 PAD200-PD
Photoelectric Smoke Sensor

Air Velocity Ratings

The PAD200-PD has an Open Area of Protection air velocity rating of 0 to 300 feet per minute.
The system has a maximum of 30 LEDs that can be turned on simultaneously. If the system already has 30 LEDs on, the PAD200-PD will operate even
though the LED may not illuminate.

Operation
The PAD200-PD is an analog addressable sensor that uses one address on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) of a compatible fire alarm control panel.
The unit communicates with the control panel as it is polled. The LEDs flash every time the unit is polled and they will flash at a fast rate if the unit is
in an active status. The polling LED can be turned off if desired for less conspicuous operation.
The PAD200-PD with the PAD100-4DB or PAD100-6DB has a low profile of less than two (2) inches to blend into the surrounding environment. The
sensor includes an insect screen to prevent foreign objects from reaching the chamber and the can be cleaned to restore operation of a dirty detector.

Sensor Sensitivity
The PAD200-PD and the compatible control panel work in tandem to keep the sensitivity consistent. As the sensor is installed over time, the sensor
compensates for the dirt in the unit until it is out of range. At that time, the panel will indicate a dirty sensor. The sensor will then have to be cleaned
or replaced.
The PAD200-PD can be programmed to provide a maintenance alert prior to reaching the dirty sensor level which will allow for intervention prior to
the sensor going into trouble. This allows for sensor replacement or cleaning prior to a nuisance trouble occurs.
NOTE: As required by NFPA, do not install the sensors until all construction is complete and the work area has been thoroughly cleaned. If the sensors
have been installed in a construction environment, they should be cleaned or replaced before the system is placed into service.

Spacing
The PAD200-PD is UL listed with a recommended maximum spacing of 30 feet. Refer to NFPA 72 for specific information regarding detector spacing,
placement and special applications.

Compatible Bases
All bases will mount on a single gang, double gang, octagon, 4” square or mud ring electrical box.
