Installation Smoke Detector 
ELQZ-2-428-2, GOLD

General

The ELQZ-2-428-2 smoke detector is used for measuring 
any smoke present in ventilation ducts. It consists of an 
ionising detector mounted in an adaptor system where 
both the tube and enclosure are designed for optimum 
airflow through the detector. The system meets all the 
fire safety requirements for air velocities between 0.2 m/s 
and 20 m/s. The smoke detector is used together with a 
control unit (fitted inside an ELQA equipment cubicle or a 
separate equipment cubicle for the smoke detection and 
warning function) for controlling fans, fire and smoke 
dampers.

Operation

If any smoke is detected, a red LED on the detector lights 
up and the detector transmits an alarm signal to the con-
trol unit.
Any accumulation of impurities in the smoke detector will 
make it more sensitive and gradually approach its alarm 
condition. To avoid unnecessary alarms caused by fouling, 
the detector is equipped with a service alarm (green LED). 
When lit, this LED indicates that the detector ought to be 
cleaned.

Tecnical details

Type of detector Ionising
Power supply 

 

24VDC (from control unit)

Power consumption:

~ 48mA

Permissible
ambient temperature 

-20°C to +50°C

Permissible humidity 

Max 99% rH

Accessories

The ELQZ-1-428-2-1 Mounting bracket should be used for 
mounting the detector on a circular or insulated duct.

Maintenance

Whenever the smoke detector becomes fouled, it will be 
more sensitive and may trip the service alarm. This situa-
tion can easily be delayed by vacuum cleaning the detec-
tor once a year.

Dimensions
