It operates on the Potter Addressable Device (PAD) protocol and communicates with compatible fire alarm control panels over a digital communication path. The photoelectric sensing element complies with UL 268 7th edition enhanced smoke sensitivity requirements, covering a sensitivity range of 1.1 to 3.5 percent per foot. The CO sensing element uses an electrochemical sensor for accurate gas detection in life safety applications. Drift compensation and a built-in dirty detector warning help maintain reliable performance over time. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis detector is suited for commercial and light-industrial fire alarm installations where addressable, multi-criteria detection is required. It is intended for use with PAD protocol-based fire alarm control panels in applications demanding both smoke and CO monitoring from a single addressable device. The polling cycle completes in under five seconds, meeting UL system response requirements. Field addressing is handled via DIP switches located on the rear of the detector, allowing configuration without special programming tools or software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-function detection: photoelectric smoke sensing combined with electrochemical CO detection in one addressable device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL 268 7th edition compliant photoelectric element with a sensitivity range of 1.1 to 3.5 percent per foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrochemical CO sensor provides accurate gas detection for life safety applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrift compensation with built-in dirty detector warning for reduced nuisance alerts and easier maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem polling speed under five seconds, within UL requirements for addressable systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIP switch addressing on the rear panel allows field programming without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with fire alarm control panels that use the Potter Addressable Device (PAD) protocol.

Power down and isolate the affected signaling line circuit (SLC) loop before removing or installing the detector. Set the DIP switch address before mounting the head to the base to avoid loop errors. Verify detector address and sensitivity settings at the control panel after installation and before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Photoelectric Smoke and Electrochemical Carbon Monoxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtocol\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potter Addressable Device (PAD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoke Sensitivity Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.1 to 3.5 percent per foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCO Sensor Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrochemical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoke Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 268 7th Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolling Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Less than 5 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAddressing Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIP switches, rear of detector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: PAD300 series detector bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: pad300-pcd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268084859186,"sku":"PAD300-PCD","price":186.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308909681.png?v=1780698694","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/potter-electric-signal-pad300-pcd-smoke-co-detector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
