SD355(A), SD355T(A)
Addressable Photoelectric
Smoke Detectors
Addressable Devices

GENERAL
The SD355(A) and SD355T(A) addressable, low-profile plug-
in photoelectric detectors use a state-of-the-art photoelectric
sensing chamber with communications to provide open area
protection and are used exclusively with Fire•Lite’s Address-
able Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). The SD355T(A) adds
thermal sensors that will alarm at a fixed temperature of 135°F
(57°C). Since these detectors are addressable, they will help
emergency personnel quickly locate a fire during its early
stages, potentially saving precious rescue time while also
reducing property damage. Two LEDs on each sensor light to
provide a local, visible sensor indication. Remote LED annun-
ciator capability is available as an optional accessory (P/N
RA400Z).
SD355 with B350LP base
FEATURES
SLC loop:
• Two-wire loop connection.
• Unit uses base for wiring.
Addressing:
• Addressable by device.
• Direct Decade entry of address: 01 – 99 with MS-9200
series, and 01 – 159 with MS-9600 series.
Architecture:
• Unique single-source, dual-chamber design to respond
quickly and dependably to a broad range of fires.
