NP-200 Series Photoelectric Smoke Detectors for FireWarden Series
The NOTIFIER® NP-200 Series intelligent plug-in smoke detectors
are designed for both performance and aesthetics, and are direct
replacements for the NP-100 Series. A new modern, sleek, contem-
porary design and enhanced optical sensing chamber is engineered
to sense smoke produced by a wide range of combustion sources in
accordance with more stringent code standards.
Exclusively for use with NOTIFIER’s FireWarden Series address-
able fire alarm control panels, the NP-200 Series point ID capability
allows each detector’s address to be set with rotary, decimal
address switches, providing exact detector location for emergency
personnel to quickly locate a fire during its early stages, potentially
saving precious rescue time while also reducing property damage.
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indi-
cation.
The NP-200 Series also offers 135°F (57°C) fixed temperature ther-
mal sensing on the NP-200T and a remote test capable detector on
the NP-200R for use with DNR(A)/DNRW duct smoke detector
housings.
Features
SLC LOOP:
• Two-wire SLC loop connection
• Unit uses base for wiring
• Compatible with FlashScan® and CLIP protocol systems
• Stable communication technique with noise immunity
ADDRESSING:
• Addressable by device
• Rotary, decimal addressing
(Refer to the FireWarden panel manuals for device capacity.)
ARCHITECTURE:
• Sleek, low-profile, stylish design
• Unique single-source design to respond quickly and dependably
to a broad range of fires
• Integral communications and built-in device-type identification
• Built-in tamper resistant feature
• Remote test feature from the panel
• Walk test with address display (an address on 121 will blink the
detector LED: 12-[pause]-1(FlashScan systems only)
• Built-in functional test switch activated by external magnet
• Removable cover and insect-resistant screen for simple field
cleaning
• Expanded color options
OPERATION:
• Designed to meet UL 268 7th Edition
• Factory preset at 1.5% nominal sensitivity for panel alarm thresh-
old level
• LED “blinks” when the unit is polled (communicating with the fire
panel) and latches in alarm.
• Low standby current
MECHANICALS:
• Sealed against back pressure
• SEMS screws for wiring of the separate base
• Designed for direct-surface or electrical-box mounting
• Plugs into separate base for ease of installation and maintenance
• Separate base allows interchange of photoelectric, ionization and
thermal sensors
OPTIONS:
• Optional relay, isolator, and sounder bases
Installation
NP-200 Series plug-in intelligent smoke detectors use a detachable
base to simplify installation, service and mainte
nance. Installation
instructions are shipped with each detector.
Mount detector base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which
is at least 1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. For a chart of compatible junction
boxes, see DN-60054.
NOTE: Because of the inherent supervision provided by the SLC loop,
end-of-line resistors are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or branches are
permitted for Style 4 (Class “B”) wiring only.
When using relay or sounder bases, consult the N100-ISO installation
sheet I56-3625 for device limitations between isolator modules and iso-
lator bases.
Construction
These detectors are constructed of fire-resistant plastic. The NP-200
Series plug-in intelligent smoke detectors are designed to commer-
cial standards and offer an attractive appearance.
Operation
Each NP-200 Series detector uses one of the panel’s addresses
(total limit is panel dependent) on the FireWarden Signaling Line Cir-
cuit (SLC). It responds to regular polls from the control panel and
reports its type and the status. If it receives a test command from the
panel (or a local magnet test), it stimulates its electronics and
reports an alarm. It blinks its LEDs when polled and turns the LEDs
on when commanded by the panel. The NP-200 Series offers fea-
tures and performance that represent the latest in smoke detector
technology.
Detector Sensitivity Test
Each detector can have its sensitivity tested (required per NFPA 72,
Chapter 14 on Inspection, Testing and Maintenance) when installed/
connected to an FireWarden Series addressable fire alarm control
panel. The results of the sensitivity test can be printed for record
keeping.
