DESCRIPTION
The Series PSD-7155 and PSD-7156 photoelectric smoke
detectors respond to a broad spectrum of both flaming and
smoldering fire conditions. They incorporate state-of-the-art,
solid state, low-voltage circuitry featuring SMT (Surface Mount
Technology) and are designed for 2-wire and 4-wire installa-
tion with the proper base. The detectors are designed for
open area protection (UL 268) and for duct applications (UL
268A). They may be installed in fire protection systems and
systems intended for releasing device service with commer-
cially available fire suppression or detection control units,
provided compatibility has been established.
These models operate over a 10.2 to 36.8 Vdc range (2WB
base only, 24 V nominal) with compatible control units. EMI/
RFI noise immunity up to 20 volts/meter assures virtual elimi-
nation of false alarms from electrical interference.
High signal-to-noise ratio permits a significant reduction in
light baffling, thereby improving smoke entry characteristics
while reducing nuisance alarms. The Fenwal photoelectric
smoke detectors are, therefore, ideal for fire alarm and sup-
pression systems service.
The models PSD-7155 and PSD-7156 are set at a nominal
sensitivity of 3.25% per foot smoke obscuration. The PSD-
7155P has a nominal sensitivity of 1.45% per foot. Sensitivity
ranges can be measured in place using a voltmeter and a
Fenwal meter (ST-001). Readings found to be within speci-
fied limits are acceptable for normal field applications. The
models PSD-7155 and PSD-7156 are rated for 0-300 fpm air
velocity while the model PSD-7155P is rated for 0-4000 fpm
air velocity.
The model PSD-7156 includes a thermistor heat detector with
135F (57C) set point. Operation of the thermistor detector
is independent of smoke detector circuitry. For releasing ser-
vice applications, thermistor actuation electrically shorts the
detector circuit and may be used to release suppressant.
Base installation is both simple and fast because of screw-
type connections. The detector is fitted to the base by a twist-
to-lock action. A removable locking tab secures the head to
base to provide a high degree of vandal resistance. An extra
fine mesh insect screen protecting the chamber area reduces
potential nuisance alarms.
Photoelectric detectors may be interchanged with Fenwal ion-
ization detectors when using multifunction base configura-
tion. Optional bases are shown in Table 4.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
These detectors are designed for operation with control units
and releasing devices having specific voltage and current char-
acteristics that are compatible with the detector circuitry. The
information provided under the heading CONTROL UNITS and
Table 3 are intended to assist in proper application of the
detector in a system. Reference the UL compatibility listing
for other panels listed.
ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
Models PSD-715X have been tested by Underwriters Labo-
ratories for environmental stability. Some of the basic con-
ditions that must be met for compliance are listed below
and are presented to help serve as application guidelines:

SPACING (OPEN AREA LOCATION)
The PSD-715X Series detectors are intended for use on 30
foot centers, smooth ceilings up to 15 feet high with minimum
air circulation. Resultant 900 square foot spacing may be used
as a reasonable guide for comparable applications. Where
special conditions exist (ceiling obstruction, high air exchange
rates, etc.), reduced square footage spacing must be used to
achieve adequate protection. Computer rooms and other such
installations may require spacing with a maximum of 200
square feet due to high air exchange rates. For additional
information, consult NFPA Standard 72 and the Fenwal Auto-
matic Fire Detector Application Engineering Manual. For spe-
cial applications, consult your Fenwal technical representative.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
Testing shall be performed upon installation of the detector
and once a year thereafter as stated in NFPA-72 latest edi-
tion. All alarm signal devices, releasing devices, and extin-
guishing systems should be disengaged while the test is being
performed and re-engaged at the conclusion of testing.
Detector sensitivity shall be checked within one year of in-
stallation and every alternative year thereafter as stated in
NFPA 72. To conduct sensitivity testing, Sensitivity Tester,
Model ST-001 (P/N 70-500000-002) is required as shown in
Figure 7. (Refer to Data Sheet 70.50.A for details.)

If sensitivity readings are out of limits specified on detector
label, contact the Fenwal customer service department for
details concerning the detector EXCHANGE PROGRAM. The
detector EXCHANGE PROGRAM offers the customer new
product of the latest design as direct replacement for exist-
ing detectors. The EXCHANGE PROGRAM is available to all
end-users for a nominal fee, regardless of the age of
the detector.
The recommended requirement for detector maintenance con-
sists of an annual cleaning of dust from the detector head by
using the suction of a vacuum cleaner. Cleaning programs
should be geared to the individual environment in conform-
ance with NFPA 72.
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt disassembly of the factory sealed smoke
detector. This assembly is sealed for your protection and
is not intended to be opened for servicing. Opening of the
detector will void the warranty.
Refer to Installation Sheet 7X.5X.A for details.
ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
The contractor shall furnish and install photoelectric smoke
detectors, Fenwal Series PSD-7155 or PSD-7156 where in-
dicated on the plans. The combination detector head and
twist-lock base shall be UL Listed compatible with a UL Listed
fire alarm control unit. PSD-715X series photoelectric detec-
tors and CPD-705X series ionization detectors shall share
an interchangeable base.
The Fenwal smoke detector shall have a flashing status indi-
cating LED for visual supervision. When the detector is actu-
ated, the flashing LED will latch on steady at full brilliance.
The detector may be reset by actuating the control panel
reset switch. The vandal-resistant security locking feature
shall be used in those areas as indicated on the drawings.
The locking feature shall be field removable when not required.
It shall be possible to measure the sensitivity level of the
detector without removal from the base. Metering test points
shall be accessible on the exterior of the detector head.
Measurement shall be accomplished with a commercially
available voltmeter and a Fenwal Sensitivity Tester (ST-001)
allowing direct measurement in percent per foot obscuration.
It shall also be possible to perform a functional test of the
detector without the need for generating smoke. The test
method must simulate effects of products of combustion in
the optical chamber to ensure testing of all detector circuits.
This test can be performed locally and/or remotely.
By using a furnished wire jumper, it shall be possible to check
circuit loop continuity prior to installing the detector head.
The detector shall be listed and approved for wall and ceiling
mounting.
Models PSD-7155 and 7156 shall operate over an input volt-
age range from 10.2 to 36.8 Vdc. Voltage and RF transient
suppression techniques to withstand up to 20 volt/meter shall
be employed to minimize susceptibility to false alarms.
The smoke detector may contain an optional 135F thermistor
temperature, self-restoring heat detector. Actuation of this
device shall activate an alarm and function independent of
the smoke detector electronic circuit.
Supplementary SPDT relays, remote test, and/or remote LED
alarm indicators shall be installed where indicated.
