ACD-V
Multi-Criteria

Unprecedented Intelligence

Because the ACD-V is actually a smoke detector, it is continually measuring the amount of smoke present in its installed environment. Some locations may be subject to low-level transient smoke, such as from a cigarette, smoke from a passing car, or some other source which can trigger an unwanted alarm in smoke detectors.

  • Smoke – LED light scattering technology to measure smoke density
  • Heat – dual thermistor circuit, supports fixed-temperature and rate of rise
  • CO – sensing cell supplements smoke detection and deadly carbon monoxide levels

    Some of the 16 UL-listed modes include:

    Mode: Smoke

    This mode provides standard smoke detection. Suitable applications include rooms where the environment is reasonably controlled and predictable.

    Mode: Smoke + RFA

    Standard smoke detection for areas where the possibility of unwanted alarms is a concern. The RFA Reduce False Alarm function works to eliminate unwanted alarms from transient smoke or other false alarm sources.

    Mode: Smoke + Fixed-Temperature Heat + Rate-of-Rise Heat + CO + COHB

    This mode provides individual operation of the smoke, heat, and CO elements. In this mode, the ACD-V is capable of indicating a unique alarm for each event type – smoke, heat, and CO. Use this mode for applications such as apartments or living areas where cooking may be done on occasion or for other applications where smoke may normally be present.

    Mode: Smoke / Fixed-Temperature Heat + RFA

    This mode provides smoke/heat multi-sensor detection with a “heat-enhanced smoke detector” operation. In this mode, the ACD-V measures the ambient temperature as it evaluates its environment for smoke. An increase in temperature - possibly indicating a fire - results in a corresponding automatic adjustment to the sensitivity of the smoke detector. Note that in this mode the heat detector is only used to adjust the smoke detector’s operation. This mode is useful for applications such as equipment rooms, offices, storerooms, etc.

    Mode: Fixed-Temperature Heat

    This mode provides standard heat detector performance, with an adjustable alarm threshold from 135°F to 150°F. Useful for locations where dust or smoke is expected, such as workshops, laundry rooms, areas with candles or fireplaces, and so on.

    Mode: Rate-of-Rise Heat

    This mode provides standard heat detector performance, with an adjustable alarm threshold from 135°F to 150°F. Useful for locations where dust or smoke is expected, such as workshops, laundry rooms, areas with candles or fireplaces, and so on.
