confirmation of velocity and pressure differential within
specifications is required.
The pressure differential between the input sampling (high
pressure) tube and outlet (low pressure) tube for the
FDBZ492-PR smoke duct detector should be greater than
0.01 inches of water and less than 1.2 inches of water.
3)
Identify a code compliant location (supply or return side, or
both) for the installation of the duct unit that will permit
easy access for viewing and serviceability.
4)
When installing on the return side, install duct units prior to
the air being exhausted from the building or diluted with
outside “fresh” air.
5)
When installing duct smoke units downstream of filters,
fires occurring in the filters will be detected, but if the filters
become blocked, insufficient air flow through the duct unit
will prevent the correct operation of the duct detector. Duct
units installed in the supply air side may monitor upstream
equipment and/or filters.
