HS-100 duct smoke detector

Air Products and Controls introduced new HS-100 duct smoke detector specifically designed to protect applications where air-sampling style duct detectors can't be used. The detector unit mounts in air shafts, plenum spaces and other low air velocity areas, and offers the greatest range of voltage input options and is available off-the-shelf in both ionization, HS-100-N, or photoelectric models, HS-100-P. The HS-100 Series duct smoke detector installs in surface or pendant mount configurations suitable for a variety of low or no air velocity conditions.

An all-in-one design eliminates the need to purchase and assemble a separate base or test unit. The low-profile unit mounts to a standard 4" square back box or can be installed using off-the-shelf mounting components.

HS-100 can be precisely matched to the type of sensing best suited for a given application. The industry-leading temperature coverage range spans from 32° to 140°F for the photoelectric model and 32° to 158°F for the ionization model.

HS-100 requires very low current draw for a universal fit with existing equipment. It is the only special application-suited duct smoke detector offering the full complement of input voltages including 230VAC, 120VAC and 24VAC/DC.

HS-100 has in-place wiring capability, extended high temperature ratings, and different connection features. Up to 30 units can be directly interconnected to each other and/or to APC's MS- and MSR-Series Remote Accessories. The HS-100 can also be integrated with APC's conventional external mount detectors to form a complete detection system. In the event of smoke detection, entire HVAC systems can be triggered to shut down, preventing the spread of fire and smoke through an air handling system's fans and blowers.

An on-board LED display clearly indicates alarm and standby functions at a glance. Installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance are simplified with a built-in magnet test facility and labeled, front-accessible wiring terminals.
