Discovery Photoelectric Smoke Sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview
The VF5601-0M Discovery Photoelectric Smoke Sensor is designed with a white polycarbonate housing and nickel-plated stainless steel terminals. It features indicator LEDs that flash in standby mode and remain steady red during an alarm.

Operation
The sensor contains a printed circuit board with a light-proof chamber and an optical measuring system. An infrared LED emits light every second, which is scattered by smoke onto a photo-diode, generating a signal processed for transmission.

Standard Features
  • Compatible with Elite and Elite RS-M control panels
  • Five operating modes with drift compensation
  • Two status LEDs and user memory
  • Alarm flag for fast reporting and conventional false safe mode
  • Polarity insensitive

Operating Modes
The detector has five modes with varying pre-alarm and alarm thresholds, some with a 30-second alarm delay.

Engineering Specification
The VF5601-0M is UL Listed and compatible with Elite addressable fire alarm control panels. It features sensor drift compensation, RF suppression, and an automatic false safe mode.

Technical Specifications
  • Stand current: 400µA
  • Alarm current: 3.4mA
  • Operating voltage: 17-28 VDC
  • Operating temperature: 32°F to 140°F
  • Storage temperature: -22°F to 176°F
  • Weight: 3.68 oz (detector), 5.62 oz (with base)
  • Dimensions: Diameter 3.93", Height 1.65" (1.96" with base)

Discovery Photoelectric Smoke Sensor-1

Discovery Photoelectric Smoke Sensor: VF5601-0M SLC Devices USCG Type Approved 161.002/A53/0 Standard Features - Compatible with Elite and Elite RS-M control panels - 5 operating modes - Drift compensation - Two status LEDs - Address is set by X-Pert card and is stored in base - User memory - Alarm flag for fast alarm reporting - Conventional false safe mode - Polarity insensitive The VF5601-0M Discovery Photoelectric detector uses the same outer case as the ionization smoke detector and is distinguished by the indicator LEDs which will flash when the detector is in standby state and steady red in alarm. The housing is white polycarbonate and will not fade. Terminals are nickel plated stainless steel. Bases and cards are not included with detectors, please order separately. Top View - Photoelectric Smoke Detector Within the case is a printed circuit board which, on one side, has the light-proof chamber with integral gauze surrounding the optical measuring system and, on the other, the signal processing and communications electronics. An infrared light emitting diode is arranged at an obtuse angle to the photodiode. The photo-diode has an integral daylight-blocking filter. The IR LED emits a burst of light every second. In clear air the photodiode receives no light directly from the IR LED, because of the angular arrangement and the chamber Baffles. When smoke enters the chamber it scatters light from the emitter IR LED onto the photo-diode in an amount related to the smoke characteristics and density. The photo-diode signal is processed to provide an analog value for transmission when the detector is interrogated. 30 Second Alarm Delay Photoelectric Detector Operating Modes Fireboy-Xintex, Inc.
