Photoelectric Addressable Smoke Detector, Analog Fire Alarm Sensor PAD300PD

The Potter PAD300-PD is an analog addressable photoelectric smoke detector designed for fire alarm control panels using the Potter Addressable Device (PAD) protocol. This low-profile ceiling-mount detector combines advanced photoelectric sensing technology with addressable communication capabilities, making it ideal for commercial and institutional fire detection systems.

With a sensitivity range of 1.1 to 3.5% per foot and UL 268 7th Edition compliance, the PAD300-PD delivers reliable smoke detection across varied environments. The detector features drift compensation and built-in dirty detector warning to maintain accuracy over time. Communication with the control panel occurs over a proven digital path with polling speed under five seconds—well within UL requirements. The white plastic construction is designed to blend seamlessly into ceiling installations.

Setup and maintenance are straightforward: simply twist the detector onto any compatible PAD300 series base and program the address using rear-mounted DIP switches—no special tools required. An LED alarm indicator and magnetic test switch provide convenient status monitoring and field testing. The detector operates on 24V DC input and includes a 5-year limited warranty.
