WARNING
TO PREVENT DETECTOR CONTAMINATION AND
SUBSEQUENT WARRANTY CANCELLATION, THE
SMOKE DETECTOR MUST REMAIN COVERED UNTIL
THE AREA IS CLEAN AND DUST FREE.
INSTALLING THE BASE
1. To insure proper installation of the detector head to the
base, all the wires should be properly addressed at
installation:
(A) Position all the wires flat against terminals.
(B) Fasten the wires away from connector terminals.
2. If you use a jumper wire to connect the poles of
terminal 2 and 5 when testing the detector loop
continuity, be sure to remove the jumper wire prior to
the installation of the detector head.
3. The end-of-line device shown in fig. 1(a) and 1(b)
should be compatible with the control unit. The
end-of-line supervisory relay used should be rated for
the DC power voltage used.
4. Open area smoke detectors are intended for mounting
on a ceiling or a wall in accordance with the fire
standard in your country.
5. The base of the smoke detector can be mounted
directly onto an electrical junction box such as an
octagonal (75mm, 90mm or 100mm), a round (75mm),
or a square (100mm) box without using any type of
mechanical adapter.
INSTALLING THE HEAD
1. Align the components as shown in Figure 2.
2. Mate the detector head onto the base and twist
clockwise to secure it.
3. Do not install the detector head until the area is
thoroughly cleaned of construction debris, dusts, etc.
The maximum number of smoke detector installed in
the same loop is 30 units.

ADJUSTING THE RELAY FOR NO/NC
The normal condition for the relay is normally open
(NO).
1. To adjust the normal condition of the relay to
normally closed (NC), insert a screwdriver into the
rectangular hole located on the side between the front
cover and base and rotate to remove the front cover.
2. Refer to figure 3. There is a jumper head next to the
relay on the PCB. Remove the jumper head and reinsert
it in the NC position.
3. Carefully replace the front cover.

.
TESTING
1. All the alarm signal services, releasing device and
extinguisher system should be disengaged during the
test period and must be re-engaged immediately at the
conclusion of testing.
2. After energizing the detector head for approximately
one minute, check to see the indicator green LED
flashing once every 3~5 seconds. If green LED fails to
flash, it indicates the non-functioning of the detector or
faulty wiring. Re-check the wiring or replace the
detector if necessary.
3. Allow smoke from a cotton wick or a test smoke
aerosol to enter the detector-sensing chamber for at
least 10 seconds. When sufficient smoke has entered
the chamber, the detector will signal an alarm, this
being visible by a continuous illumination of the LED.
Reset each detector and/or control unit before
attempting to test any additional detectors in the same
zone. If the alarm fails in this step, it indicates a
defective unit, which requires service.

Overview

The NB338 Photoelectric Smoke Detector is a device designed for fire detection, available in both 2-wire and 4-wire configurations for multiple-station systems. It is intended for mounting on a ceiling or wall in accordance with local fire standards.

Function Description

The primary function of the NB338 detector is to sense the presence of smoke or heat, triggering an alarm. It utilizes photoelectric technology for smoke detection and can include a thermistor for heat sensing in specific models (indicated by 'H' in the model number). When sufficient smoke or heat is detected, the device signals an alarm, which is visually indicated by a continuous illumination of its LED. In normal operation, the green LED flashes once every 3-5 seconds to indicate proper functioning. The detector integrates with a compatible control panel, and its relay can be configured for "normally open" (NO) or "normally closed" (NC) operation, depending on system requirements.

Important Technical Specifications

The NB338 series offers various models with different wiring, thermal, and voltage specifications:

Wiring:

  • 2-wire models: NB338-2, NB338-2L, NB338-2H, NB338-2HL
  • 4-wire models: NB338-4-12, NB338-4-24, NB338-4H-12, NB338-4H-24

Thermal (Heat Sensor):

  • Models with 'H' (e.g., NB338-2H, NB338-4H-12) include a heat sensor with a fixed temperature alarm point of 57°C. Other models are purely photoelectric smoke detectors.

