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