 The
MSR Series remote accessories are designed to be used with
Air Products and Controls Duct Smoke Detectors to provide
the most complete functionality ever available in such
a device.
The remote accessory is available with either the single gang remote indicator/control (MSR-100R Products), or with the addition of a single gang strobe assembly (MSR-100RS Products). Both versions are compatible with standard Decora style cover plates (choice of white, red or stainless steel).

Protect Special Application Spaces with the HS-100 Duct Smoke
Detector! |
HS-100 Series duct smoke detectors provide early detection of
smoke and products of combustion present in air moving at
very low to moderate speeds through an HVAC plenums and duct
systems in commercial, and industrial applications. These
devices are designed to prevent the recirculation of smoke
in areas by the air handling system’s fans and blowers.
Complete systems may be shut down in the event of smoke
detection.
The HS-100 Series smoke detector is fitted with a mounting
base that will accept an ionization smoke detector head
model 55000-225APO or photoelectric smoke detector head
model 55000-328APO. The duct unit supports one set of form
“C” alarm contacts, one form “A” alarm contact and one form
“B” trouble contact. The trouble contact supervises the
presence of the input power and the removal of the smoke
detector head.

Size Does Matter! |
Are your duct smoke detector sampling tubes the
correct length for your commercial ducts? IMC (Chapter
606.3) and NFPA 72 (Chapter 5.16.5.2) codes require that
all smoke detector installations, tests and inspections
are made in accordance with the manufacturer’s published
instructions. In most cases, manufacturer specs call
for the air sampling tube to extend between 2/3 and 80%
of the duct width. If the sample tube does not span the
width of the duct, smoke can bypass the sample tube and
avoid immediate detection, allowing the fire to progress
and placing all those who rely on the smoke detection
system in danger. In addition to this potential
liability, improperly sized sampling tubes can result in
failed inspections, increased job costs and jeopardized
inspector relationships.
Some manufacturers supply sample tubes with duct smoke
detector purchases. However, the standard sample tube
supplied is approximately 12” in length, meaning it is
only code-compliant in ducts up to 18” wide.
Particularly in commercial applications, where duct
widths are more commonly 36 inches wide, the supplied
sample tube would not meet code. Download a copy of our
tri-fold brochure for further information and an
illustrated explanation of why the size of the sample
tubes DOES matter!
