Duct Detector Remote Test Switch Locations

The wiring diagram graphics here are for illustration purposes only.

Duct detector remote test switch locations. The duct detector should when possible be located a minimum of six duct widths downstream from a source of turbulence bends inlets or deflection plates. The rts2 and. 17 4 7 where smoke detectors are installed in concealed locations more than 10 ft 3 0 m above the finished floor or in arrangements where the detector s alarm or supervisory indicator is not visible to responding personnel the detectors shall be provided with remote alarm or supervisory indication in a location acceptable to the authority.

The rts151 and rts151key remote test stations are automatic fire detector accessories designed to test duct smoke detectors from a convenient location. Always follow duct detector manufactures instructions and code for wiring. Since the requirement for tying in duct detectors is in 907 fire alarm and detection systems the duct detector rule 907 11 doesn t apply to what you re doing. At these locations air flow is less turbulent and the air smoke mixture should be more homogenous refer to nfpa 90a 72 and 101 for more information.
