e PAD300-PD is an intelligent addressable photoelectric smoke
detector. e PAD300-PHD shares the same features as the PAD300-
PD and includes a thermal sensor. e photo and heat sensors on the
PAD300-PHD work independently and generate a separate signal to
the panel.
Each detector includes one (1) LED to indicate the device status.
e LED ashes momentarily in normal conditions and ashes
at a fast rate when activated. e LED can be turned o using the
programming soware.
e PAD300-PD and PAD300-PHD have a maximum spacing
limitation of 30. Place the detector as close to the center of the
ceiling as possible. It may be wall mounted within 12 inches from
the ceiling. To minimize false alarms, avoid placing in areas where
excessive dust, humidity, air movement, or extreme temperature
is present. Refer to NFPA 72 for more details regarding spacing,
placement and special applications.
e PAD300-PD and PAD300-PHD communicate on a proprietary
protocol to the addressable re alarm control panel. Each detector
must be connected to either the IPA series, AFC series, or ARC re
alarm control panel for proper operation. For detector sensitivity
settings and supervision, please refer to the panel installation
instructions.

B. Specications C. Installation
Installation must meet the requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). It is recommended to follow guidelines as
described in the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 72.
1. Before connecting a device to the SLC loop, take the following
precautions to prevent potential damage to the SLC or device.
• Use only the PAD300 series bases PAD300-4DB, PAD300-
6DB, PAD300-SB and PAD300-LFSB (supplied separately).
• Conrm the eld wiring on device is correctly installed on
the base. Refer to the base manual.
• Enable the locking feature if needed. Refer to section D for
details of the locking feature.
2. Set the desired address using the DIP switch located on back of
the sensor. See section E for addressing instructions.
3. Plug detector into base and turn clockwise to secure in place.
e device includes a tamperproof feature that locks the detector and
does not allow removal without the use of a tool.
KEEP DUST COVER ON DETECTOR DURING
CONSTRUCTION. REMOVE DUST COVER TO ALLOW THE
DETECTOR TO DETECT SMOKE AND HEAT.
DETECTORS ARE NOT TO BE USED WITH DETECTOR GUARDS
UNLESS THE COMBINATION HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND
FOUND SUITABLE FOR THAT PURPOSE.

*Standby current is the current the device consumes when the device
is in a non-activated condition and where no communication current
is transmitted to the re alarm control panel.
