SD505-Duct Smoke Detector and Housing
The SD505-Duct Smoke Detector and Housing is a heavy-duty duct housing that arrives with the SD505-APS addressable photoelectric smoke detector pre-installed a factory-matched unit engineered to detect smoke and products of combustion inside HVAC air-handling systems. It’s designed for early smoke detection in supply and return ducts, delivering intelligent addressable communication so the fire alarm panel can pinpoint the exact location of activity. Built-in cover test/reset functionality and remote testing capability streamline inspection routines, while stable operation across airflow ranges from 300 to 4,000 ft/min makes it a dependable choice for a wide span of commercial and institutional HVAC layouts.
Features
- SD505-APS addressable photoelectric head pre-installed from the factory
- Heavy-duty housing built for sustained HVAC duty cycles
- Early smoke detection for HVAC supply and return air handling
- Intelligent addressable communication for precise location reporting
- Built-in cover test/reset button for quick manual diagnostics
- Remote testing capability for hard-to-reach duct locations
- Stable operation across 300–4,000 ft/min airflow
Benefits
Ordering the SD505-Duct instead of a housing-plus-head-separate configuration saves procurement and install time — the assembly arrives pre-matched, factory-installed, and ready to mount. The SD505-APS head’s intelligent addressable reporting means dispatched technicians know exactly which duct run is in alarm, which shortens mean time to response in large buildings with many detection points. Wide airflow tolerance (300–4,000 ft/min) removes one of the classic install worries on older buildings with variable HVAC performance. Remote testing capability is a quiet but meaningful maintenance win: inspections happen faster, which keeps the facility compliant without disrupting tenants.
