[7.1]wIRINg INSTRUCTIONS

Disconnect power from the communication line before installing the D355PL 
duct smoke detector. 

The D355PL detectors are designed for easy wiring. The housing provides a 
terminal strip with clamping plates. Wiring connections are made by sliding 
the bare end under the plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw. See 

Figure 6

 below for system wiring.

[7.2] SET ThE ADDRESS

Set the desired address on the sensor head code wheel switches. on the back 
of the sensor head.

[8] VERIfICATION Of OPERATION
[8.1]INSTALL ThE COVER

Install the covers making sure that the cover fits into the base groove. Tighten 
the seven screws that are captured in the covers. Note that the cover must be 
properly installed for proper operation of the sensor.

NOTE: Verify sensor cover gasket is properly seated on cover prior to cover 
installation.

[8.2] POwER ThE UNIT

Activate the communication line on terminals COM + and COM –.

[8.3] DETECTOR ChECk

Standby – If programmed by the system control panel, look for the presence of 
the flashing LEDs through the transparent housing cover. The LED will flash 
with each communication.

Trouble – If programmed by the system control panel and the detector LEDs 
do not flash, then the detector lacks power (check wiring, missing or improp-
erly placed cover, panel programming, or power supply), the sensor head is 
missing (replace), or the unit is defective (return for repair).

[8.4]DUCT SMOkE DETECTOR TEST & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Test  and  maintain  duct  smoke  detectors  as  recommended  in  NFPA  72.  The 
tests contained in this manual were devised to assist maintenance personnel 
in verification of proper detector operation. 

Before  conducting  these  tests,  notify  the  proper  authorities  that  the  smoke 
detection system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system 
under test to prevent unwanted alarms.

[8.4.1]TEST ThE UNIT

1.  M02-04-00  Magnet  Test  –  This  sensor  can  be  functionally  tested  with  a 

test magnet. The test magnet electronically simulates smoke in the sensing 
chamber, testing the sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.

2.  Remote Test Accessory – The use of a remote accessory for visible indica-

tion of power and alarm is recommended. 

   Verify system control panel alarm status and control panel execution of all 

intended auxiliary functions (i.e. fan shutdown, damper control, etc.).

   Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor sta-

tus. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, 
latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical documentation for 
sensor LED operation and expected delay to alarm.

[8.4.2] ThE DETECTOR MUST BE RESET By ThE SySTEM CONTROL PANEL
[8.4.3]SMOkE ENTRy TEST USINg AEROSOL SMOkE

This test is intended for low-flow systems (100-500 FPM). If the air speed is 
greater than 500 FPM, use a conventional manometer to measure differential 
pressure between the sampling tubes, as described under Measurement Tests 
on Page 3.

Drill a 

1

4

-inch hole 3 feet upstream from the duct smoke detector. With the air 

handler on, measure the air velocity with an anemometer. Air speed must be 
at least 100 FPM. Spray aerosol smoke* into the duct through the 

1

4

-inch hole 

for five seconds. Wait two minutes for the duct smoke detector to alarm. If the 
duct smoke detector alarms, air is flowing through the detector. Remove the 
duct smoke detector cover and blow out the residual aerosol smoke from the 
chamber and reset the duct smoke detector at the panel. Use duct tape to seal 
the aerosol smoke entry hole. Remember to replace the cover after the test or 
the detector will not function properly.

*Aerosol smoke can be purchased from Home Safeguard Industries at home-
safeguard.com, model 25S Smoke Detector Tester, and Chekkit Smoke Detector 
Tester model CHEK02 and CHEK06 available from SDi. When used properly, 
the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector to go into alarm. Re-
fer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for proper use of the canned 
smoke agent.

CAUTION

Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by 
manufacturer. Misuse or overuse to these products may have long term adverse 
effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer’s 
published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements.

[9]DETECTOR CLEANINg PROCEDURES

Notify  the  proper  authorities  that  the  smoke  detector  system  is  undergoing 
maintenance, and that the system will temporarily be out of service. Disable 
the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms and 
possible dispatch of the fire department.

[9.1]DETECTOR SENSOR

1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2.  Remove the sensor cover by pressing firmly on each of the four removal 

tabs that hold the cover in place.

3.  Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning is re-

quired continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 7.

4.  Remove the chamber cover/screen assembly by pulling it straight out.
5.  Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from 

the sensing chamber.

6.  Reinstall the chamber cover/screen assembly by sliding the edge over the 

sensing chamber. Turn until it is firmly in place.

7.  Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently pushing 

it until it locks into place.

8. Reinstall the detector.

[9.2]REINSTALLATION

1. Reinstall the detector in its housing.
2. Restore system power. 
3. Perform Detector Check.
4.  Notify  the  proper  authorities  testing  has  been  completed  and  the  smoke 

detector system is back in operation.

The  RTS451/RTS151/RTS451KEY/RTS151KEY  Remote  Test  Station  facilitates 
test of the alarm capability of the duct smoke detector. These accessories pro-
vide the stimulus to initiate an alarm condition at the detector. The D355PL 
duct smoke detector must be reset by the system control panel.

(wIThOUT A TEST COIL):

A sensor with suffix "R" is available for use inside the D355PL. Suffix "R"  
represents  a  head  with  Remote  Test  Capability.  Using  this  head  inside  the 
D355PL eliminates the need for a test coil when wired to a RTS451/RTS151/ 
RTS451KEY/RTS151KEY Remote Test Station.

To  install  the  RTS451/RTS151/RTS451KEY/RTS151KEY,  using  the  sensor  with  
remote test capability connect the device as shown in 

Figure 9

; wire runs must 

be limited to 25 ohms or less per interconnecting wire. 

NOTE:  Resistor  assembly  must  be  in  place  between  RA+  and  OUT+  
inside the D355PL for Remote Test function to operate.
