Product Overview
The Siemens ─ Fire Safety Model ‘FDBZ’-series of air-duct-detector housings are
designed for use with Siemens Model ‘H’-series, Cerberus PRO-series and Model
OP121 detectors. (see: Details for Ordering for a complete list of compatible
devices).
Designed for installation directly to heating, ventilating and air-conditioning
(HVAC) duct systems, the Model ‘FDBZ’-series of duct housings complies with
National Fire Protection Association Standard (NFPA) No.’s 72 and 90A, and is
Underwriters’ Laboratories Listed.
When equipped, the air-duct detector housing will signal the presence of smoke
being carried through the duct system. Air-duct detectors are not intended to be
substituted for open-area detection.
Notes: Most conventional time-control equipment guarantee only one (1) detector
per zone when the detector’s operated relay function is critical. The connection of
a remote lamp and a remote relay −per detector − is allowed. Refer to the
installation manual of the respective conventional FACP. With either the Cerberus
PRO series or FireFinder® XLS series of FACPs, up to 252-addressable detectors with
relays per circuit may be used. The connection of an intelligent remote lamp (ILED)
and a remote relay is allowed for each detector simultaneously.
Specifications
The Model ‘FDBZ’-series of air-duct housings are uniquely designed to use with the
photoelectric detector. Sensitivity of Models PE-11, PE-11C, OP121, and 8854
conventional detectors can be verified for calibration via LED visual status or a
Model RSAW-11, Model RSAC-11 or FDBZ492-RTL multi-color remote lamp. A
green flash indicates the detector has passed its self-test. Amber indicates a
Trouble condition, and red indicates an Alarm event.
Sensitivity for Models FP-11, HFP-11, SFP-11, HFPO-11, SFPO-11, OP921, OOH941,
OOHC941, 8710, and 8713 intelligent detectors is verified from the multi-color
LED of the respective detector, or its sensitivity reading may be printed by
command from the corresponding FACP to an optional printer.
