Potter Electric Signal pad100-drts Duct Remote Test Switch

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL pad100-drts is a supervised remote test switch designed for use with the PAD100-DUCTR duct detector. It operates without requiring an SLC loop address, simplifying installation in addressable fire alarm systems. The module includes Active and Pilot LEDs that provide continuous status indication of the connected PAD100-DUCTR detector. A keyed switch enables controlled remote testing of the duct detector from a convenient location, supporting routine verification without direct access to the detector housing. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors typically handle installation and commissioning of this type of device.

The pad100-drts is suited for commercial and light industrial HVAC duct smoke detection applications where remote test capability is required. It pairs specifically with the PAD100-DUCTR duct detector, allowing service personnel to initiate detector tests from a remote location rather than at the duct unit itself. This is particularly useful in installations where the duct detector is mounted in a hard-to-reach plenum or air handler enclosure. The device integrates into supervised fire alarm circuits, maintaining circuit integrity monitoring at all times.
