NP-100(A) Series
Addressable Photoelectric Detectors
for the FireWarden Series
Addressable
DN-6995:C • A1-320
General
The NP-100(A), NP-100T(A) and NP-100R(A) addressable,
low-profile plug-in photoelectric detectors use a state-of-the-
art photoelectric sensing chamber with communications to
provide open area protection and are used exclusively with
NOTIFIER’s FireWarden Series (FireWarden-100-2 and Fire-
Warden-50) and Spartan (NSP-25) Addressable Fire Alarm
Control Panels (FACPs). The NP-100T(A) adds thermal sen-
sors that will alarm at a fixed temperature of 135°F (57°C).
Since these detectors are addressable, they will help emer-
gency personnel quickly locate a fire during its early stages,
potentially saving precious rescue time while also reducing
property damage. Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a
local, visible sensor indication. Remote LED annunciator capa-
bility is available as an optional accessory, PN RA100Z(A).
The NP-100R(A) is a remote test capable detector for use with
DNR(A)/DNRW duct smoke detector housings.
Features
SLC loop
• Two-wire loop connection.
• Unit uses base for wiring.
Addressing
• Addressable by device.
• Rotary, decimal addressing: 01 – 99 with FireWarden-100-2
and NSP-25, and 01 – 50 with FireWarden-50.
Architecture
• Unique single-source, dual-chamber design to respond
quickly and dependably to a broad range of fires.
• Sleek, low-profile design.
• Integral communications and built-in type identification.
• Built-in tamper-resistant feature.
• Removable cover and insect-resistant screen for simple
field cleaning.
Operation
• Withstands air velocities up to 4,000 feet-per-minute (20 m/
sec.) without triggering a false alarm.
• Factory preset at 1.5% nominal sensitivity for panel alarm
threshold level.
• Visible LED “blinks” when the unit is addressed (communi-
cating with the fire panel) and latches on in alarm.
Mechanicals
• Sealed against back pressure.
• Direct surface mounting or electrical box mounting.
• Mounts to: single-gang box, 3.5" (8.89 cm) or 4.0" (10.16
cm) octagonal box, or 4.0" (10.16 cm) square electrical box
(using a plaster ring — included).
Other system features
• Fully coated circuit boards and superior RF/transient pro-
tection.
• 94-V0 plastic flammability rating.
• Low standby current.
Options
• Remote LED output connection, PN RA100Z(A).
Applications
Use photoelectric detectors in life-safety applications to pro-
vide a broad range of fire-sensing capability, especially where
smoldering fires are anticipated. Ionization detectors are often
better than photoelectric detectors at sensing fast, flaming
fires.
Construction
These detectors are constructed of off-white fire resistant plas-
tic. NP-100(A) series plug-in, low-profile smoke detectors are
designed to commercial standards and offer an attractive
appearance.
Installation
NP-100(A) series plug-in detectors use a detachable mounting
base to simplify installation, service and maintenance.
Mount base (all base types) on an electrical backbox which is
at least 1.5" (3.81 cm) deep. For a chart of compatible junction
boxes, see DN-60054.
NOTE: 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. NP-100R(A)
mounts in a DNR(A)/DNRW duct detector housing.
Operation
Each NP-100(A) series detector uses one of 99 possible
addresses on the FireWarden-100-2 and NSP-25, or one of 50
possible addresses on the FireWarden-50 Signaling Line Cir-
cuit (SLC). It responds to regular polls from the system and
reports its type and status.
The addressable photoelectric sensor in the NP-100(A) series
has a unique unipolar chamberthat responds quickly and uni-
formly to a broad range of smoke conditions. It can withstand
wind gusts up to 4,000 feet-per-minute (20 m/sec.) without
sending an alarm level signal. Because of its unipolar cham-
ber, the NP-100(A) series is approximately two times more
responsive than most photoelectric sensors. This makes it a
more stable detector.
