TEMPERATURE – HUMIDITY – PRESSURE - AIR
VELOCITY

The temperature range for the OP921 detector is 32 °F
(0 °C)  to  100 °F  (38 °C).  Use  the  detector  in
environments where the humidity does not exceed 95%
(non-condensing).  Normal  changes  of  atmospheric
pressure  do  not  affect  detector  sensitivity.  The  air
velocity range is 0-300 ft/min for open areas applications
and  0-4000  ft/min  for  direct  in  air  duct applications.
Follow  detector  spacing  and  location  requirements  in
NFPA  72  Chapter  for  High  Air  Movement  Areas  and
Control of Smoke Spread.

LED INDICATOR OPERATION

The Model OP921 contains an LED indicator capable of
flashing either one of three distinct colors: green, yellow,
or red. The microprocessor-based detector monitors the
following:

·

  Smoke in its sensing chamber

·

Smoke sensitivity is within the range indicated on the
nameplate label

·

  Internal sensors and electronics

Based on the results of the monitoring, the LED indicator
flashes the following:

* LED can be turned off. Please follow the corresponding
description of the Panel used.

DETECTOR PROGRAMMING

Each  detector  must  be  programmed  to  respond  to  an
address between 001 - 252.
To  program  the  detector  address,  use  the  Model  DPU
Device Programming Unit. Refer to the DPU Manual, P/N
315-033260.
Record the loop and device number (system address) for
the  detector  on  the  detector  label  and  on  the  base  to
prevent  installing  the  detector  in  the  wrong  base.  The
optional DPU label printer can be used for this purpose.
Each detector provides pre-programmed parameter sets
which  can  be  selected  by the  panel.  Follow  the
corresponding description of the panel used.

  Standard

·

  Duct

NOTE

·

When  using  this  detector  direct  in  air  duct
applications,  be  sure  the  detector  is  set  to  the
parameter “Duct”.

WIRING

The  OP921 supports  two  operation  modes:  polarity
insensitive mode and isolator mode. The Detector can be
wired for either mode (refer to Figure 2 and 3). During
the isolator mode, the built-in dual isolators will work at
both sides of the Detector to isolate the line short in front
or behind the device.
When  the  OP921 is  wired  in  polarity  insensitive mode,
Line -6 and -5 can be either line of the loop.
When the OP921 is wired for Isolator mode, the positive
line needs to be connected to 1b and the negative line to
6. The next device needs to be connected to 1b and 5.
The Line Isolator is located between connector 6 and 5.

NOTICE

Ensure that the panel supports Isolator mode for
the OP921 product version 17.
Isolator mode must not be used with an OP921
product version <17. You will find the product
version number on the detector label.

DETECTOR MOUNTING

To ensure proper installation of the detector head into the
base,  be  sure  the  wires  are  properly  dressed  at
installation:

·

  Position all wires flat against the base.

·

  Take up all slack in the outlet box

·

  Route wires away from connector terminals.

TO INSTALL DETECTOR HEAD

·

Rotate  detector  counterclockwise  while  gently
pressing on it until the detector seats fully into base.

·

  Then rotate the detector clockwise until it stops and

locks in place. Insert optional locking screw (Order
Model LK-11).

TO REMOVE DETECTOR HEAD:

·

Loosen  locking  screw,  if  installed.  Then  rotate  the
detector counterclockwise until stop is reached.

·

  Pull detector out of base.

DETECTOR TESTING

Only qualified service personnel should test. To assure
proper operation of the detector, both the Sensitivity and
Functional Test should be conducted. The minimum test
schedule may be found in the current edition of NFPA 72.

SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENT

The  sensitivity  of  OP921 detectors  can  be  tested
individually  using  the  DPU.  Refer  to  the  DPU  Manual,
P/N 315-033260. The sensitivity can be measured by the
panel. Follow the instructions of the panel used.
