ACC-V ANALOG MULTI-CRITERIA SENSOR

APPLICATIONS
The Hochiki ACC-V Multi-Criteria Sensor is particularly suited for
detecting smoke produced by a wide range of combustibles found in
various applications. Temperature monitoring is achieved by a ther-
mistor placed for optimum sensitivity. Hochiki's unique design allows
fast response to flaming fires as well as smoldering fires while mini-
mizing false alarms.
OPERATION
The ACC-V chamber consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) and
photodiode arrangement. The chamber is designed such that light
emitted by the LED cannot normally reach the photodiode. In the
STANDARD FEATURES event of fire, particles of smoke enter the chamber and scatter the
light. As the smoke level increases, the scattering effect increases,

 ACC-V ANALOG MULTI-CRITERIA SENSOR

ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
The contractor shall furnish and install Hochiki's ACC-V (Multi-Criteria Sensor) as indicated on the plans. The multi-criteria sensor
head and twist lock base is UL Listed and it’s compatible with an UL Listed fire alarm control panel.
The base permits direct interchange with the Hochiki ALG-V, ALK-V/ALK-V2, ALN-V photoelectric type smoke sensors, AIE-EA
ionization type smoke sensor, ATG-EA, ATJ-EA heat sensors and the ACA-V, ACC-V multi-criteria sensor.
The sensitivity of the sensor is capable of being measured by the control panel.
The vandal-resistant, security locking feature shall be used in those areas as indicated on the drawing. The locking feature is
optional and can be implemented when required.

BASES
The Hochiki HSB-NSA-6 and the YBN-NSA-4 mounting bases are electronics free and are a simple rugged design with screw
terminals for wiring connections. A common mounting base allows sensor interchange and maintains loop continuity when
sensors are removed. A simple anti-tamper head locking system is provided which is enabled by removing a small plastic tab on
the back of the sensor. Once locked, the head can be removed using a small diameter screwdriver

NOTE: Fire alarm control panel compatibility is required for DCP products. DCP communications protocol allows system
components (DCP sensors AIE-EA, ALG-V, ACA-V, ACC-V, ALK-V, ALN-V, ATJEA and ATG-EA, bases and modules)
to be used concurrently on a system's SLC (Signaling Line Circuit).
