FS2000 System. FS2000 System Operation For FS2000 System operation, the Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Fire and Fault signals are sent digitally to the FS2000 System Controller using the four wire FS2000 FireBus. The FireBus provides 24 Volt DC power for the Detector and RS-485 digital communication (Refer to Honeywell Analytics document MN0003: "FS2000 FIRE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM - INSTALLATION and...
Overview 1.4.1 Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector Version SS4-AS: There are two (2) LEDs on the Model SS4-AS Detector that indicate the state of the Detector. During normal operation both LEDs will blink every 10 seconds. If the Detector alarms to a fire, it energizes the Fire relay and turns on both LEDs in the following sequence.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 1.4.2 Detection Range and Field-of View The SS4-AS detection range is field adjustable between 15 and 60 ft. in 15 ft. increments to an industry-standard one square foot heptane, gasoline, kerosene, or isopropyl alcohol pan fire within 5 seconds.
Sensitivity to 1 Sq. Ft. Gasoline Pan Fire Configuration Settings The SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector may be reconfigured in the field and thus optimized for special applications. The configuration of the Detector is set from a DIP switches located on the middle circuit board of the Detector Module. The DIP switch settings for each configuration are listed in Table 2.

Latching or Non-Latching mode. The Factory setting for the SS4-AS is Latching and the SS4-AS2 is Non-Latching. If the SS4-AS or SS4-AS2 Latching mode is selected, the Fire or Verify Relay will energize and Red LEDs will remain illuminated until the Detector power is cycled (power is turned off then on).
1.6.3 Manual Testing For manual testing, the SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector may be exposed to an actual industry standard open flame or to a Test Lamp simulating a fire. It is mandatory to use the Honeywell Analytics handheld UV/IR Test Lamp Model No. FT-2045 or FT-2145 with SS4 Fire Detectors.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION Installation Instructions This section describes the installation of the Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector for the Stand-Alone relay mode. It is recommended that junction boxes be used to wire the Detectors. Determine the configuration settings for the device(s) and the...
2.1.4 Power Supply Considerations The Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector uses 24 Volts DC at a maximum current of 75 mA (with the 4-20 mA option the maximum supply current is 95 mA). Make sure the Panel's power supply can withstand the load current of the total number of Detectors connected to it.

OPERATOR MANUAL // SECTION 2 INSTALLATION 2.2.5 Wiring the SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector for 4 or 20 mA Current Mode Operation (Optional) For applications requiring a 4-20 mA analog output, order the Detector with the Optional 4-20 mA Module Assembly, P/N MA420-4. The module must be Factory installed and certified along with the Detector.
Mount the swivel-mount to the wall assuring correct orientation. c. Install the mounting bracket onto the Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector enclosure using the #¼-20 or #6 mm screws and nuts provided. If oriented correctly, the outside contours of the mounting ears on the Detector enclosure and the ends of the bracket will match.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector Faults The Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector issues a Fault (or Trouble) condition by de- energizing the Fault Relay (J5 connector). The following are Detector Faults: a. Temperature Fault: The Detector faults if the internal temperature during operation rises above 85°C or falls below -40°C causing both...
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Windowed Enclosures and Detectors The optical window (lens) of the Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Detector should be cleaned periodically on a regular maintenance schedule. For clean area applications, perhaps monthly cleaning schedule will be sufficient. For extremely contaminated application environments, such as truck filling stations with presence of black carboneous smoke, daily cleaning schedule may be necessary.
Return the defective module to the factory for repair service. There are no user serviceable parts in the detector module If the Model SS4-AS/-AS2 Module must be shipped back to the factory for repair, it MUST be packed in static protective material. If not available, the Module should be carefully wrapped with aluminum foil.
