SS-F
Filtrex™ Hostile-Area Smoke Head —
Analog Addressable Detector with SmartScan™
SS-F Operation Overview
Description
Gamewell’s SS-F SmartScan™
smoke detector provides early
warning smoke detection in
hostile environments where tra-
ditional smoke detectors are not
practical. Using a small air in-
take fan and a high-perfor-
mance replaceable filter, air and
smoke are drawn into a photo-
electric sensing chamber, while
unwanted airborne particulate
and water mist are removed.
This feature allows the SS-F to
operate in difficult applications,
such as textile or paper mills,
which due to environmental
conditions tend to cause nui-
sance alarms with standard
smoke detectors.
Normal Operation — A miniature fan is pulsed on and off under microprocessor con-
trol to conserve power, yet provide good smoke response. The system uses two filters
(one replaceable) that remove particulates while allowing smoke to pass.
Filter Supervision — Periodically, the filter system is tested for blockage using a
special thermal airflow sensor. In reasonably clean environments, the filter is ex-
pected to last at least as long as the smoke-entry test period required by NFPA 72. In
very dirty environments, the filter may need replacement more frequently.
Filter Trouble Reporting — If SS-F determines that filter blockage is imminent, a
warning trouble is indicated to the panel, followed by a return to normal. 72 hours after
this warning, the detector will disconnect, giving a continuous trouble signal.
