General design features of DSEs shall be as follows:
(a) Suitability一Design and construction of a DSE shall conform with the performance requirements of Section 5.
(b) Electrical and electronic components一Electrical and electronic components shall be of a quality suitable to withstand the maximum and minimum temperatures that will occur inside the detector when subjected to tests specified in Section 5.Equipment design shall ensure operating conditions of the components used shall not exceed the limits specified by the components’ manufacturer.
(c) Mechanical design一Mechanical strength of all DSE parts, including the detector enclosure and subassemblies, shall be capable of supporting the weight of components mounted thereon. The enclosure shall also be sufficiently rigid to prevent any detrimental effects due to handling in service.
The means of connection shall not permit disconnection of the DSE or its associated detector without initiating a fault or alarm signal at the control and indicating equipment (CIE). Where this requirement can be achieved without providing separate terminations for each incoming and outgoing conductor,such alternative means of connection shall be considered satisfactory. This requirement includes any arrangement by which the DSE can be detached from its terminating facility.
The terminations shall be designed so conductors connected thereto can be rigidly and effectively clamped between metal surfaces, or soldered, to ensure the connection made will not slacken or overheat under normal conditions of use.
Visual alarm indicators shall be red. No other indicator shall be red except that the visual alarm indicator may blink to indicate that the device is operational. A required visual alarm indicator shall conform with the requirements of AS 7240.7.
Where a remote indicating facility is provided, the failure of the remote indicator, a short circuit or an open circuit shall not prejudice the alarm operation of the smoke detector.AS 1603.13 pdf free download.
