SS-F
Features
Filtrex™ Hostile-Area Smoke Head —
Analog Addressable Detector with SmartScan™
• High-performance filter removes
particulates down to 32 microns
(32-micron inner filter and replaceable outer filter).
• Air delivery system is separately
powered and fully supervised.
Description
6346cov.jpg
• Analog intelligent communications.
Gamewell’s SS-F SmartScan™
smoke detector provides early
warning smoke detection in
hostile environments where traditional smoke detectors are not
practical. Using a small air intake fan and a high-performance replaceable filter, air and
smoke are drawn into a photoelectric 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 nuisance alarms with standard
smoke detectors.
SS-F Operation Overview
Normal Operation — A miniature fan is pulsed on and off under microprocessor control 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 expected 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.
Operation overview diagram:
• Outer filter is easily field replaceable.
• Tolerant of external air velocity.
• Resistant to water vapor in
applications where occasional
non-direct water spray is performed.
• Optional remote LED annunciator.
• Rotary DECADE address switches
with settings 01-99.
• Dual bi-color (red/green) LEDs
flash green when Normal and are
steady red in Alarm (systems with
SmartScan™ only).
• Compatible with the Gamewell
602, 610, 632, 654 and 658
FACPs.
• Requires auxiliary 24 VDC from
system or remote power supply.

Detector spacing
Gamewell recommends spacing
detectors in compliance with NFPA 72.
In low-air-flow applications with
smooth ceilings, space detectors 30
feet (9.114 m) apart. For specific
information regarding sensor spacing,
placement, and special applications,
refer to NFPA 72 or the Guide to
Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, available from
