suitable for indoor use only.
Installation
All detectors must be sited in accordance with the original approved design and site
survey details. Where practical the detector’s LED should face towards the room’s
entrance.
1. Twist the ceiling mounting plate anti-clockwise to remove it from the mounting base.
2. The ceiling mounting plate must be fi tted using both mounting holes and suitable
fi xings or fasteners (see Fig. 1).
Note: Any screw heads must be fl ush or semi fl ush with the internal surface of the ceiling
mount otherwise the battery PCB may be damaged.
3. Attach the mounting base to the ceiling mounting plate ensuring the tamper switch
spring assembly makes contact. Locate the three lugs and twist clockwise.
4. Fit the detector to the mounting base.
5. Fit the power jumper shorting link and commission the unit according to the XPander
commissioning guide PP2286.
