Page 1 of 4 GE Security Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector GSA-PS Overview The Signature Series Model GSA-PS Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector gathers analog information from its smoke sensing ele-ment and converts it into digital signals. The detector’s on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes these signals. It compares the information to historical readings and time patterns to make an alarm decision. Digital fi lters remove signal patterns that are not typical of fi res. Unwanted alarms are virtually eliminated. The microprocessor in each detector provides four additional benefi ts -Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication. Self-diagnostics and History Log -Each Signature Series detec-tor constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated and permanently stored in the detector’s non-volatile memory Automatic Device Mapping -The loop controller learns where each device’s serial number address is installed relative to other devices on the circuit. The mapping feature provides supervision of each device’s installed location to prevent a detector from being rein-stalled (after cleaning etc.) in a different location from where it was originally. Stand-alone Operation -A decentralized alarm decision by the detector is guaranteed. On-board intelligence permits the detector to operate in stand-alone mode. If loop controller CPU communica-tions fail for more than four seconds, all devices on that circuit go into stand-alone mode. The circuit acts like a conventional alarm receiving circuit. Fast Stable Communication -On-board intelligence means less information needs to be sent between the detector and the loop controller. Other than regular supervisory polling response, the detector only needs to communicate with the loop controller when it has something new to report.

Page of 4InstallationSignature Series detectors mount to North American 1-gang boxes, 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, and to 4 inch square electrical boxes 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) deep. They mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers.Testing & MaintenanceEach detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective and causes a “dirty detector” message. The detector’s sensitivity measurement can also be transmitted to the loop controller. A sensitivity report can be printed to satisfy NFPA sensitivity measurements which must be conducted at the end of the first year and every two years thereafter.The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each detector and other pertinent messages. Single detectors may be turned off temporarily from the control panel. Availability of maintenance features is dependent on the fire alarm system used. Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper detector operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards.CompatibilityThe GSA-PS detectors are compatible only with the Signature Loop Controller.Warnings & CautionsThis detector will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently cause power interruption, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your fire protection specialist.This detector will NOT sense fires that start in areas where smoke cannot reach the detector. Smoke from fires in walls, roofs, or on the opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector to alarm it.GSA-IBIsolator BaseGSA-LEDRemote LEDGSA-RBRelay BaseGSA-SBStandard BaseGSA-AB4GAudible BaseAccessoriesAll detector mounting bases have wiring terminals that are accessible from the “room-side” after mounting the base to the electrical box. The bases mount to North American 1-gang boxes and to 3½ inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, 1½ inches (38 mm) deep. They also mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers. The GSA-SB4, GSA-RB4, and GSA-IB4 mount to North American 4 inch sq. electrical boxes in addition to the above boxes. They include the SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt which is used to cover the “mounting ears” on the base. The GSA-AB4G mounts to a 4” sqare box only.Standard Base GSA-SB, GSA-SB4 -This is the basic mounting base for GE Security Signature Series detectors. The GSA-LED Remote LED is supported by the Standard Base.Relay Base GSA-RB, GSA-RB4 -This base includes a relay. Normally open or closed operation is selected during installation. The dry contact is rated for 1 amp (pilot duty) @30 Vdc. The relay’s position is supervised to avoid accidentally jarring it out of position. The GSA-RB can be operated as a control relay if programmed to do so at the control panel ( V.2 only). The relay base does not support the GSA-LED Remote LED.Audible Base GSA-AB4G -This base is designed for use where localized or group alarm signaling is required. When the detector senses an alarm condition, the audible base emits a local alarm signal. The optional GSA-CRR Polarity Reversal Relay can be used for sounding to other audible bases on the same 24 Vdc circuit.Relay and Audible Bases operate as follows:-at system power-up or reset, the relay is de-energized-when a detector is installed in the base with the power on, the relay energizes for four seconds, then de-energizes-when a detector is removed from a base with the power on, the relay is de-energized-when the detector enters the alarm state, the relay is energized.Isolator Base GSA-IB, GSA-IB4 -This base includes a built-in line fault isolator for use on Class A circuits. A detector must be installed for it to operate. The isolator base does not support the GSA-LED Remote LED.The isolator operates as follows:-a short on the line causes all isolators to open within 23 msec-at 10 msec intervals, beginning on one side of the Class A circuit nearest the loop controller, the isolators close to provide the next isolator down the line with power-when the isolator next to the short closes, reopens within 10 msec.The process repeats beginning on the other side of the loop controller.Remote LED GSA-LED -The remote LED connects to the GSA-SB or GSA-SB4 Standard Base only. It features a North American size 1-gang plastic faceplate with a white finish and red alarm LED.SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt -Supplied with 4 inch bases, it can also be ordered separately to use with the other bases to help hide surface imperfections not covered by the smaller bases.

