Description
DC-M9102 Conventional Photoelectric Smoke Detector (the
detector) is a new-generation product by building in a
microprocessor, embedding a solid fire analyzing program, and
performing effectively and efficiently.
Checking a fire alarm signal, the detector will send it to a fire alarm
control panel (FACP) or addressable zone monitor unit by means of
current changes. The detector indicates its fire condition by turning
on fire LED and keeping the LED on until it is reset. Recommended Wiring
Using infrared scattering technology, with an innovative chamber, 1.0mm2 or above fire cable for all terminals laid through metal conduit
the detector receives very weak infrared light under normal or flame proof conduit, subject to local codes.

6. The alarm of a smoke detector used in high velocity
environment will be delayed due to dilution of smoke by frequent

7. Smoke detectors have their own service life. In order to keep
the detector working in good condition, please maintain them
according to recommendations from manufacturers and relative
state standards.
8. The detectors must be tested regularly, at least once a year.
