Architect & Engineering Specifications
The Photoelectric Smoke alarm shall be a Gentex Model 7100/7103/7200/7203 or approved equal which shall provide at least the
following features and functions.
1. Nominal sensitivity shall be 2.5%.
2. The alarm shall utilize an infrared LED sensing circuit which pulses in 4 to 5 second intervals when subjected to smoke. After 2
consecutive pulses in smoke, the alarm will activate.
3. The alarm shall provide minimum 5-to-1 signal-to-noise ratio in the optics frame to assure stability of operation in environments
of high RF and transient conditions.
4. The sensing chamber shall be fully screened to prevent entrance of small insects, thus reducing the probability of false alarms.
5. A solid state piezo alarm rated at 90dBA at 10ft.
6. A visual LED monitor (condition indicator) will slow pulse in normal operation and rapid pulse in alarm.
7. An easily accessible test knob shall be provided. The test knob in the TEST position will simulate an actual smoke condition of
approximately 3.5% causing the detector to alarm within 20-36 seconds. It will also have the capability of testing to 0.85% as a
required minimum. A magnetic switch closure or other switch closure, or smoke generating equipment which does not scatter
the light beam or test sensitivity is not sufficient, as indicated in National Code.
8. The detector shall have tandem interconnect capability of up to 12 units or 6 units with relay.
9. The alarm shall have tandem interconnection capabilites of 12 units on 7100/7100T/7100H/7103/7103T/7103H/7200/
7200T/7200H/7203/7203T/7203H and shall have tandem interconnection capabilites of 6 units on 7100F/7100TF/7100HF/
7103F/7103TF/7103HF/7200F/7200TF/7200HF/7203F/7203TF/7203HF.
10.The manufacturer shall provide other compatible alarm models with the following optional features: a) 135°F isolated thermal
with normally opened contact for remote connection to local alarm or annunciator; b) 135°F integral thermal; c) auxiliary Form
A/Form C relay contacts for initiating remote functions and annunciation; d) relay option that is capable of activation by tandem
interconnect wire. Thermal sensor shall be self-restoring.
11. Unit must be UL 217 listed for both wall and ceiling mount.
12.Unit shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and the Bureau of Standards and
Appeals (NYC).
All equipment shall be completely factory assembled, wired and tested, and the contractor shall be prepared to submit a certified
letter testifying to this condition. Alarms which do not meet all of the requirements of this specification will not be considered.
