Architect & Engineering Specifications
The photoelectric smoke alarm shall be a Gentex Model S1209/S1209F or approved equal which shall provide at least the following features and functions:
1. Nominal smoke sensitivity shall be 2.5%.
2. The smoke alarm portion of device shall utilize an infrared LED sensing circuit which pulses in 4 to 5 second intervals when subjected to smoke. After 2 consecutive
pulses in smoke, the alarm will activate.
3. The S1209 Series alarm shall have a Duracell
®
MN 1604 9VDC alkaline battery as a back-up in the event building power is lost.
4. The 9VDC battery impedance shall be verified by the circuit of the smoke alarm.
5. The alarm shall provide an indicator when the battery is low in power, high impedance or is missing.
6. A solid state piezo alarm meets or exceeds the rating of 85dBA at 10ft.
7. A visual LED monitor (condition indicator) will slow pulse in normal operation and rapid pulse in alarm (red color)
8. An easily accessible test button shall be provided. Push down on button for 5 seconds causing smoke alarm to activate. If device does not go into alarm, the device
is not working properly.
9. The device shall have tandem interconnect capability of up to 12 smoke alarms.
10. The alarm shall have the capability to tandem interconnect with all Gentex tandem capable smoke alarms, CO alarms or combination smoke/CO alarms,including
7000/7003 Series, 9000/9003 Series, 710CS/713CS Series, 7109CS/7139CS Series, GN-200/GN-300 Series, CO1209 Series and GN-503 Series
11. The manufacturer shall provide models with the optional feature of auxiliary Form A/Form C relay contacts for initiating remote functions and annunciation
12. Unit must be ANSI/UL 217 listed for both wall and ceiling mounting.
13. Unit shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories and California State Fire Marshal (CSFM).
All equipment shall be completely factory assembled, wired and tested, and the contractor shall be prepared to submit a certified letter
testifying to this condition. Alarms which do not meet all of the requirements of this specification will not be considered.
For complete product specifications, refer to product installation manual.
NOTES:
• Utilizing DUALINK
®
, if S1209 alarm annunciates, all smoke alarms, CO alarms or combination smoke/CO alarms tandem interconnected will sound
smoke alarm warning.
• Utilizing DUALINK
®
, if S1209 is tandem interconnected with CO alarms or combination smoke/CO alarms and CO devices go into alarm, CO alarms
and smoke alarm will sound CO warning.
• When both smoke and CO conditions are present, smoke condition will have priority and alarm will sound smoke annunciation.
