The System Sensor D4120 is a commercial 4-wire duct smoke detector designed for monitoring smoke within HVAC duct systems. As part of the InnovairFlex™ Series, it continuously samples air flowing through supply and return ducts to detect smoke before it is distributed throughout the building, helping initiate HVAC shutdown and other programmed fire alarm functions.
The detector features low-flow smoke detection technology, a plug-in smoke sensor, dual DPDT relay outputs, remote test capability, and a flexible housing that accommodates both square and rectangular mounting footprints. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.
Product Functions
- Detects smoke within HVAC duct systems
- Monitors supply and return air ducts

Electrical & System Information
The D4120 is a conventional 4-wire duct smoke detector that operates from 24 VAC/DC or 120 VAC power sources. It incorporates separate alarm, supervisory, and auxiliary relay outputs, allowing independent control of fire alarm systems, HVAC equipment, and building automation devices.
The detector operates in duct air velocities from 100 to 4,000 ft/min and supports local testing through a magnetic test switch or cover-mounted Test/Reset button. Remote testing is available using compatible RTS151, RTS151KEY, or RTS2-AOS remote test stations.
