Introduction
This topic provides information necessary to install the detector system.
To install the detector:
1. Unpack the shipping carton. Ensure that the package contains a CD-ROM,
three ferrite rings, two cable glands, and the unit.
2. Determine the optimum location for the detector.
3. Mount APIC or Relay Card inside the detector, if required.
4. Mount the docking station.
5. Connect the docking station to the sampling pipe network.
6. Mount the detector to the docking station.
Installation should only be done by trained technicians.
Note: Each relay card is supplied with a RF suppression ferrite ring. To ensure
compliance with all relevant EMC requirements, conductors connected to the
fault output (included screen wire) should be wound once around a ferrite.
Installation should be in accordance with applicable installation requirements.
These include:
• NFPA-70, National Electrical Code
• NFPA-72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
• CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1
• CAN/ULC-S524 Installation of Fire Alarm Systems
• Any other local, national, or installation requirements or standards.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. All connections should be made with the
power turned off.
Antistatic precautions
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits. This recommendation must be
followed when removing the equipment case, and during installing and servicing.
Caution: When handling any electric components or printed circuit boards,
antistatic precautions must be followed. Failure to do so may result in component
damage.
