DESCRIPTION:

i 3

The Models 9.0 V and 120 V/AC Series devices are ionization type smoke detectors containing a maximum of 1.0 pCi (37 kBq) of i

Am-241.

Each of the series use the same ionization chamber.

The

)

models in the series are essentially similar in design and construction with size and cosmetic differences being the primary variations between the series.

The models in the 9.0 V series are powered by a 9 volt DC battery while the models in the l

120 V/AC series are powered by a 120 AC line voltage.

Models in the 120 V/AC series can come equipped with or without a battery back-up.

The external dimensions of the models within the series range from 4" (101.6 mm) to 5" (127 mm) in circumference and 1" l

(25.4 mm) to 1.5" (38.1 mm) in height.

The circuit board is common between'all models with exception of added space for i-additional features, i.e.,

escape light, alarm silence, etc.

The 4

i chambers all incorporate either a NRD or Amersham source with l

maximum activity of 1.0 mci (37 kBq)..

'Although these devices l-were originally approved for a maximum activity of 1.3 yCi (48.1 kBq), - Coleman Safety and Security Products, Inc. (formerly Seatt Corporation) never manufactured or intends to manufacturer i

at an activity' greater than 1.0 pCi (37 kBq).

Coleman Safety and-Security Products, Inc. distributes the smoke detectors under various marketing names.

However, the labels will bear Coleman's i

i license number.

4 Coleman Safety and Security Products, Inc. previously distributed i

these detectors under numerous separate model numbers.

For marketing purposes, Coleman will now distribute the detectors under the 9.0 V and 120 V/AC Series designations.

1 The elimination of the multiple models numbers does not imply any changes to the ion chamber or design.
