Data Sheet FX85005-0126

These easy-to-install fi re alarm

systems demonstrate that value

doesn’t have to come at the

expense of quality, and that small

building owners don’t have to settle

for second-rate fi re protection.

With FireworX comes a full lineup

of advanced features designed

expressly for new and retrofi t

projects that cry

out for simplicity,

yet need state-of-

the-art protection.

GE’s patented CleanMe® remote maintenance

reporting feature enables compatible

conventional smoke detectors to send an

alert to the FireworX control panel if the

detector drifts out of the UL sensitivity range.

This feature reduces the chance of a false

alarm and simplifi es service calls.

Meanwhile, exclusive built-in drift

compensation dramatically extends the time

between cleanings – and if cleaning is ever

necessary, GE’s exclusive optical chamber

takes just seconds to replace!

Reflective Beam DetectorData Sheet FX85001-0560

The EC-50R/-100R comprises a transmitter and receiver in a single enclosure and is usually installed between 19 inches and 24 inches below the ceiling. The transmitter emits an invisible infrared light beam that is reflected via a prism mounted directly opposite and with a clear line of sight. The reflected infrared light is detected by the receiver and analyzed.

SuperDuct Series

Duct Smoke DetectorsData Sheet FX85001-0583 (four-wire) Data Sheet FX85001-0585 (two-wire)

SuperDuct smoke detection is ideally suited to HVAC applications where early indication of combustion is required within the confined space of ventilation ductwork. SuperDuct detectors continually sample air flow in the HVAC duct and initiate an alarm condition whenever smoke is detected. Air velocity in the duct as low as 100 ft/min. maintains adequate air flow into the sensor smoke chamber through air-holes in the air sampling tube and discharges through the exhaust tube.
