Duct Smoke Detectors
SM-501 Series

Description
The Air Products & Controls SM-501 Series Duct Smoke
Detectors provide early detection of smoke and combustion
products present in air moving through HVAC ducts. Air
sampling is accomplished by intake sampling tubes, which
are ordered separately. A standard length exhaust tube is
provided with each detector. The SM-501 Series is designed
to operate in duct widths from 6" (15 cm) to 10.0' (3.05m) with
an air velocity from 500-4000 fpm (2.5-20.3 mps). Complete
systems may be shut down in the event of smoke detection.

OPERATION
The SM-501 Series will operate on any one of four input
voltages: 24 VAC, 24 VDC, 115 VAC, or 230 VAC. It uses
7 either photoelectric or ionization smoke detector heads. Each SM-501
detector contains two alarm contacts, which transfer in the
event of smoke, and one trouble contact, which supervises the
presence of input power and removal of the detector head. A
manual test/reset switch and visual indicators of pilot and alarm Features
are provided on the front of the detector. Up to 30 SM-501

MOUNTING FIGURE 1. TYPICAL DUCT NSTALLATION

Mount the detector in an air duct using the provided template Stopper
and four sheet metal screws. Detector must be mounted at least
six duct widths from the fan or other sources of turbulence with
airflow from 500-4000 fpm (2.5-20.3 mps). The intake sampling Airflow
tube has holes drilled the entire length of the tube and should

Installation Top of Detector

1. Cut the intake sampling tube to the desired length.
2. Firmly insert the stopper (provided with the detector)
in the end of the intake sampling tube.
Note: Sampling tubes over 3' (0.9m) must be supported on
the opposite side of the duct from the detector.
