Use FSP-851 smoke sensor (NOTIFIER by Honeywell) with Arduino Uno

Other Hardware Sensors

I am wanting to use a FSP-851 smoke detector with my Arduino, But I have the wiring diagram but I don't know what pin does what, and there is 3 pins on the sensor.
Just got it just for this.
Manual: https://fpssa.com.ar/uploads/archivos/Manuales/Notifier/FAPT-851/FAPT-851.I56-3524_pdf.pdf
And is there a GitHub repository?

As such device requires 24 volts DC to operate, it has no business being connected to an Arduino. What exactly do you have in mind? Are you attempting to build your own alarm control panel?

This appears to be a complex sensor. The manual that you referenced is insufficient for anything but plugging it into a "control panel." You apparently need the "operation manual" as stated therein:

"Please refer to the operation manual for the UL listed control unit for specific
operation of the FSP-851, FSP-851T and FAPT-851.
The FSP-851, FSP-851T and FAPT-851 require compatible addressable communications
to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compatible
control panels only."

If available, this other document should detail pinouts and communication protocol.

I have the "installation an maintenance instructions" and "limitations of fire alarm systems" papers.
I will search for operation manual.
(looks like i cant find that "operation manual")
It uses analog communications according to the installation an maintenance instructions.

What i found that may be helpful:

TL;DR: It uses the CLIP or FlashScan Protocol.

"FlashScan® (U.S. Patent 5,539,389) is a communication protocol developed by Notifier that greatly increases the speed of communication between analog intelligent devices. Intelligent devices communicate in a grouped fashion. If one of the devices in the group has new information, the panel’s CPU stops the group poll and concentrates on single points. The net effect is response speed greater than five times that of earlier designs."

"Compatible with FlashScan® and CLIP protocol systems.".
