Model Description
D273 Four-wire
D273IS
1
Four-wire with an isolated 135°F (57°C) heat sensor
and sounder
D273TH Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor
D273THC Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor and auxiliary
relay
D273THCS
1
Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor, auxiliary
relay, and sounder
D273THE Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor and EOL
relay
D273THR
2
Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor and trouble
relay
D273THS
1
Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor and sounder
D273THES
1
Four-wire with 135°F (57°C) heat sensor, sounder,
and EOL relay
1
Sounders produce 85 dB at 10 ft (3 m).
2
The trouble relay indicates both Dirty Smoke Chamber and/or
Power Loss conditions.
Each of the detector models is UL Listed and works
with commercial fire protective signaling and
household fire warning systems. Each model detects
smoke particles produced during wood, paper, and
fabric combustion.
System overview
These detector models use an infrared (IR) LED light
source and a silicon photodiode to measure light in a
chamber. A fine screen covers the chamber to deter
insects and reduce dust accumulation and nuisance
alarms.
During a fire, smoke particles reflect light onto the
photodiode. When the photodiode measurements
exceed the alarm threshold, the detector signals an
alarm condition. After the alarm condition clears,
interrupt power at the control panel to reset the
detector.
