SOC-24V CONVENTIONAL PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR

APPLICATIONS
The SOC-24V is a reliable, high quality Photoelectric Smoke
Detector. It can be used in all open areas where Photoelectric
Smoke Detectors are required, including in-duct applications.
The computer-designed smoke chamber makes the SOC-24V
well suited for detecting smoldering fires as well as fast-
flaming fires.
NS-4 Series, NS-6 Series, HSC-4R or HSC-R Style bases
may be used with the SOC-24V.

SOC-24V CONVENTIONAL PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR
ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
The contractor shall furnish and install where indicated on the plans, Hochiki America Model SOC-24V photoelectric smoke detec-
tors. The combination detector head and twist-lock base shall be UL listed compatible with a UL listed fire alarm panel. The base
shall permit direct interchange with Hochiki America SOC-24V photoelectric smoke detector. The base shall be appropriate twist-
lock base NS-4 Series, NS-6 Series, HSC-4R, or HSC-R. In the event of partial or complete retrofit, the SOC-24V maybe used in
conjunction with, or as a replacement for, Hochiki America detectors (SLR-24V, SLR-24VN, SLK-24 and the SLR-24H) on most
HSB and HSC base applications.
The smoke detector shall have one flashing status LED for visual supervision. When the detector is in standby condition the LED
will flash Green. When the detector is outside the UL listed sensitivity window the LED will flash Red. When the detector is
actuated, the flashing LED will latch on Red. The detector may be reset by actuating the control panel reset switch. The sensitivity
of the detector shall be capable of being measured. The sensitivity of the detector shall be monitored automatically and continu-
ously to verify that it is operating within the listed sensitivity range.
To facilitate installation, the detector shall be non-polarized. Voltage and RF transient suppression techniques shall be employed
to minimize false alarm potential. Auxiliary SPDT relays shall be installed where indicated.

SOC-24V SENSITIVITY TEST FEATURE


The SOC-24V Photoelectric Smoke Detector has a built-in automatic sensitivity test feature.
1. In normal condition, the status LED flashes green.
2. When the sensitivity drifts outside of its sensitivity limits, the status LED flashes red.
3. In the alarm state, the status LED is red continuously.
4. When the sensitivity drifts outside of its sensitivity limits and the status LED flashes red, the device needs to be cleaned or
returned to the factory for cleaning or calibration. Refer to HA Technical Bulletin HA-97 for cleaning information.
