SD365-IV Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector

The Fire-Lite SD365-IV is an intelligent, addressable photoelectric smoke detector designed for commercial and industrial fire alarm systems that require reliable smoldering-fire detection. Manufactured by Honeywell Fire-Lite Alarms, this ivory-colored detector uses a patented chamber design that minimizes false alarms while maintaining high sensitivity to slow-developing smoke conditions typically caused by overheated wiring, smoldering upholstery, and electrical fires.

The SD365-IV is the direct factory replacement for the discontinued SD355-IV. Existing installations using SD355 series detectors can upgrade to the SD365-IV without modifying field wiring, control panel programming, or detector base hardware. The detector is fully compatible with the B300-6-IV (6-inch standard base), B501-IV (sounder base), and B200S-IV (intelligent sounder base), giving fire-alarm contractors flexibility to match existing system aesthetics.

This addressable smoke detector supports both LiteSpeed and CLIP communication protocols, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with Fire-Lite MS-9050UD, MS-9200UDLS, ES-50X, ES-200X, and ES-1000X fire alarm control panels. The rotary address switches allow technicians to assign addresses 01-159 in the field without needing a programming tool.

The SD365-IV is UL 268 listed, ULC certified for Canadian installations, FM approved, CSFM listed, and complies with NFPA 72 requirements. It operates on 15-32 VDC, has an alarm current draw of 6.5 mA at 24 VDC, and offers an operating temperature range of 32 to 100 degrees F.

QuickShipFire stocks the SD365-IV in our California warehouse for same-day shipping anywhere in the United States when ordered before 2:30 PM PST. Every detector ships in factory-sealed manufacturer packaging. Our technical support team has 20+ years of fire-alarm experience and can troubleshoot installation issues over the phone.

Features

  • Intelligent photoelectric sensing for accurate smoke detection
  • Dual protocol support: LiteSpeed and CLIP compatibility

Benefits

The SD365-IV Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector provides enhanced fire safety by detecting smoke at an early stage using advanced optical sensing technology. Its ability to identify smoke from various combustion sources ensures reliable performance across different fire scenarios, improving overall protection.

A major advantage of this model is its dual protocol compatibility. Supporting both LiteSpeed and CLIP communication allows it to work with a wider range of existing and upgraded fire alarm systems. This flexibility makes it ideal for retrofit projects as well as new installations.

Additionally, the detector offers precise location identification through addressable communication, enabling faster emergency response. Its low power consumption improves system efficiency, while its durable design ensures long-term reliability. With easy configuration and maintenance features, it is a practical solution for modern fire detection systems.

Is the SD365-IV a direct replacement for the SD355?
Yes. The SD365-IV is the manufacturer-designated replacement for the discontinued SD355-IV. It uses the same B300-6-IV base, same wiring, and is recognized by all the same Fire-Lite addressable panels. You do not need to repull wire or reprogram the panel for a like-for-like swap
Which Fire-Lite control panels are compatible with the SD365-IV?
The SD365-IV works with all current Fire-Lite addressable panels including the MS-9050UD, MS-9200UDLS, ES-50X, ES-200X, and ES-1000X. It supports both LiteSpeed and CLIP protocols.
Is the SD365-IV suitable for system upgrades?
Yes, its dual protocol compatibility makes it ideal for upgrading older systems without complete replacement.
What is the difference between LiteSpeed and CLIP modes?
LiteSpeed is the faster polling protocol used by current-generation Fire-Lite panels with quicker response times. CLIP is the legacy protocol for older panels. The SD365-IV auto-detects which mode the panel uses, so no manual configuration is required.
How do I set the address on the SD365-IV?
The SD365-IV uses two rotary address switches on the back of the detector. Use a small flathead screwdriver to set the address from 01 to 159 before mounting to its base. The panel reads the address automatically during initialization.
Does it help reduce false alarms?
Yes, the advanced sensing chamber improves accuracy and reduces nuisance alarms.
What does UL 268 listing mean for a smoke detector?
UL 268 is the safety standard for commercial smoke detectors used in fire alarm signaling systems. The 2020 revision added cooking nuisance alarm rejection and polyurethane foam fire response requirements. The SD365-IV meets the current UL 268 standard, required by NFPA 72 for new commercial installations.
What is the difference between SD365-IV and SD365 (white)?
The only difference is the color of the housing — SD365-IV is ivory, SD365 is white. Internally both detectors are identical: same chamber, same protocol support, same listings, same compatibility. Choose the color that matches your existing detector population.
Does the SD365-IV detect carbon monoxide or just smoke?
The SD365-IV is a smoke-only detector. It does not detect carbon monoxide. For combination smoke + CO, use the SD365CO. For combination smoke + heat, use the SD365T.
What is the lifespan of the SD365-IV smoke detector?
Honeywell recommends sensitivity testing per NFPA 72 and replacement after 10 years of service or when the detector cannot be returned to factory sensitivity. Date codes are printed on the back of the detector.
Do you ship SD365-IV detectors the same day?
Orders placed before 2:30 PM PST Monday through Friday ship the same business day from our California warehouse. Standard ground shipping arrives in 2-5 business days; expedited options are available at checkout.
