FW562-A/B/C, FW562C-A/B/C TWO-WIRE DUCT DETECTOR

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION 

The  FW562-A/B/C  and  FW562C-A/B/C  models  are 
ventilation  duct  detectors  smart  designed  FOR  USE 
WITH  MODEL  FW511A  DETECTOR  HEADS.  FW562-
A/B/C  are  UL-listed  devices  according  to  UL  268A, 
and FW562C-A/B/C are ULC listed according to ULC-
S529  for  fire  protection  systems.  Equipped  with  a 
photoelectric  smoke  detector,  the  units  will  signal 
the presence of a dangerous amount of combustion 
product  in  the  ventilation  system.  They  are 

compatible with Maple Armor’s control panel model 

FW106, FW106C, FW106S, FW106SC.  

Note: These detectors are not designed to be used in 
open areas.  

ATTENTION 

The  products  must  be  installed  in  accordance  with 

NFPA  72,  CAN/ULC-S524,  and/or  Canadian 
Electrical  Code  depending  on  the  country  of 
installation. Check information of equipment 

used in the system by other manufacturers for any 
guidelines or restrictions.  

The detector should never be installed in the following 
locations: areas with excessive exhaust fumes, kitchen 
areas, near fireplaces, furnace rooms, etc. Smoke 
detectors are not to be used with detector guards 
unless the combination has been evaluated and found 
suitable for that purpose.
