PAD300-CD Carbon Monoxide Detector
The Potter PAD300-CD is an analog addressable carbon monoxide detector designed for compatible Potter fire alarm control panels using the Potter Addressable Device (PAD) protocol. It uses an electrochemical sensor for accurate CO detection in life-safety applications.
- Analog addressable carbon monoxide detection
- Electrochemical CO sensing technology
- UL 2075 compliant
- 10-year CO sensor lifespan with end-of-life indication
- 70 ppm, 150 ppm and 400 ppm alarm set-points
- Walk Test mode for fast sensor validation
- LED alarm indicator and magnetic test switch
Product Overview
The PAD300-CD is an intelligent analog addressable carbon monoxide detector compatible with Potter fire alarm control panels that use the Potter Addressable Device protocol. Its CO sensing portion uses an electrochemical sensor designed for accurate detection of carbon monoxide gas.
The detector communicates digitally with the compatible control panel and uses one address on the Signaling Line Circuit. The detector is compatible with PAD300 series detector bases and twists onto the base for installation.
