MOUNT THE DETECTOR
When setting up a wireless system, it is recommended to
program zones and connect the wireless receiver before
installing batteries in the transmitters.
Install the Mounting Base
Using the two screws provided, mount the base in the
location previously surveyed for proper communication.
Attach the Detector
1. Using the alignment notch on the lip of the
mounting base as a guide, align the detector with
the alignment tabs.
2. Insert the detector into the mounting base and
turn clockwise approximately 15 degrees. It should
snap firmly into place.
Note:
To remove the detector from the mounting
base, grasp the detector and turn it
counterclockwise approximately 15 degrees. The
detector should snap off of the mounting base.
See Figure 4.

TEST THE DETECTOR ALARM
1. To test the detector alarm, enable Walk Test operation on the control panel. If the system is monitored,
the system sends a System Test Begin report (System message S66) to the central station.
To conduct the Walk Test, reset the control panel. From the keypad, enter the code 8144. The keypad
displays
WALK TEST
. Refer to the panel programming guide for complete information on Walk Test
operation.
2. For the XTL Series panels or XT30/XT50 Series panels, select
STD
(Standard Walk Test). For the
XR150/XR550 Series panels, select
FI
(Fire zones). A sensor reset occurs after each detector tested.
3. Remove the heat detector from the mounting base. See
Attaching and Removing the Detector
.
Carefully short the two terminals (screw heads) momentarily to send an alarm signal to the control
panel. Verify that the walk test trip counter increments to indicate a successful test. Once testing is
completed, install the detector back onto the mounting base. Shorting the terminals does not affect
the standard operation of the detector.
4. Select
END
to stop the Walk Test. When the Walk Test ends or a 20-minute time-out expires, a final
Sensor Reset occurs. The System Test End message (System message S67) is sent to the central
station along with verify and fail messages for each zone under test. Faulted zones then display on the
keypad.
Note:
The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be verified for a complete test of the
system. See the panel programming guide for additional information.

General Location Guidelines
In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance
of false alarms from the detector:
•
Locate ceiling-mounted detectors in the center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or
partitions
• Locate wall-mounted heat detectors so the top of the detector is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling
• Mount the detector on a firm permanent surface
•
Locate the detector in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature does not exceed 100 ° F
(37.8 ° C).
• In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate detectors 3 feet (.9 meters) down or away from
the highest point of the ceiling
• When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fastener to
prevent tile removal
