Warranty Information
Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details.
S-Quad Device Functionality
The S-Quad integrates dual angle smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide gas detection with an electronic sounder, speech, and LED flasher (strobe) in a single unit. It offers various sensor configurations and configurations for sound, speech, and strobe operation.
Monitoring and Device Status
S-Quad devices are monitored regularly for performance. The system can detect faults, environmental conditions, and operational status, providing exception codes for diagnosis. Device status can be viewed on the control panel, showing loop status, device description, and analogue channel usage.
Sounder, Speech, and Strobe Operations
The sounder meets EN54 Part 3 standards, offering adjustable volume and synchronization. Speech messages are stored on flash memory and can be custom programmed. The strobe is a high-power red LED designed for wide viewing angles.
Siting and Installation
S-Quad devices are installed using a base and can be surface or semi-flush mounted. Specific siting guidelines are provided to avoid false alarms.
Commissioning
The S-Quad requires commissioning using a dedicated tool to configure its operational state, tone settings, volume, and other parameters based on the environment.
Troubleshooting and error codes
| Exceptions /Condition codes | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1000000000 or 0100000000 or 1100000000 | This is the sub-fire band and if set should be taken as showing that the sensor is at its optimum sensitivity for its location. | No action need be taken. |
| 2000000000 or 0200000000 or 2200000000 | A sub-fire has been generated which would suggest that the sensor was either too sensitive for its environment or that the sensor type may be incorrect for the location. | Action should be to check location and alter sensor state or type as required. The customer should be made fully aware of this change. Remember to backup all changes of states onto the NVM. |
| 0010000000 or 0020000000 | These codes indicate that the sensor is in a windy location. This will cause the chamber voltage to drop. Code Level 1 shows one drop only, Level 2 shows greater than one drop. | The location should be checked and a change in siting made, if required. Note: Wind will not cause the sensor to false alarm. |
| 0000100000 or 0000200000 or 0000010000 or 0000020000 | This shows that the sensor time averages are close to acceptable limits. | On commissioning the sensor should be replaced. A sensor with code 2 is worse than code 1. On maintenance sensors with code 2 should be replaced. |
| 0000001000 or 0000002000 or 0000000100 or 0000000200 | This shows that high frequency noise events have been detected by the system. A code 1 shows one event and a code 2 shows more than one event. | The sensor should be replaced. On maintenance, sensor with code 2 should be replaced. If it reoccurs then check the environment. |
| 0000000010 or 0000000020 | This shows sensor hardware faults. 1 for code 1 and more than one for a code 2. | The sensor should be replaced. |
| 0000000001 or 0000000002 | This shows that transmission faults are being noted. Code 2 is worse than code 1. | The sensor should be replaced. If it reoccurs then check the environment. |
