output. Pull off the 

cover and locate the jumper wire labeled “CLIP FOR LATCH IN” on the printed circuit board in the 

upper right hand side. Clip or cut this jumper wire and separate the wire ends. Now the unit will stay in 
alarm (once gas has exceeded the pre-set threshold) until the power is interrupted. When replacing the 

cover, make sure the lights line up with their access holes. 

3.

 

The HD-11 has a supervisory circuit of critical functions. A trouble condition, due to failure of a non-reliable 

component, results in both lights switching on and off and the normally closed trouble relay opening. A 
power failure also causes the trouble relay to open.
