Page 1 of 2 GE Security FireworX Fire & Life Safety Conventional Initiating Devices Overview The GE FX7 Series conventional self-diagnostic, smoke detectors, with CleanMe® continually monitor their own sensitivity and opera- tional status, and provide a trouble condition at the FireworX con- ventional control panel and FX detector if they drift out of sensitivity range or fail internal diagnostics. This meets NPFA 72 field sensitiv- ity requirements without the need for external meters. Additional diagnostic information is activated by applying a magnet near the detector’s integral reed switch. This initiates a self-diag- nostic routine and provides visual indication of sensitivity level, or if service is required. If the 400 Series ever does require cleaning simply replace GE’s patented field-replaceable optical chamber. All models are designed to reduce false alarms from dust, insects, RFI and external light. An integral combination rate-of-rise and fixed 135°F (57°C),50-foot rated, heat sensor is available with all “T” model detectors (see selection guide). An integrated silicon heat sensor and a dedicated microprocessor are used to detect heat and perform the rate of rise calculations, for earlier heat detection. The 400 Series models allow latching of the alarm for either smoke or heat. The 449CSRH includes an isolated alarm output for heat and activates an internal non-latching sounder (local alarm) for smoke, making it ideal for motel/hotel and dormitory rooms where smoking is permitted.

A pulsed infrared lightemitting diode serves as the light source, and a high-speed photo-diode as the sensing element. When the amount of light reflected onto the photodi- ode reaches the sensitivity setting, the smoke sampling rate increases. Three (3) successive smoke sensings above the sensitivity setting are required to sound an alarm. This design has superior protection against false alarms caused by dust, insects, RF and ambient-light. A confirmed alarm causes the normally flashing power indicator LED to light continuously and the optional alarm relay (available in “R” models) to operate. A trouble indication is automatically displayed by flashing the LED every second. An internal 85 dB horn (available in “S” models) emits a temporal tone when the detector alarms or when power polarity is reversed. The proprietary optical sensing chamber is field replaceable, allowing quick and easy cleaning and maintenance. Models with auxiliary relays are approved for releasing service. The low profile 400 Series detectors are equipped with a hinged cover, a concealed tamper-resistant latch, and insect screens. All wiring terminates in plug-in, clamp-type screw terminals. The detectors mount to a standard single-gang electrical box, a four inch octagonal, four-inch square electrical box, or WIREMOLD No. 5739 fixture box.
