Honeywell’s IDP-PHOTO-W Series intelligent plug-in smoke detectors are designed for both performance and aesthetics. A new modern, sleek, contemporary design and enhanced optical sensing chamber is engineered to sense smoke produced by a wide range of combustion sources in accordance with more stringent code standards. The IDP-PHOTO-W Series detector sensitivity can be programmed in the control panel software. Sensitivity is continuously monitored and reported
to the panel. Point ID capability allows each detector’s address to be set with rotary, decimal address switches, providing exact detector location for selective maintenance when chamber contamination reaches an unacceptable level.
Voltage Range: 15 to 32VDC peak
Operating Current @ 24VDC: 200µA (one
communication every 5 seconds with green LED
blink on communication)
Maximum Current: 4.5mA @ 24VDC (one
communication every 5 seconds with amber LED
solid on).
Type: Intelligent photoelectric smoke detector.
Purpose: Detects smoke from a wide range of combustion sources using an enhanced optical sensing chamber.
Compatibility: Designed for use with Silent Knight IFP-Series fire alarm control panels (FACPs) and compatible intelligent bases.
Color: White (IDP-PHOTO-W); also available in Ivory (IDP-PHOTO-IV).
Electrical Specifications
Operating Voltage: 15 to 32 VDC (typical range for addressable detectors on a signaling line circuit).
Standby Current: 300 µA (typical).
Alarm Current: 6.5 mA (maximum, with LED on).
Communication: Addressable-analog communication with the FACP via rotary decimal address switches (addresses 1–159).
Sensitivity: Programmable via FACP software, continuously monitored and reported to the panel.
