GENERAL INFORMATION 

 All equipment manufactured by Macurco is thoroughly tested and calibrated before leaving the factory.  There is no need to 
re-calibrate the detectors after installation.  The equipment is designed to be fully operational after all wiring is completed.  For more 
technical and wiring information please refer to the Automatic Exhaust Fan Controllers For Parking Garages & Carbon Monoxide 
Transducers data sheets. 
 

LOCATION 

 Please refer to the attached data sheet titled “Carbon Monoxide System Layouts in Parking Garages” 
 

SS102H & SS102HC-1 GENERAL INFORMATION 

 The 

SS102H

 is partially housed in a plastic case, which mounts on and becomes the cover of, a standard 4SD electrical box 

(provided by the installer). 
 The 

SS102HC-1 

is housed in a plastic case that is attached to a 4x4 plaster ring.  It mounts on any four inch square 

electrical box. 
 A low voltage, four conductor, #18 (or larger) cable connects each 

SS102H, 

or 

SS102HC-1

 sensor to the 

SS103

 control 

panel.  There must be an individual cable between each sensor and its control panel group of four terminals.  These terminals are 
labeled on the sensor cover adjacent to the terminal strip.  Set up color coding so that the cable will match the same terminals at the 
sensor and control panel.  The 

SS102HC-1 

has four pigtail leads: two red for power and a white and black for output.  There is an 

internal switch in the 

SS102HC-1

 located on the printed circuit board that must be set to volts. 

 

SS102H SENSOR OPERATION 

 The 

SS102H

 sensors have two lights: one green and one red.  The green light is a pilot light showing the unit is on and 

operational.  When power is first applied to the unit, the green light will be off for 1 1/2 minutes while the sensor goes through a 
warm-up cycle.  After this 1 1/2 minute delay, the green light will be on continuously. 
 The red light, which is normally off, is part of a supervisory circuit that monitors critical functions of the unit.  A failure in 
the sensor is shown by a lighted red light, and at the same time a full range (about 4.8 volts) output on terminal A, to actuate relays 
in the control panel. 
 The 

SS102H

 was factory calibrated, and cannot be re-calibrated on site.  A functional test can be performed by holding a lit 

cigarette (a good source of carbon monoxide) under the 

SS102H

, so smoke drifts up through the sensor.  This will cause the 

SS102H

 

to produce an output voltage to actuate the 

SS103

 control panel.  If the installation is in a parking garage, a gasoline powered vehicle 

can be operated near the sensor to provide a system test.  See the Carbon Monoxide Transducers data sheet for more technical 
information. 
 Although the

 SS102H

 is usable within a few minutes of being turned on, it will not reach its calibrated level for about 1 

week.  The 

SS102H

 must be continuously powered.
