NO-400-000 1 I56-3038-001This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel systeminstallation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au-thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance wheninstalled in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA);see NFPA 72.GENERAL DESCRIPTIONModel FSC-851 is a plug-in type smoke sensor that is a photoelectronic sensingchamber combined with Carbon Monoxide (CO), thermal, and infra-red (IR)sensors with addressable-analog communications. The sensors transmit ananalog representation of smoke density over a communication line to a controlpanel. Rotary decade switches are provided for setting the sensor’s address.Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status.An output is provided for connection to an optional remote LED annunciator(P/N RA400Z).Notifier panels offer different features sets across different models. As a result,certain features of the FSC-851 may be available on some control panels, butnot on others. The possible features available in the FSC-851, if supported bythe control unit are:1. The panel controls the LED operation on the sensor. Operational modesare RED blink, RED continuous, GREEN blink, and off.2. The remote output may be synchronized to the LED operation or con-trolled independent of the LEDs.Please refer to the operation manual for the UL listed control unit for specificoperation of the FSC-851.The FSC-851 requires compatible addressable communications to functionproperly. Connect these sensors to listed-compatible control panels only.SPACINGNotifier recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In lowair flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart. Forspecific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special appli-cations, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector Application Guide,available from Notifier.WIRING GUIDEAll wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code,applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority HavingJurisdiction.Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires shouldbe color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Im-proper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in theevent of a fire.Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the wiring diagram, seeFigure 1.2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 2.3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the basewhile turning it clockwise to secure it in place.4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit andactivate the communication line.5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.FSC-851 Intelligent PhotoelectricMulti-Criteria Smoke SensorI56-3038-001INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS12 Clintonville RoadNorthford, CT 06472Phone: (203)484-7161SPECIFICATIONSOperating Voltage Range: 15 to 32 VDCStandby Current: 300μA @ 24 VDC (one communication every 5 seconds with LED blink enabled)Max.

Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke.Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.TAMPER-RESISTANCEModel FSC-851 includes a tamper-resistant capability that prevents their re-moval from the bracket without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual fordetails on making use of this capability.TESTINGBefore testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoingmaintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system toprevent unwanted alarms.All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Test-ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensorsoffer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance withNFPA 72.The sensor can be tested in the following ways:A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test mag-net electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing thesensor electronics and connections to the control panel.1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.2. The sensor should alarm the panel.
