Install smoke detectors in accordance with NFPA 72,
Chapter 11:
“Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of
each sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit, including
basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
In new construction, a smoke detector shall also be installed in
each sleeping room.”
2. Mount Smoke Detector Backplate
Mount backplate using screws
provided and the appropriate holes
on the mounting plate.
NOTE:
Install wiring in accor-
dance with the appropriate
national and local electrical codes.
For UL/ULC Installations, the power
supply must be supplied from a
UL/ULC Listed alarm control unit.
CAUTION
:
The dust cover pro-
tects the unit when not in service.
Remove dust cover before use.
3. Wiring
Refer to the wiring diagrams in this installation sheet and
those provided in the Installation Manual of the alarm control
panel being used with the unit. Before connecting the unit,
prepare the wires from the electrical box for connection; Do
not use frayed or bent wire.
CAUTION:
Do NOT use looped wire under terminals for sys-
tem supervision. Break the wire run, to provide supervision of
connections.
When wiring is completed, inspect it and correct any errors
before applying power to the unit. When the wiring has been
thoroughly reviewed, neatly insert the wires into the electrical
box and secure the unit to the mounting plate.
To connect this device use only wiring listed as fit for the pur-
pose.
4. Mounting
Detector Installation
Position the detector on to the base plate using the detector
and base plate alignment marks. Press the detector gently in
place while rotating the detector clockwise until the detector
snaps into place. Remove the side tab from the locking tab to
lock in place (optional).
Removal:
If the side tab is removed to
lock the detector, depress tab with a
small flat blade screwdriver and rotate
detector counter-clockwise until the
alignment marks line up. Remove
detector.
5. Test Unit
Initiate test for units without a siren by
placing a magnet near the LED/Test Button for greater than 5
seconds. Initiate test for units with a siren by pressing the test
button for greater than 5 seconds.
Alarm activation is indicated by the LED, the siren, and the
alarm reporting to the control panel. If the smoke detectors
are inter-connected using model PRM-4W and a detector is
tested, then all detectors will sound. The detector restores to
normal when the test button is released or when the magnet
is removed.
NOTE:
Allow a minimum of 20 seconds between test activa-
tions.
NOTE:
If the detector is in one of the following states when a
test is initiated; it will not enter an alarm state.
1. Compensation trouble.
2. Failure of heat or smoke detector.
3. Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat
alarm.
NOTE:
Smoke sensitivity of installed detectors can be mea-
sured without removal or an alarm being generated using the
FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter
.
Test Unit with FSD-100 Smoke Detector Test Meter
To test the unit using the FSD-100, set the test meter up to
read devices as per the instructions supplied with the test
instrument. Depress the test button (or place the FSD-100 on
the outside edge of the plastics beside the test button to acti-
vate the reed switch on units without siren) on the smoke
detector for 1 second and release.
NOTE:
If the test button is held for 5 seconds or longer, an
alarm will be generated. Move the test meter over the center
of the detector, wait until you hear the test meter beep,
remove the unit and the information can be immediately
reviewed. Please see the instructions supplied with the FSD-
100 Smoke Detector Test Meter for more information.
6. Compensation Reset
Cleaning, replacement of the smoke sensor, or other changes
may change the background signal/noise of the detector; this
requires the drift compensation be reset. Compensation trou-
ble is one of the faults indicated when the LED indicator is OFF
while the siren is chirping.
• Remove power from the unit, then press and hold the test
button for 30 seconds to power down unit.
• Power up unit while pressing the test button.The LED will
flash; when 5 seconds has elapsed. Release the test button
within 1 second after the fifth LED flash.
• The LED will flash every 8 seconds for 1 minute. When the
detector stops flashing test the detector to verify normal
operation.
