The i3 family is founded on three principles: Installation Ease, Intelligence, and Instant Inspection.
Installation Ease
The i3 line redefi nes installation ease with its plug-in design.
This allows an installer to pre-wire the bases included with
the heads. The large wire entry port and in-line terminals
provide ample room for neatly routing the wiring inside
the base. The base accommodates a variety of back box
mounting methods as well as direct mounting with drywall
anchors. To complete the installation, i3 heads plug-in to
the base with a simple Stop-Drop ‘N Lock action.
Intelligence
i3 detectors offer a number of intelligent features to
simplify testing and maintenance. Drift compensation
and smoothing algorithms are standard with the i3 line,
to minimize nuisance alarms. When connected to the
2W-MOD2 loop test/maintenance module, or a panel
equipped with the i3 protocol, 2-wire i3 detectors are
capable of generating a remote maintenance signal when
they are in need of cleaning. This signal is indicated via
an LED located at the module and the panel. To read the
sensitivity of i3 detectors, the SENS-RDR is a wireless
device that displays the sensitivity in terms of percent per
foot obscuration.
Instant Inspection
The i3 series provides wide angle red and green LED
indicators for instant inspection of the detector condition,
indicating: normal standby, out-of-sensitivity, alarm, or
freeze trouble conditions. When connected to the 2WMOD2
loop test/maintenance module or a panel with
the i3 protocol, the EZ Walk loop test feature is available
on 2-wire i3 detectors. This feature verifi es the initiating
loop wiring by providing LED status indication at each
detector.
