Description

Product Overview

The ANWETECH AT-S234 AC 120V is a non-addressable photoelectric smoke detector designed for indoor smoke monitoring in areas where an AC 120V power supply is available.

This version uses an AC 110V power design that permits AC 120V input. It is a separate voltage version and must be specified as AC 120V when ordering.

The detector uses an infrared photoelectric sensing chamber to detect visible smoke particles generated by smoldering fires and open flaming fires. It operates directly from the specified AC supply without requiring an addressable fire alarm loop.

A built-in audible alarm is included in the standard configuration. The detector also provides one voltage-free relay output with selectable normally open or normally closed operation. The NO/NC mode is selected using an onboard selector switch.

Smoke sensitivity can be adjusted using an internal switch. The standard factory setting is 1 dB/m.

Alarm and detector fault conditions share the same relay output group. The product does not provide a separate fault relay output.

  • Voltage-free dry contact output for external alarm integration
  • Selectable NO or NC relay mode through an onboard switch
  • Adjustable smoke sensitivity with 1 dB/m standard factory setting
  • Built-in audible alarm included in the default configuration
  • Direct AC operation without an addressable fire alarm loop
  • Alarm and fault conditions transmitted through one shared output
  • Suitable for electrical cabinets, packaged substations and indoor equipment spaces

Key Features

Direct AC 120V Power Supply

The detector connects directly to an AC 120V power source. It does not require a separate 24VDC power supply or an addressable detection loop.

The AC 120V and AC 220V products are separate versions and must not be treated as a universal wide-voltage detector.

Photoelectric Smoke Detection

The infrared photoelectric sensing chamber responds to visible smoke particles produced by both slow smoldering fires and open flaming fires.

Adjustable Sensitivity

An internal selector allows the smoke sensitivity to be adjusted according to the application environment. The standard factory setting is 1 dB/m.

Selectable NO/NC Dry Contact

The detector provides one voltage-free relay output:

  • Terminal 3: COM
  • Terminal 4: Selectable NO/NC

The required contact mode is selected using the internal selector or DIP switch.

Standard Audible Alarm

The default product configuration includes an audible alarm with a stated sound level of at least 80 dB.

LED Status Indication

  • Normal monitoring: Green indicator flashes
  • Smoke alarm: Red indicator remains illuminated
  • Product fault: Red indicator remains illuminated

Shared Alarm and Fault Output

Smoke alarm and product fault conditions share the same relay output group. There is no separate dedicated fault contact.

Selectable Reset Mode

The detector can be configured for automatic reset or power-off reset.

Interference-Resistant Design

The detector includes design features intended to improve resistance to:

  • Dust
  • Insects
  • External white light
  • Radio-frequency interference

Detection Distance / Performance Data

A fixed detection distance is not specified for this point-type smoke detector.

Detection performance is determined by the smoke entering the photoelectric sensing chamber and by the selected sensitivity setting.

  • Sensitivity is field-adjustable
  • Standard factory setting: 1 dB/m
  • Recommended maximum corridor spacing: 15 m for corridors less than 3 m wide
  • Distance from the end wall must not exceed half of the detector spacing

Detector quantity and spacing must also follow the applicable project design requirements and local fire alarm installation rules.

Wiring / Signal Output Description

Type A Lead-Wire Connection

  • Red lead: L
  • Black lead: N
  • Terminal 3: COM
  • Terminal 4: Selectable NO/NC

Type B Terminal-Base Connection

Type B is the standard connection arrangement.

  • Terminal 1: L
  • Terminal 2: N
  • Terminal 3: COM
  • Terminal 4: Selectable NO/NC

The internal selector switch determines whether terminal 4 operates as normally open or normally closed.

The dry contact can be connected to compatible external monitoring or control equipment such as:

  • BMS input
  • PLC digital input
  • Remote alarm input
  • GSM alarm module
  • Local alarm panel
  • Intermediate relay

For motors, fans, solenoid valves or other high-inrush and inductive loads, use an appropriately rated intermediate relay or contactor. Do not connect a high-power load directly without confirming its electrical characteristics.

Alarm and detector fault conditions use the same relay output. The detector does not provide a separate fault terminal.

Installation / Mounting Notes

  • Install the detector near the center of the protected ceiling area.
  • Maintain at least 0.5 m of clear space around the detector.
  • Maintain at least 1.5 m horizontal distance from an air-conditioning supply outlet.
  • Maintain at least 0.5 m horizontal distance from walls or beams.
  • For corridors less than 3 m wide, install the detector centrally.
  • Corridor detector spacing should not exceed 15 m.
  • The distance from the detector to the end wall should not exceed half of the detector spacing.
  • Horizontal installation is recommended.
  • If inclined installation is necessary, the angle must not exceed 45 degrees.
  • Keep the dust cover fitted during building construction.
  • Remove the dust cover only when the detector is formally placed into service.
  • Disconnect the AC power supply before wiring or adjusting the internal switches.
  • Verify that the ordered product is the AC 120V version before applying power.
  • Perform a simulated smoke alarm test at least once every six months.
