DESCRIPTION
The Sentrol 4300 Series smoke detector requires a
Sentrol 4000 RF gateway receiver with Rev J or higher
software and a compatible control panel sold sepa-
rately. To install the detector, you will need the
programming guide for the control panel.
Depending on the model, the detector provides the
following features:
CleanMe
™
self-diagnostics monitors its own sensitiv-
ity and operational status. If the detector drifts out of
the UL listed sensitivity range or fails internal diagnos-
tics, it extinguishes its LED and sends a trouble signal
to the control panel.
Detector/base lock discourages unauthorized removal
of the detector by requiring a screwdriver to remove
the detector from the base.
Optional base tamper sends a trouble signal to the
control panel when the detector is removed from its
mounting base.
Optional mercury-tilt tamper sends a trouble signal
to the control panel when the detector is not upside
down and/or horizontal. Used for installations on
removeable ceiling panels
Optional integrated fixed 135°F temperature and
rate of rise heat detector trips an alarm based on
temperature detected.
Optional low temperature supervision sends a low
temperature signal when the ambient temperature
around the detector reaches approximately 43
°
F (6
°
C).
A separate transmitter signal (secondary address) is
assigned to a Critical Condition Monitoring(CCM) zon
e.
TRANSMITTED SIGNAL OUTPUTS
Depending on the model, the detector transmits the
following signals to the control panel:
• Alarm
• Alarm restore
• Tamper
• Low battery
SELECTING A LOCATION
S
electing a suitable location is critical to the operation
of smoke detectors. This equipment should be installed
in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72. See Figure 2.
A-8-1.2.1.C Are More Smoke Detectors Desirable?
The required number of smoke detectors might not
provide reliable early warning protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke detectors. For this reason, it is recom-
mended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke detectors for those areas for in-
creased protection. The additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility
room, and hallways not protected by the required
smoke alarms. The installation of smoke detectors in
kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is
not normally recommended, as these locations occa-
sionally experience conditions that can result in im-
proper operation.
Important: Regulations pertaining to smoke detector
installations vary from state to state. For more infor-
mation, contact your local fire department or local
authority having jurisdiction.
