Fig. 58 -- Controller Assembly
Air is introduced to the duct smoke detec tor sensor’s
sensing chamber through a sampling tube that e xtends into
the HVAC duct and is directed back into the ventilation
system through a (shorter) exhaust tube. The difference in
air pressure between the two tubes pulls the sampled air
through the sensing chamber. When a sufficient amount of
smoke is detected in the sensing chamber, the sensor
signals an alarm state and the controller automatically
take s the appropriate ac tion to shut down fans a nd
blowers, change over a ir handling systems, notify the fire
alarm control panel, etc.
The sensor uses a process called differential sensing to
prevent gradual environmental changes from triggering
false al arms. A rapid change in environmental conditions,
such as smoke from a fire, causes the sensor to signal an
alarm state but dust and debris accumulated over time
does not.
For installa tions using two sensors, the duct smoke
dete ctor does not differentiate which sensor signals an
alarm or trouble condition.

Smoke Detector Locations
Supply Air — The Supply Air smoke detector sensor is
located to the left of the unit’s i ndoor (supply) fan. See
Fig. 60. Access is through the fan access panel. There is
no sampling tube used at this location. The sampling tube
inlet extends through the side plate of the fan housing
(into a high pressure area). The control ler is loc ated on a
bracket to the right of the return filter, accessed through
the lift--off filter panel.
