Profile Overview
Model FDOT421 provides two (2) different alarm sources that can be selected individually (ON or OFF) by the control
panel.
Alarm Source 1 (Neural Network) – Combines smoke (heat) with the following field-selectable profiles:
• Standard • Duct
Standard: This parameter set, which is practically ideal for normal office, hotel-lobby-type applications, is the default
setting. This parameter set additional offers improved resistance to false alarms in areas where misleading
deceptive sources and helps reduce cooking nuisance alarms (UL 268 7th Ed. Listed)
Du
ct: When using this detector direct in air duct applications, be sure the detector is set to the parameter “Duct”.
Alarm Source 2 (Thermistor) – Heat only; provides the following:
• Static / fixed at 135°F (57°C), default setting
• R
ate-of-Rise detection at 15°F / min. (8.3°C / min.)
If
the detector is not programmed, Model FDOT421 will default to a ‘standard’ profile setting, which allows operation
for a normal office-type environment. Model FDOT421 contains a tri-color LED indicator, capable of flashing any one
(1) of three (3) distinct colors: G
REEN | YELLOW | RED. During each flash interval, the microprocessor-based detector
monitors the following fire-system conditions:
• Smoke in its sensing chamber
•
S
moke sensitivity is within the range indicated on the nameplate label
• Int
ernal sensors and electronics
Based on the results of the monitoring, the LED indicator flashes the following:

Please follow the corresponding description of the panel used.
A quick visual inspection is sufficient to indicate the condition of the detector at any time.
If more detailed information is required, a printed report can be provided from the respective Desigo Fire Safety
Modular | Model FC20-series | FireFinder XLS/V FACPs that indicates the status and settings assigned to each detector.
