Hikvision DS-PDSMK-4BAR AX PRO WIRED Smoke Detector

SKU: DS-PDSMK-4BAR
Description

The Hikvision DS-PDSMK-4BAR is a wired 4-wire photoelectric smoke detector that adds early fire warning to a 12 VDC intrusion or fire alarm system. When smoke enters its sensing chamber, it raises a built-in sounder and signals the connected alarm panel, so an emerging fire is flagged locally and remotely.

§ 01Overview

What the DS-PDSMK-4BAR is

The Hikvision DS-PDSMK-4BAR is a 4-wire photoelectric smoke detector designed to integrate into wired intrusion and fire alarm systems. A photoelectric sensing chamber detects the larger smoke particles produced by slow, smouldering fires, with strong immunity to nuisance triggers from dust or steam, making it suitable for homes, offices and small commercial premises.

It uses a simple 4-wire conventional connection and runs on 12 VDC from the alarm panel. A built-in sounder gives an approximately 85dB local warning, and dual red LEDs provide clear 360-degree status visibility from any angle. The detector offers both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) relay outputs, so it works with a wide range of conventional and hybrid control panels, and its stable sensing chamber and surface-mount design need little routine maintenance.

Importantly, this is a smoke detector for an alarm system, not a stand-alone life-safety device. It supplements - and does not replace - the mains-powered interconnected smoke alarms required under Australian standards such as AS 3786; it should always be connected to a compliant alarm panel. Install it on a ceiling away from kitchens, air vents and humid areas, confirm panel compatibility before wiring, and test activation and signalling after commissioning. It connects to a 12 VDC panel including the Hikvision AX Hybrid Pro DS-PHA64-LP/NP via a wired zone.

§ 02Engineering

DS-PDSMK-4BAR specifications

- Photoelectric smoke sensing gives early warning of slow, smouldering fires with strong immunity to dust and steam nuisance.

- 4-wire conventional connection runs on 12 VDC and integrates simply with wired intrusion and fire alarm panels.

- Built-in high-output sounder delivers an approximately 85dB local alert at 3m to warn occupants immediately.

- Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) relay output suits a wide range of conventional and hybrid control panels.

- Dual red LEDs provide full 360-degree status visibility so the alarm state can be seen from any angle.

- Stable sensing chamber and SMD circuitry need minimal maintenance, with no routine adjustments or part changes.

- Low-profile disc housing with a ceiling-mount base blends discreetly into residential and commercial interiors.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDSMK-4BAR

Early, low-nuisance detection

Photoelectric sensing catches smouldering fires early while resisting false alarms from dust and steam.

Simple wired integration

A 4-wire 12 VDC connection and NO/NC relay output fit most conventional and hybrid alarm panels.

Local plus panel warning

A built-in ~85dB sounder and 360-degree LEDs alert occupants while the panel signals the event.

Low-maintenance build

A stable sensing chamber and SMD design keep upkeep minimal in homes and commercial sites.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Homes and apartments

Add smoke detection to a residential alarm so the panel reports fire as well as intrusion.

Offices and retail

Cover workspaces and shopfronts where a wired alarm panel manages security and life-safety inputs.

Small commercial buildings

Integrate smoke detection into existing wired alarm infrastructure across multiple rooms.

Alarm upgrades

Extend a conventional or AX Hybrid Pro alarm with wired smoke detection on a spare zone.

§ 06Setup

Installation & setup

01

Choose the location

Mount on the ceiling away from kitchens, vents, fans and humid areas that could cause nuisance alarms, following spacing guidance.

02

Wire to the panel

Connect the 4-wire interface to a 12 VDC zone on the alarm panel, selecting the NO or NC relay output to match the panel input.

03

Confirm compatibility

Verify the detector is compatible with the connected alarm panel before fixing and commissioning.

04

Test and commission

After installation, test alarm activation and confirm the panel receives and signals the event correctly.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-PDSMK-4BAR

Q.01

Does this replace the smoke alarms required in my home?

No. It is a smoke detector for an alarm system and supplements rather than replaces the mains-powered interconnected smoke alarms required under Australian standards such as AS 3786. Keep your compliant smoke alarms and use this to add smoke detection to your security panel.
Q.02

How does it connect to an alarm panel?

It uses a simple 4-wire conventional connection and runs on 12 VDC supplied by the panel. It provides Normally Open or Normally Closed relay outputs, so it can be wired to a zone on most conventional and hybrid alarm panels.
Q.03

Which alarm panels is it compatible with?

It works with conventional and hybrid 12 VDC alarm panels, including the Hikvision AX Hybrid Pro DS-PHA64-LP/NP via a wired zone. Always confirm compatibility with your specific panel before installation.
Q.04

What type of smoke sensing does it use?

It uses photoelectric sensing, which responds well to the larger particles of slow, smouldering fires and resists nuisance alarms from dust and steam better than some other technologies.
Q.05

Does it have its own sounder?

Yes, it has a built-in sounder rated at approximately 85dB at 3m, giving an immediate local warning in addition to signalling the connected alarm panel.
Q.06

Where should it be installed?

Mount it on the ceiling, away from kitchens, bathrooms, air vents and humid areas that can cause nuisance activations. Follow the panel and detector instructions for spacing and coverage.
Q.07

Does it need much maintenance?

No, it uses a stable sensing chamber and SMD circuitry that need no routine adjustment. Periodic testing and cleaning per the manufacturer instructions is all that is normally required.
Q.08

What is in the box?

The detector, a mounting base, fixing screws and installation instructions. The 12 VDC supply and wiring come from your connected alarm panel.
