FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SECURITY FEATURE
lowing instructions will enable the user to activate th feasure and to
release the base seeuiy locking tab so as to remove the sensor from the base
1) Take any sensor and turn it over to view the bottom as shown in Fig. 1. Using a smal blade wype serew
iver brele the tab as shown in Fig 2, This wil allow he base security locking tab, a8 shown in Fig. 3
to stay elevated, This wil prevent th
ot fom being semaoved from i? base.

"To semove the seasor from its base, tke small diameter serew diver and insert it into the large bole on
the outer rim of the sensor (se Fig. 4) ‘when pushing the base seeartyIoeking tab down,

"The ALK-D photoelectric smoke sensor is rated to provide early detection of smoke and products
‘of combustion present in air moving at through an HVAC duet supply, reura, or both. These
sensors ean be used to prevent the recirculation of smoke in areas by the air handling systems fan
and blowers. Complete systems may be shut down in the event of smoke detection
“The and ALK-D sensor ean be utilized in applications where the sendard external mount dct
detectors cannot be used. Examples include plenum spaces, air acts, or applications requiring
detection in extremely low or no ait veloiyy. The ALK-D i rated from 0 co 4000f./minute ait
flow
NOTE: For correct installation guidlines please refer co NFPA 72 (National Fite Alarm Code),
NEPA 90A (Stand for Installation of Ais Conditioning and Ventilation Systems), NEPA 924.
(Recommended Practice for Smoke Control Systems), and NFPA 5000 (Building Construction and
Safery Code)
“To verify correct installation, the air velocity should le measured and found to he berween 0 and
4000 fe /minute. Use of a velocity meter such as che ALNOR 6O00AP or equivalent will be
sequited
Location Requirements:
“These guidelines contain general information on duct smoke detector insulation, but does not
preclude NFPA os other information listed. Hochiki Ametiea Corporation assumes 90
‘esponsibility for improperly installed duct detectors or appiestions. When installing the ALK-D
please consider the itmes following below
1) Uniform non-turbulene airflow (aminat) mast be present at ste where the smoke detectors to
bbe mounted. Detesmination thatthe airflow is hetween (1 and 4000 fe/minste is required
2) To.minimize the impact of wurbulenee and strvifieation on detector performance, a duct detector
should be placed as far down stream of any obstruciton or bend in the ductvork
3) Identify locaton that meets all the requiremenss of code compliance, Examples of such
locations cauld be ar supply, air return, or both, Make sure the location chosen allows easy access
for inspection and serviceabily
{4)When installing detectors on the renen side, install uct unite prior ta the air being exhausted
from the building or dilated with outside at
5) When installing detectors downsteam of filters, be sware that filter fires may be detected, but if
the filters themselves become blocked, insufficient air low inthe duct may affece detector response.
Duet detectors installed in the supply sie side may monitor upstream equiment and/or filters,
(9) Whete possible, install duct detectors upstream of air humidifiers and downscream of
dehumidifiers.
1) To prevent false slams, the duct detector should not be mounted in ateas of extreme hi
low air emperatuces. Ateas of high humidity, of aceas thar contain escessve gases at dust should be
avoided,
Electrical Installation:
FPor electrical installation and wiring please refer to page 2 of this instruction manual‘Mechanical Installation:
Mounting:
‘Mount che YBN-NSA-E base to the 4 inch octagonal back box using the base adaptor provided. Wire
the mounting hase as shown oa page 2 of these instructions, Install the smoke sensor onto the base and
proceed to testing
Operational Testing:
‘To ensure the proper operation af the ALK-D smoke sensor, verify that thatthe sensors have been
connected to a compatible control panel and the LEDs on the sensors ase flashing to indicate
‘communication with the control panel. Using the TSE-A100 smoke generating pole, transfer smoke
into the smoke sensor. The sensor will go into alarm. Dusing an alam condition the LEDs on the
sensors will nat flash bus latch on Red. ‘The fise alarm contsol panel may be reset to clea the alana
condition,
Maintenan
Each installation location must be assessed on its own merits. If the protected areais very diy, the
smoke sensors may need to be checked more frequently (perhaps on a quarterly or semi-annunal bass).
‘The best method of cleaning the smoke sensors is to blow out the chamber and labyrinth with clean, dry,
compressed aie, Alcohol and a soft bristled brash may he used if the seasor chamber is extremely diy
De not use cleaning fluids or chemicals to clean the sensors that ate not outlined in this instruction,
Improper cleaning and hanlding of the sensor could void the warranty. Contact your local code or AH]
for required maintenance schedules
