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.
OPERATION
STANDARD FEATURES
The SOC-24V photoelectric smoke detector utilizes one bicol-
Computer-designed non-directional smoke chamber ored LED for indication of status. In a normal standby condi-
tion the LED flash Green every 3 seconds. When the detector
360° view of detector status LED senses that its sensitivity has drifted outside the UL listed sen-
Low profile, 2" high (with base) sitivity window the LED will flash Red every 3 seconds. When
the detector senses smoke and goes into alarm the status
2 or 4 wire base compatibility, relay bases available LED will latch on Red.
Highly stable operation, RF/Transient protection The detector utilizes an infrared LED light source and silicon
photodiode receiving element in the smoke chamber. In a
Low standby current, 59μA at 24VDC normal standby condition, the receiving element receives no
light from the pulsing LED light source. In the event of a fire,
One built-in power/sensitivity supervision/alarm LED smoke enters the detector smoke chamber and light is reflect-
ed from the smoke particles to the receiving element. The light

outlined requirements in NFPA 72, Chapter 2 & 7, received is converted into an electronic signal.
Inspection, Testing and Maintenance. Fire Judgement signals are processed and compared to a
Magnetic Test Feature reference level, and when five consecutive signals exceeding
the reference level are received within a specified period of
time, the time delay circuit triggers the SCR switch to activate
the alarm signal. The status LED light continuously during the
alarm period.
