The Innovair DH100LP model is a photoelectric detector
approved for an extended air speed range of 100 to 4000
feet per minute (0.5 m/s to 20.3 m/s) and has an opera-
tional temperature range of 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C).
Before Installing
Please thoroughly read the System Sensor Guide for Proper
Use of Smoke Detectors in Duct Applications (A05-1004),
which provides detailed information on detector spacing,
placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies
of this manual are available online at www.systemsensor.com
or via System Sensor’s toll free fax-back service, Documents
on Demand at 800/736-7672. NFPA Standards 72 and 90A
should also be referenced for detailed information.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of
this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained
regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector
should be cleaned at least once a year.

[1] General Description
An HVAC system supplies conditioned air to virtually every
area of a building. Smoke introduced into this air duct
system will be distributed throughout the entire building.
Smoke detectors designed for use in air duct systems are
used to sense the presence of smoke in the duct.
Model DH100LP Air Duct Smoke Detectors utilizes photo-
electric technology for the detection of smoke. This detec-
tion method when combined with an efficient housing
design samples air passing through the duct and allows
detection of a developing hazardous condition. When suf-
ficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is initiated at the
fire control panel monitoring the detector, and appropriate
action can be taken to shut off fans, blowers, change over
air handling systems, etc. These actions can facilitate the
management of toxic smoke and fire gases throughout the
areas served by the duct system.
DH100LP detectors are designed to operate with 12/24VDC
UL listed compatible 2-wire control panels. Alarm current
must be limited to 130mA or less by the control panel.
Auxiliary relay contacts for control purposes are not avail-
able for use with the DH100LP. Control must initiate from
the control panel.
For testing, the alarm can be enabled by a magnet activated
test switch or by the optional remote test station. The duct
smoke detector latches into alarm state when an alarm
occurs. A green LED flashes to indicate power, a red LED
signals local alarm indication, and optional accessories
offer a variety of annunciation capabilities.
The DH100LP can be reset by a momentary power interrup-
tion, the reset button on the front cover, the control panel,
or remote reset accessory.
[2] Limitations Of Duct Smoke Detectors
WARNING
The National Fire Protection Association has established
that DUCT DETECTORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR PROTECTION
as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they a substi-
tute for early warning in a building’s regular fire detection
system.
System Sensor supports this position and strongly recom-
mends that the user read NFPA Standards 90A, 72, and 101.
The DH100LP Air Duct Smoke Detectors are listed per UL
268A.
WARNING
This device will not operate without electrical power.
Fire situations may cause an interruption of power. The
system safeguards should be discussed with your local fire
protection specialist.
WARNING
This device will not sense smoke unless the ventilation
system is operating and the cover is installed.
