SL-DA4R Series Smoke Duct Detector

The SL-DA4R Series Smoke Duct Detector is the latest analog addressable innovation for early detection of smoke and products of combustion present in air moving through HVAC ducts in Commercial, Industrial, and Residential applications. The unit is designed to prevent the recirculation or spread of smoke by air handling systems, fans, and blowers. Complete systems may be shut down via the unit’s on-board alarm contact in the event of smoke detection. The SL-DA4R is designed and built to meet all local code requirements, as well as the NFPA and ICC standards regarding HVAC supply and return duct smoke detectors. Output terminals are provided for a wide range of remote accessories such as horns, strobes, remote status indicators and test key switches or push buttons. The SL-DA4R includes many features that represent true innovations from current generation duct smoke detectors. Our traditional installer/servicer-friendly approach has been closely followed and expanded throughout the SLDA4R. This philosophy provides a new level of efficiency in after-purchase value to both the installer/servicer and end user. Our attention to detail has yielded a host of “No-Tools Required” features, as well as a multi-application performance level as yet unmatched in the industry. The key features below detail many of the customer-driven innovations incorporated in the SL-DA4R Series. Innovative product combined with unsurpassed customer service equals the right combination for all of your projects.
