The National Fire Protection Association has established
that DUCT DETECTORS MUST NOT BE USED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR OPEN AREA DETECTOR PRO-
TECTION as a means of providing life safety. Nor are they
a substitute for early warning in a building’s regular fire
detection system. Carrier supports this position and strongly
recommends that the user read NFPA Standards 90A, 72,
and 101. This smoke detector is listed per UL 268A.

system safeguards should be discussed with your local fire
protection specialist.
GENERAL
An HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) sys-
tem supplies conditioned air to virtually every area of a
building. Smoke introduced into this air duct system will be
distributed throughout the entire building. Smoke detectors
designed for use inside the unit are used to sense the presence
of smoke passing through the unit.
The smoke detector utilizes photoelectric technology for the
detection of smoke. This detection method, when combined
with an efficient ducting design, samples air passing through
the unit. If sufficient smoke is sensed, an alarm signal is initiat-
ed and the ComfortLink controls will shut down the unit. With
the unit shut down, the unit will not blow toxic smoke and fire
gases throughout the areas served by the duct system.
This device will not sense smoke unless the ventilation sys-
tem is operating and the cover is installed.
For this detector to function properly, it MUST be installed
according to the instructions in this manual. Furthermore,
the detector MUST be operated within ALL electrical and
environmental specifications listed in this manual. Failure
to comply with these requirements may prevent the detec-
tor from activating when smoke is present in the air duct.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform the basic maintenance
functions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All
other operations should be performed by trained service per-
sonnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit,
and other safety precautions that may apply.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Filter Replacement — The filters do not substantially
affect smoke detector performance even when up to 90% of the
filter is clogged. Quarterly visual inspection usually suffices to
determine whether the filters should be replaced. Only a high
percentage of contamination affects performance. If further
testing is required, compare differential pressure readings with
and without the filters installed. If the difference exceeds 10%,
then replace the filters. The pressure differential should never
fall below 0.0015 in. wg.
Configuring the ComfortLink Controller — For
configuration settings refer to the Control and Troubleshooting
Guide for 48/50A020-060 and 48/50Z030-105 units.
Board Replacement
SMOKE DETECTOR BOARD REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the two detector board mounting screws.
2. Pull gently on the board to remove it.
OPERATION
3. To replace the board, align the board mounting features,
holes, and the interconnect terminals. Push the board into
place.
4. Secure board with the two mounting screws.
POWER BOARD REPLACEMENT
The smoke detector must be tested and maintained regu-
larly following NFPA 72 requirements. The smoke detector
should be cleaned at least once a year. Damage to equip-
ment may result.
1. Disconnect wiring from the terminal block.
2. Remove the two power board mounting screws.
3. Pull gently on the board to remove it.
4. To replace the board, align the board mounting features,
holes, and the interconnect terminals. Push the board into
place.
The smoke detector accessories contain a photoelectric
detector approved for an extended air speed range of 100 to
4000 feet per minute (0.5 to 20.3 m/s) and an operational
temperature range of 32 to 131 F (0° to 55 C). Do not operate
the smoke detector outside of these ranges.
The smoke detector operates on 24 VAC, 120 VAC, or
240 VAC. The thermostat power terminals on the unit are used
to power the smoke detector. Alarm and supervisory relay con-
tacts are available for control panel interface (alarm initiation),
HVAC control, and other auxiliary functions. Auxiliary relays
are also provided for fan shut down or signaling of up to 9
other detectors in the loop for multiple fan shut down. The
smoke detector is not designed for 2-wire applications.
The smoke detector can be reset by a momentary power
interruption, by the reset button on the front cover, by the
control panel, or by the remote reset accessory. The smoke
detector incorporates a cover tamper feature that provides
a trouble signal after 20 minutes if the cover is removed or
improperly installed. Proper installation of the cover removes
the trouble condition.
5. Secure board with the two mounting screws.
6. Re-connect wiring to terminal block.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Test and maintain unit smoke detectors as recommended in
NFPA 72. Before conducting these tests, notify the proper
authorities that the smoke detection system will be temporarily
out of service. Disable the system under test to prevent unwanted
alarms.
Smoke Entry Tests
AIRFLOW TEST — The smoke detector is designed to
operate over an extended air speed range of 100 to 4000 fpm.
To verify sufficient sampling of unit air, turn on the unit
indoor fan using the Service Test function (see Controls and
Troubleshooting Guide for details on Service Test) and use a
manometer to measure the differential pressure between the
two sampling tubes.
The differential pressure should measure at least 0.0015 in. wg
and no more than 1.2 in. wg. Because most commercially avail-
able manometers cannot accurately measure very low pressure
differentials, applications with less than 500 fpm of unit air speed
may require the use of a current-sensing pressure transmitter or
the use of aerosol smoke (see Smoke Response Test on page 6).
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Procedure — Notify the proper authorities
that the smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance, and
that the system will temporarily be out of service. Disable the
zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted
alarms and possible dispatch of the fire department.
AIR FILTERS
1. Turn off power to the system.
5
SMOKE RESPONSE TEST — Drill a 1/4-in. hole 3 ft
upstream from the unit smoke detector. Use the Service Test
function (see Controls and Troubleshooting Guide for details
on Service Test) to turn on the unit indoor fan. Measure the air
velocity with an anemometer. Air speed must be at least
100 fpm. If the air speed is greater than 500 fpm, use a conven-
tional manometer to measure differential pressure between the
sampling tubes.
Spray aerosol smoke into the unit through the 1/4-in. hole for
5 seconds. Wait two minutes for the unit smoke detector to
alarm. If the unit smoke detector alarms, then air is flowing
through the detector. Remove the unit smoke detector cover
and blow out the residual aerosol smoke from the chamber and
reset the unit smoke detector. Use duct tape to seal the aerosol
smoke entry hole.
Trouble — If the detector LED does not flash, then the detec-
tor lacks power, the detector board is missing
(replace), the cover has been missing or not
secured properly for more than 20 minutes (secure
cover properly), or the unit is defective (return for
repair).
Test —
The trouble condition can be caused intentionally
to verify correct operation of the system. Remove
the detector board to cause an alarm.
Cover
Tamper — If the cover is removed or not properly secured for
a period longer than 20 minutes, a trouble signal is
generated to indicate the cover is missing.
ALARM TEST
Magnet Test
1. Place the painted surface of the magnet onto the TEST
locator on the bottom of the housing.
2. The red alarm LED on the detector should switch on.
Verify system control panel alarm status and control
panel execution of all intended auxiliary functions
(i.e., fan shutdown, damper control, etc.).
To determine if smoke is capable of entering the sensing
chamber, visually identify any obstructions. Plug the exhaust
and inlet tube holes to prevent unit air from carrying smoke
away from the detector head, then blow smoke directly at the
head to cause an alarm.
3. The detector must be reset by the front cover reset button.
Remove the plugs after this test, or the smoke detector will
not function properly and damage may result.
SENSITIVITY TEST — After verification of alarm capability,
use a field-supplied voltmeter to check detector sensitivity. The
housing cover must be removed to perform this test. If readings
indicate that the detector head is outside of the acceptable range
that is printed on the label of the detector, the detector chamber
requires cleaning.
Standby, Alarm and Sensitivity Tests — The cover
of the smoke detector must be removed to perform these tests.
STANDBY AND TROUBLE TEST
Standby — Look for presence of flashing green LED.
The LED should flash approximately every
10 seconds.