Page 3 of 4Standard Detector Base, GSA-SB, GSA-SB4Typical WiringThe detector mounting bases accept #18 AWG (0.75mm2), #16 (1.0mm2), #14 AWG (1.5mm2), and #12 AWG (2.5mm²) wire sizes. Note: Sizes #16 AWG (1.0mm2) and #18 AWG (0.75mm2) are preferred for ease of installation. See Signature Loop Controller catalog sheet for detailed wiring requirement specifications.Relay Detector Base, GSA-RB, GSA-RB4Isolator Detector Base, GSA-IB, GSA-IB4ApplicationAlthough photoelectric detectors have a wide range of fire sensing capabilities they are best suited for detecting slow, smoldering fires. The table below shows six standard test fires used to rate the sensitivity of smoke and heat detectors. The table indicates that no single sensing element is suited for all test fires.GE Security recommends that this detector be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀅􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀆􀀇􀀈􀀉􀀈􀀆􀀊􀀋􀀉􀀇􀀈􀀉􀀈􀀆􀀃􀀃􀀌􀀇􀀈􀀉􀀈􀀅􀀃􀀌􀀍􀀊􀀋􀀉􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀅􀀆􀀇􀀈􀀤􀀕􀀎􀀛􀀘􀀎􀀢􀀖􀀕􀀡􀀔􀀘􀀘􀀚􀀥􀀎􀀕􀀘􀀕􀀖􀀙􀀒􀀎􀀔􀀡􀀞􀀟􀀡􀀖􀀉􀀊􀀋􀀊􀀇 􀀈􀀤􀀕􀀎􀀛􀀂􀀒􀀓􀀐􀀟􀀗􀀔􀀕􀀖􀀏􀀎􀀐􀀗􀀕􀀎􀀚􀀚􀀖􀀕􀀎􀀕􀀘􀀕􀀖􀀙􀀒􀀎􀀔􀀡􀀠􀀖􀀙􀀒􀀏􀀖􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀅􀀆􀀌􀀍􀀋􀀉􀀎􀀐􀀖􀀦􀀗􀀞􀀟􀀡􀀖􀀎􀀕􀀧􀀊􀀨􀀕􀀖􀀚􀀟􀀥􀀉􀀊􀀋􀀊􀀌􀀍􀀋􀀉􀀎􀀐􀀖􀀦􀀗􀀂􀀒􀀓􀀐􀀟􀀗􀀔􀀕􀀖􀀠􀀖􀀙􀀒􀀏􀀖􀀅􀀆􀀅� �􀀩􀀎􀀚􀀔􀀛􀀖􀀡􀀖􀀗􀀗􀀒􀀐􀀓􀀇􀀖􀀑􀀟􀀔􀀚􀀗􀀪􀀫􀀒􀀓􀀝􀀙􀀎􀀚􀀔􀀛􀀖􀀬􀀔􀀗􀀑􀀎􀀕􀀚􀀎􀀢􀀙􀀎􀀚􀀔􀀛􀀖􀀉􀀎􀀐􀀖􀀡􀀖􀀗􀀗􀀒􀀐􀀓􀀇􀀖􀀑􀀟􀀔􀀚􀀗􀀪􀀉􀀖􀀛􀀘􀀎􀀕􀀟􀀚􀀘􀀟􀀗􀀗􀀖􀀕􀀐􀀬􀀔􀀗􀀑􀀎􀀕􀀡􀀗􀀖􀀟􀀠􀀥􀀗􀀎􀀐􀀖􀀅􀀆􀀅 􀀆􀀉􀀎􀀏􀀎􀀐􀀑􀀒􀀓􀀔􀀕􀀖􀀎􀀔􀀗􀀘􀀔􀀗􀀙􀀎􀀚􀀔􀀛􀀖􀀎􀀕􀀗􀀎􀀐􀀖􀀜􀀏􀀔􀀗􀀗􀀝􀀖􀀏􀀒􀀕􀀏􀀔􀀒􀀗􀀞􀀎􀀟􀀕􀀠􀀟􀀡􀀡􀀝􀀎􀀢􀀐􀀣Audible Detector Base, GSA-AB4G Term Description 1 Not Used 2 DATA IN/OUT (+) 3 Not Used 4 DATA IN (-) 5 Remote LED (-) 6 Remote LED (+) 7 Not Used 8 DATA OUT (-) CONTACT RATING1.0 Amp @30 VDC(Pilot Duty) Term Description 1 Normally Open 2 DATA IN/OUT (+) 3 Common 4 DATA IN (-) 5 Not Used 6 Normally-Closed 7 DATA OUT (-) Term Description 1 Not Used 2 DATA IN/OUT (+) 3 DATA IN (-) 4 Not Used 5 Not Used 6 DATA OUT (-) 7 Not UsedTest FireGSA-IS IonGSA-PS PhotoGSA-HRS and GSA-HFS Rate-of-Rise/Fixed Temp.GSA-PHS Photo Heat 3DGSA-IPHS Ion/Photo/Heat 4DOpen Wood optimumunsuitable optimumvery suitableoptimumWood Pyrolysis suitable optimumunsuitable optimumoptimumSmouldering Cottonvery suitableoptimumunsuitable optimumoptimumPoly Urethane Foamvery suitablevery suitablesuitable very suitableoptimumn-Heptane optimumvery suitablevery suitableoptimumoptimumLiquid Fire without Smoke unsuitable unsuitable optimumvery suitablevery suitable Data Sheet M85001-0269 Issue 6Not to be used for installation purposes.
