GENERAL DESCRITPTION
GFE-AD series consists of: Photo electric smoke detectors, Rate of
Rise and Fixed temperature detectors and combined smoke / heat
detectors with advanced analogue addressable communications. DIP
switches are provided for setting the detector’s address.
GFE-AD-S: Analogue addressable smoke detector
GFE-AD-S-L: Analogue addressable smoke detector with remote LED
output
GFE-AD-SH: Analogue addressable smoke and rate-of-rise and fixed
temperature heat detector
GFE-AD-SH-L: Analogue addressable smoke and rate-of-rise and
fixed temperature heat detector with remote LED output
GFE-AD-H: Analogue addressable rate-of-rise and fixed temperature
heat detector
GFE-AD-H-L: Analogue addressable rate-of-rise and fixed
temperature heat detector with remote LED output
Note: The base model no. for GFE-AD-S, GFE-AD-SH and GFE-AD-H
is P/N772912. The base model no. for GFE-AD-S-L, GFE-AD-SH-L and
GFE-AD-H-L is P/N774912.
INSTALLING THE BASE
1. To insure proper fit of the detector head to the base, all wires
should be properly dressed at installation:
(A) Position all the wires flat against terminals.
(B) Fasten the wires away from connector terminals.
2. The detectors are intended for ceiling or wall mounting in
accordance with
local Fire authority recommendations.
3. The base of the smoke detector can be mounted directly onto
most standard electrical junction boxes without using any type of
mechanical adaptor. For surface wired installations the base
adaptor P/N 882912 for two wire, P/N
.
884912 for four wire has cable entry points to accept standard
electrical conduit.
INSTALLING THE HEAD
1. Set the desired address via DIP switch on the back of the detector,
see ADDRESS SETTING section.
2. Align the components as shown in Figure 2.
3. Fit the detector head onto the base and twist clockwise to secure
it.
4. After all detectors have been installed, apply power to the control
unit and activate the detection Loop.
5. Test the detector(s) as described in the TESTING section of this
manual.
Note: Do not install the detector head until the area is
thoroughly cleaned of construction debris, dusts, etc. Please
refer to control panel technical information regarding the
maximum number of detectors installed on the same loop.

TESTING
All remote signaling systems, releasing devices and extinguishing
systems should be disconnected during the test period and
reconnected at the conclusion of testing.
SMOKE SENSOR TESTING
Allow smoke from a cotton wick or a test smoke aerosol to enter the
detector-sensing chamber for at least 10 seconds. When sufficient
smoke has entered the chamber, the detector will signal an alarm, this
being indicated by illumination of the red LED. Make sure to clear smoke
out of the chamber before resetting in order to keep the detector
at its current sensitivity setting.
HEAT SENSOR TESTING
The detector to be tested should be subject to a flow of warm air at
a temperature of between 65°C and 80°C. (This requirement can
be met by some domestic hair dryers).
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch on the warm airflow and check that temperature is
 correct and stable.
2. From a distance of several inches, direct the airflow at the
guard protecting the thermistor. The detector should alarm
within 60 seconds.
3. Upon alarm immediately remove the heat source and
check that the red LED of the detector is illuminated.
4. If a detector fails to activate within 60 seconds, confirm
connections and programming. If necessary replace and
return to distributor for recalibration.
NOTE: After testing, check that the system is returned to
normal operation. Notify the appropriate authorities that
the testing procedure has been completed and the
system is active again.
