The Potter PAD200-PD is an intelligent addressable photoelectric smoke detector. Specifically, the “PD” head is the photoelectric variant in the PAD200 family (Potter part number 3992770).
First, the detector senses smoke particles in its sensing chamber. Then it reports the analog value back to a compatible Potter addressable fire alarm panel.
How the Potter PAD200-PD Detects Smoke
Photoelectric detectors respond best to the visible smoke produced by smoldering fires. In addition, they tend to resist nuisance alarms from cooking vapors better than ionization detectors.
Therefore the PAD200-PD fits offices, sleeping areas, and other spaces where smoldering combustion is the more likely first sign of fire. As a result, it has become a common choice on modern Potter installations.
Where the PAD200-PD Is Used
You will see the PAD200-PD on Potter addressable fire alarm systems in commercial, institutional, and light-industrial buildings. Furthermore, it pairs with the matching PAD200-series base for installation.