Voltage (DC):

  • 12V: NB338-4-12, NB338-4H-12
  • 24V: NB338-4-24, NB338-4H-24
  • 28/12V: NB338-2, NB338-2L, NB338-2H, NB338-2HL (This likely indicates compatibility with both 12V and 28V systems, or a range within which it operates, but the specification lists 28/12V as a single value for 2-wire models).

Current Specifications (Max.):

  • Standby Current:
    • 90 µA for 2-wire models (NB338-2, NB338-2L)
    • 100 µA for 2-wire heat sensor models (NB338-2H, NB338-2HL)
    • 320 µA for 4-wire models (NB338-4-12, NB338-4-24, NB338-4H-12, NB338-4H-24)
  • Alarm Current:
    • 70mA for 2-wire models
    • 35mA for 4-wire models
  • Surge Current:
    • 120 µA for non-heat sensor models
    • 130 µA for heat sensor models
  • Start-Up Time: 60 Seconds for all models.
  • Permissible Current: 80mA for all models.

Other Specifications:

  • Frequency (Green LED flash): 3-5 Seconds (indicating normal operation).
  • Alarm Contact: Form A for 4-wire models. 2-wire models typically signal alarm through current draw on the loop.
  • Base Model: P/N772912 or P/N774912, depending on the specific detector model.
  • Relay Contact Rating: 1A@30VDC, 0.5A@125VAC.
  • Maximum number of detectors per loop: 30 units.
  • Operating Temperature for Heat Sensor Test: Between 65°C and 80°C.
  • Air Velocity Limitation: Not suitable for installation in areas where air velocities exceed 300 ft/min.

Usage Features

Installation:

  • Mounting: The detector base can be mounted directly onto standard electrical junction boxes (octagonal 75mm, 90mm, or 100mm; round 75mm; or square 100mm) without requiring mechanical adapters.
  • Wiring: Wires should be positioned flat against terminals and fastened away from connector terminals. Jumper wires used for loop continuity testing must be removed before installing the detector head.
  • End-of-Line Device: The end-of-line device (resistor or supervisory relay) must be compatible with the control unit and rated for the DC power voltage used.
  • Head Installation: The detector head mates onto the base with a clockwise twist to secure it. It is recommended to install the head only after the area is thoroughly cleaned of construction debris and dust.
  • Relay Adjustment: The relay's normal condition can be adjusted from "normally open" (NO) to "normally closed" (NC) by accessing a jumper head on the PCB, which is revealed by removing the front cover.

Testing:

  • Pre-Test Precautions: All alarm signal services, releasing devices, and extinguisher systems must be disengaged during testing and re-engaged immediately afterward.
  • Functionality Check: After powering up, the green LED should flash every 3-5 seconds. Absence of flashing indicates a non-functioning detector or faulty wiring.
  • Smoke Test: Introduce smoke (e.g., from a cotton wick or test aerosol) into the sensing chamber for at least 10 seconds. An alarm is indicated by continuous LED illumination. The detector and/or control unit must be reset before testing other detectors in the same zone.
  • Heat Sensor Test (for 'H' models): Direct warm air (65-80°C) at the thermistor guard for up to 30 seconds. An alarm should trigger, indicated by continuous LED illumination. The heat source must be removed immediately upon alarm.

Maintenance Features

  • Cleaning: The recommended minimum maintenance involves an annual cleaning of dust from the detector head using a vacuum cleaner. This should be performed in accordance with NFPA-72A standards and the specific environment.
  • Contamination Warning: To prevent contamination and warranty cancellation, the smoke detector must remain covered until the area is clean and dust-free.
  • Non-Serviceable Design: The detector head is factory-sealed and not intended to be opened for servicing by users. Opening the detector head will void the warranty. Defective units should be returned for service or replacement.

Warranty:

  • WIZMART TECHNOLOGY, Inc. provides a limited warranty for 12 months from the date of purchase (not to exceed 18 months after shipment by the manufacturer) against defects in material and workmanship. For warranty claims, customers must contact WIZMART TECHNOLOGY directly for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before returning goods, which must be prepaid.
