Features

• Automatically adjusts sensitivity levels

without the need for operator inter-

vention or programming. Sensitivity

increases with heat.

• Microprocessor-based, combination

photo and thermal technology.

• Addressable-analog communication.

• Sleek, low-profile design.

• Two-wire SLC connection.

• Sleek, low-profile design.

• Rotary, decimal addressing (1 – 99).

• Addresses can be viewed and

changed without the need for elec-

tronic programmers.

• Dual bi-color LED design provides

360° viewing angle.

• Built-in tamper-resistant feature.

• Sealed against back pressure.

• Constructed of off-white Bayblend®,

designed to commercial standards,

and offers an attractive appearance.

• 94-5V plastic flammability rating.

• SEMS screws for wiring of the

separate base.

• Several base options, including relay,

isolator, and sounder.

• Remote test feature from the panel.

• Built-in functional test switch acti-

vated by external magnet.

• Capable of heat-only alarm mode,

enabled by a special command from

the panel. Smoke alarms are ignored.

• Low-temperature signal at 45°F +/–

10°F (7.22°C +/– 5.54°C).

Description

Gamewell’s SS-APT Accli-

mate™ detector is an intelligent,

addressable, multi-sensing, low-

profile detector designed for use

SLC panel.

The Acclimate™ detector uses a

combination of photoelectric and

thermal sensing technologies

that are designed to increase im-

munity to false alarms. Unlike

traditional intelligent detectors,

the Acclimate™ detector has a microprocessor in the detector head that processes

alarm data. As a result, the Acclimate™ detector adjusts its sensitivity automatically,

without operator intervention or control panel programming.

Areas where the Acclimate™ detector is especially useful include office complexes,

schools, college campuses, manufacturing and industrial facilities, and anywhere

else the use of a particular area may change. The Acclimate™ detector automatically

adjusts its sensitivity to acclimate itself to the environment.

Installation

The SS-APT plug-in detector uses a separate base to simplify installation, service,

and maintenance. A special tool allows maintenance personnel to plug-in and re-

move detectors without using a ladder. Mount base on an electrical backbox at least

1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. Suitable mounting back boxes include:

• 4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.

• 3.5" (8.89 cm) or 4.0" (10.16 cm) octagonal box.

• Single-gang box (except for relay or isolator base).

• With B501BH or B501BHT base, use a 4.0" (10.16 cm) square box.

• With B224RB or B224BI base, use a 3.5" (8.89 cm) octagonal box, or a 4.0"

(10.16 cm) octagonal or square box.

NOTES: 1) Because of the inherent supervision provided by the SLC loop, end-

of-line resistors are not required. Wiring “T-taps” or branches are permitted for

Style 4 (Class “B”) wiring. 2) When using relay or sounder bases, consult SS-LI

data sheet for device limitations between isolator modules and isolator bases.

APPLICATION NOTE: The SS-APT detector has the unique ability to adjust sensitiv-

ity according to the environment, based on heat and smoke levels. Avoid installing

these detectors in locations that are susceptible to rapid and high temperature

changes. An example of an incorrect application would be near or in line with the

output of a self-contained heater.

DETECTOR SPACING: Gamewell recommends spacing detectors in compliance with

NFPA 72. In low airflow applications with smooth ceilings, space detectors 30 feet

(9.144 m). For specific information regarding detector spacing, placement, and spe-

cial applications, refer to NFPA 72. System Smoke Detector Application Guide, docu-

ment A05-1003, is available at systemsensor.com.
