IR-Only Enable / Disable The IR-only setting allows the Detector to declare a Fire on events where UV is not present or is obscured. In applications where UV absorbing fumes are commonly present in high concentrations (these fumes are usually toxic and should require masks or breathing equipment), the Detector will function.
Model SS4-A/-A2 Multi-Spectrum Digital Electro-Optical Fire Detector Installation Guide and Operating Manual MAN0931_V3_1510-001_RevH_06-13 SECTION 2 INSTALLATION Installation Instructions This section describes the installation of the Model SS4-A/-A2 Detector for the Stand-Alone relay mode. It is recommended that junction boxes be used to wire the Detectors. Determine the configuration settings for the device(s) and the number of connections to be used (Fire, Fire Verify, Fault, and Power) depending on the desired Detection Range and the Fire Control Panel type used (refer to the Fire Control Panel Manual for details).
Model SS4-A/-A2 Multi-Spectrum Digital Electro-Optical Fire Detector Installation Guide and Operating Manual MAN0931_V3_1510-001_RevH_06-13 2.2.4 Wiring the Detector Module. a. Insert the cables into the metal enclosure base through one of the conduit openings. Refer to Figure 6. b. Connect the 24 Volt DC power supply wires to pins 1 (-) and 4 (+) of the J1 or J2 connector, observing the correct polarity.
