Duct Probe Unit
DPK6 Duct Probe with 4B-C 4” Continuity Base

General Information

The DPK6 duct probe units have been developed to detect smoke in ventilation
ducts and offer significant benefits in terms of performance and installation.
For most applications, smoke or combustion products are likely to have travelled
some distance ageing the smoke prior to reaching the probe unit. It is therefore
normally recommended that an optical smoke detector be fitted, and this is often
a requirement of building regulations. The DPK6 duct probe units use FC460PH
Multi Sensor Smoke Detectors.

The DPK6 Duct Probe units are not normally mounted directly inside ducts
because the airflow only allows the detector to sample air from a small section
of the duct and such detectors would rapidly become dirty. Instead, ducting is
protected by the use of probe units which gather air from a cross section of the
duct and pass it through a smoke detector head.

The system comprises only one single duct probe tube which improves
efficiency and reduces installation time. The DPK6 duct smoke detector housing
is designed to comply with the stringent demands of new European standard EN
54-27. The system fulfils all the requirements for safe fire detection with airflow
speeds from 1,5 m/s to 20 m/s.

For the airflow through the adaptor to be representative of the airflow in the
ventilation duct, the detector should be installed at a place where normally flow
meters etc. are sited.

Please see the mounting instructions supplied with the product.
