The System Sensor i3 Series photoelectric smoke detectors with sounders are ideal for residential applications, especially those that require synchronization of the alarm signal throughout the system. These two- and four-wire models generate an 85 dBA temporal tone. When used with the RRS-MOD synchronization module, technicians can easily synchronize i3 sounders to meet interconnectivity requirements.
All i3 Series detectors are designed with a focus on installation ease, intelligence, and instant inspection. For example, a plug‑in design enables efficient wire management and pre-wiring capabilities that slash installation time and costs; intelligent drift compensation and smoothing algorithms reduce unnecessary maintenance calls; and a visual status indication at each detector differentiates between normal and abnormal conditions to make detector status inspections quick and intuitive.
Accessories for the i3 Series detectors include:
i3 Loop Test/Maintenance Module (2W-MOD2) — This module interprets the i3 remote maintenance signal, provides a visual indication when the two-wire i3 detector requires cleaning, and transmits the maintenance signal to the panel. Additional capabilities include an EZ Walk loop test, style D initiating circuit, and an interface for two-wire detectors for use on a four-wire loop.
i3 Sensitivity Reader (SENS-RDR) — By dramatically simplifying sensitivity measurement using an infrared signal, the reader measures i3 detectors in seconds, eliminating the need for voltmeters, magnets and a physical connection. Sensitivity is displayed in terms of percent per foot obscuration and provides text status indication.
i3 Reversing Relay/Synchronization Module (RRS-MOD) — This module allows all i3 sounder detectors on the loop to sound when one alarms by reversing the polarity to the detector zone. The module also synchronizes all detectors on the loop to ensure a clear, audible signal.
i3 Removal Tool (RT) — Simplify i3 detector removal by attaching this tool to a standard extension pole or broom handle. Designed specifically for high-ceiling installations, the tool minimizes maintenance time.
i3 Adapter Bracket (A77-AB2) — Provide a professional, finished appearance for retrofit installations with this bracket, which covers unsightly rings and unfinished surfaces. Simple installation steps include: mounting bracket to back box, aligning with mounting base, and twisting to secure.
