System Sensor SS-PHOTO-R Addressable Photoelectric Smoke Detector

Product Description

The SYSTEM SENSOR SS-PHOTO-R is an addressable photoelectric smoke detector designed for use without an integral base. It operates on photoelectric sensing technology, detecting smoke particles by measuring light-scattering changes within the sensing chamber. This detector is part of an addressable fire alarm system, where each device communicates its status individually to the fire alarm control panel. Installation is typically performed by licensed fire alarm technicians or low-voltage electricians working within addressable detection loops. The unit ships as a single detector head without a mounting base, which must be ordered and installed separately.

The SS-PHOTO-R is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm installations where addressable system architecture is required. It fits applications including office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, and multi-family residential structures. Because it communicates on an addressable loop, it allows the control panel to identify the exact detector location during an alarm or trouble condition, which simplifies troubleshooting and system maintenance. The detector head is installed onto a compatible separately sourced base that connects to the addressable signaling line circuit.

Key Features

• Photoelectric sensing technology for effective detection of slow-smoldering fires
• Addressable design allows individual point identification at the fire alarm control panel
• Sold without base, allowing flexibility in base selection for the specific installation
• Single-unit packaging suitable for replacement or new construction applications
• Designed for use within addressable smoke detection systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for addressable photoelectric smoke detection systems requiring a separately mounted base.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the addressable signaling line circuit before removing or installing any detector head. A compatible addressable base must be installed separately prior to mounting the detector head. Verify system compatibility with the fire alarm control panel manufacturer before placing the device into service.
