Napco Security (Firewolf) FWC-FSLC-SMK - Addressable Analog SLC Photoelectric Smoke Detector Head.
The detection chamber consists of a light emitting diode (LED) and photodiode arrangement. The chamber is designed such that light emitted by the LED cannot normally reach the photo diode. In the event of fire, particles of smoke enter the chamber and scatter the light.
As the smoke level increases, the scattering effect increases, causing more light to hit the photodiode. The chamber contains a unique baffle design that allows smoke to enter the chamber while preventing external light from affecting the photodiode. The photodiode input level is sampled to sense smoke density.
When the smoke density exceeds a preset threshold, the sensor transmits an interrupt to the fire alarm control panel indicating a fire condition. The fire alarm control panel can adjust the sensor threshold to compensate for contamination.
Up to 127 devices are permitted on each loop. A sensor address can be set by a hand held programming unit. The sensor mounts to an electronics-free base and incorporates a locking mechanism for secure installation.
The base provides mounting slots, terminals for field wiring and a third contact for a remote indicator/LED. The sensor incorporates dual LEDs for easy viewing of sensor status.
