Potter PAD300-PD Analog Photoelectric Smoke Detector

Deliver consistent, low-maintenance smoke detection for commercial security and fire monitoring with the Potter PAD300-PD Analog Photoelectric Smoke Detector. Designed by Potter Electric Signal, LLC, this addressable photoelectric detector gives building owners and integrators reliable early warning of smoldering fires while reducing nuisance alarms in spaces with dust or slow-burning materials. The PAD300-PD reports a wide selectable sensitivity range (1.1–3.5% per foot), communicates its status to the control panel over the PAD protocol, and operates on standard 24V DC power for seamless integration into existing fire alarm and monitoring systems. Its low-profile, ceiling-mount form and UL268 listing make it suitable for commercial, institutional, and security-focused environments where aesthetics and compliance matter. Field-friendly features — including DIP-switch addressing, a magnetic test switch, drift compensation, and a dirty-detector alert — cut installation and maintenance time for service teams. Ideal for projects requiring robust, addressable smoke detection for security, surveillance, and centralized monitoring.
