Amico Chemetron Retro-Fit Manual Download Page 2

The Amico Retro-fit Alarm will allow an existing Chemetron/Allied to be replaced, without moving the existing back 

box and pipe-stubs.

The LCD filler frame enables the Amico Alert-3 LCD alarm front assembly to sit on the wall of the existing alarm panel 

box. The filler frame acts like a spacer between the Chemetron/Allied box and the front assembly. Please make sure 

that the power source at the breaker panel is turned off before replacing the power supply. The gas supply may also 

be required to be shut off. 

Remove the front frame and the display modules from the back box. Remove 

all internal components of the Chemetron alarm (mother board, power supply, 

sensors and all wiring).  

Ensure that the back box is clear of ALL screws, studs, stand-offs and insert tabs. 

Bend the lower front lip of the alarm box. Ensure that the lip is flat. 

 

Add the power supply to the far left corner of the back box assembly. Use 

4 tapping screws to hold power supply into box. Use tapping screws for 

grounding wires. Please note that tapping screws, or any other screws, are not 

supplied by Amico.

Remove the brass hex fitting from the upper portion of the box pipe-stub 

assembly. Replace  it with the brass hex and female quick-connect fitting 

supplied by Amico.

Connect into place the Alert-3 sensor, which contains the male  quick-connect 

fitting, instead of a DISS fitting (nut and nipple).

Add Amico filler box to the wall surface. Ensure that the box on the wall is in the 

center of the filler box.

Install front assembly and follow the “Installation and Operation Manual of 

Alert-3 Alarm” (Also supplied with retro-fit alarm).
