Description
Gamewells SS-APT Accli-
mate detector is an intelligent,
addressable, multi-sensing, low-
profile detector designed for use
with any 600 series Smart<i>Scan
TM
SLC panel.
The Acclimate detector uses a
combination of photoelectric and
thermal sensing technologies
that are designed to increase im-
munity to false alarms. Unlike
traditional intelligent detectors,
the Acclimate detector has a microprocessor in the detector head that processes
alarm data. As a result, the Acclimate detector adjusts its sensitivity automatically,
without operator intervention or control panel programming.
Areas where the Acclimate detector is especially useful include office complexes,
schools, college campuses, manufacturing and industrial facilities, and anywhere
else the use of a particular area may change. The Acclimate detector automatically
adjusts its sensitivity to acclimate itself to the environment.
Installation
The SS-APT plug-in detector uses a separate base to simplify installation, service,
and maintenance. A special tool allows maintenance personnel to plug-in and re-
move detectors without using a ladder. Mount base on an electrical backbox at least
1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. Suitable mounting back boxes include:
4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.
3.5" (8.89 cm) or 4.0" (10.16 cm) octagonal box.
Single-gang box (except for relay or isolator base).
With B501BH or B501BHT base, use a 4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.
With B224RB or B224BI base, use a 3.5" (8.89 cm) octagonal box, or a 4.0"
(10.16 cm) octagonal or square box.
NOTES: 1) 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. 2) When using relay or sounder bases, consult SS-LI
data sheet for device limitations between isolator modules and isolator bases.
APPLICATION NOTE: The SS-APT detector has the unique ability to adjust sensitiv-
ity according to the environment, based on heat and smoke levels. Avoid installing
these detectors in locations that are susceptible to rapid and high temperature
changes. An example of an incorrect application would be near or in line with the
output of a self-contained heater.
DETECTOR SPACING: Gamewell recommends spacing detectors in compliance with
NFPA 72. In low airflow applications with smooth ceilings, space detectors 30 feet
(9.144 m). For specific information regarding detector spacing, placement, and spe-
cial applications, refer to NFPA 72. System Smoke Detector Application Guide, docu-
ment A05-1003, is available at systemsensor.com. SS-APT
