All pipes are Metric 25mm or Imperial 3/4” (27.6mm).  All sample
holes are 3mm, with 6mm end hole.

ASPIRATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Set out below are some examples of maximum length pipe
configurations that can be used with an A300 unit fitted with
the 7251 sensor. It should be possible to adapt these
examples for shorter pipe run systems; however some
specific applications will have specific considerations that
must be taken into account, and local standards may also
apply.

The default size for sample holes is 3mm, and the end hole
is 6mm. Ensure that no hole is less than 100mm from a
bend or ‘T’ piece

Table 6 shows the maximum allowable pipe lengths for
CEA 4022 compliance. In the examples shown below,
which fulfill the requirements of this table, the fire alarm
threshold, set at the control panel, should be at the 7251
laser sensor sensitivity level 1 (most sensitive).

For short to mid range application, it is recommended that
the fan speed for the A300E is kept at a default setting of 5
(this will be suitable in many circumstances). The primary
effect of changing the fan speed will be to increase or
decrease the transport time.

Default settings are programmed into the detector for the
high and low flow limits. It should not normally be
necessary to change these settings.

NOTE

If using a sensor other than the 7251 Laser, see section 3.1
Sensors Certified for use with the A300 
in the
Appendices.
