SS-T Series
Intelligent Addressable Plug-In
Thermal (Heat) Detectors
Description
Gamewell’s SmartScan
TM
intelli-
gent plug-in smoke detectors with
integral communication provide
features that surpass conven-
tional detectors. Detector sensi-
6936pho1.jpg
tivity can be programmed in the
control panel software. Sensitiv-
ity is continuously monitored and
SS-T in SS-B6 base
reported to the panel. Point ID
capability allows each detector’s
address to be set with decade
address switches, providing exact detector locations for selective maintenance
and troubleshooting.
SS-T Series thermal detectors
use an innovative ther-
mistor sensing circuit to produce 135°F/57°C fixed-temperature (SS-T) and rate-
of-rise thermal detection (SS-TR) in a low-profile package.
SS-TH
provides fixed
high-temperature detection at 190°F/88°C in a low-profile package as well. These
thermal detectors provide cost effective, intelligent property protection in a vari-
ety of applications. SS-T Series addressable detectors are compatible with
Gamewell’s 602, 610, 632, 654 and 658 addressable fire alarm control panels
with a SmartScan
TM
SLC.
Features
• Sleek, low-profile, stylish design.
• State-of-the-art thermistor technology
for fast response.
• SS-TR rate-of-rise model: 15°F (8.3°C)
per minute.
• SS-T fixed heat, Factory preset at
135°F (57°C).
• SS-TH high temperature model of
190°F (88°C).
• Addressable by devices via decade
address switches.
• Rotary, decimal addressing (1 – 99)
• Two-wire SLC connection.
• Visible LEDs “blink” every time the unit
is addressed.
• 360°-field viewing angle of the visual
alarm indicators (two bicolor LEDs).
LEDs blink green in Normal condition
and turn on steady red in Alarm.
• Integral communications and built-in
device-type identification.
• Remote test feature from the panel.
• Built-in functional test switch activated
by external magnet.
• Low standby current.
• Built-in tamper-resistant feature.
• Designed for direct-surface or electrical-
box mounting.
• Sealed against back pressure.
• Plugs into separate base for ease of
installation and maintenance. Separate
base allows interchange of photoelec-
tric, ionization and thermal sensors.
• SEMS screws for wiring of the separate
base.
• Constructed of off-white Bayblend®,
designed to commercial standards, and
offers an attractive appearance.
• 94-5V plastic flammability rating.
• Remote LED output connection to
optional RA400Z remote LED annuncia-
tor.
• Optional sounder, relay, and isolator
bases.
• Optional recessed (RMK400) or surface
(SMK400) base mounting kits.
Installation
The SS-T Series of plug-in intelligent, addressable thermal detectors use a sepa-
rate base to simplify installation, service, and maintenance. Installation instruc-
tions are shipped with each detector.
Mount base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which is at least 1.5" (3.81
cm) deep. Suitable back boxes include:
• 4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.
• 3.5" (8.89 cm) or 4.0" (10.16 cm) octagonal box.
• Single-gang box
(except relay or isolator base).
•
With B501BH or B501BHT base,
use a 4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.
•
With B224RB or B224BI base,
use a 3.5" (8.89 cm) or 4.0" (10.16 cm) oc-
tagonal box, or a 4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.
NOTES: 1)
Because of the inherent supervision provided by the SLC loop,
end-of-line resis-
tors
are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or branches are permitted for Style 4 (Class “B”) wiring.
2)
When using
relay or sounder bases,
consult the SS-LI data sheet for device limitations
between isolator modules and isolator bases.
