• Built-in RS-485
The ASD-160H provides four alarm levels and has sensitivity ranges extending from
communications for
“hypersensitive” to “low” sensitivity (0.00046 to 7.62% obscuration/ft. or 0.0015 – 25%

The on-board “fault” and “fire” relays can be augmented with an Optional Input Relay
Card, which provides four levels of alarm, fault and three programmable inputs for
interface with fire alarm panels and BMS systems. Addressable Protocol Interface Cards
(APIC) are available for various manufacturers’ fire panels.
