Johnson Controls PG8932, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Tamper
Removing the detector from the mounting plate initiates a tamper transmission. The tamper
condition is restored after the detector is mounted on the plate.
Battery
The wireless heat alarm is powered by a CR123A or DL123A battery. The detector
periodically checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected, the detector sends a
message to the control panel, which indicates which detector has a battery. In addition, the
yellow LED of the detector flashes every 12 seconds. The detector's sounder chirps every
48 seconds and the yellow LED continues to flash until the battery is replaced. Pressing the
test/hush button silences the chirps for twelve hours if no other trouble conditions exist. The
battery should be replaced with a new battery when the chirps begin. At low battery, the test
button is disabled.
NOTE:
If the alarm does not sound, contact the installer or dealer for service.
Battery Installation and replacement
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of
the used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A:
Battery compartment
To replace the battery, complete the following steps:
1. Twist the detector counterclockwise to remove the detector from its mounting base. To
remove the battery, carefully lift it from the + end using a flathead screwdriver.
Dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
2. To ensure a proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before
installing the new battery.
3. Insert a new CR123A or DL123A battery, available from a local Panasonic or Duracell
dealer, in the battery compartment (A). Insert the
–
end of the battery first. If the battery
is incorrectly inserted, carefully remove and correctly re-insert it following the
procedure described in step 1.
4. To re-install the detector on its mounting base, turn
the detector clockwise until the mating marks align.
5. After the power-up sequence, the green LED blinks
twice every 12 seconds to indicate normal operation.
If the battery is not installed correctly, the detector will
not operate, and the battery may be damaged. If the
detector does not power up, check that the battery is
installed correctly and fully charged.
6. Test the detector as described in this document.
CAUTION:
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH
HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
Installation instructions
Select an accessible location that is not prone to tampering or accidental damage. The heat
detector must be installed and maintained in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association’s Standards (NFPA 72), the National Electrical Code and all local fire a
nd
electrical requirements. The mounting surface should be relatively flat and capable of
accepting screws or anchors. The detector is to be installed in an indoor dry location.
Exposure to weather or corrosive conditions may damage the unit. These detectors are not
to be used with detector guards.
Do NOT Install Detectors in the Following Areas:
In or near areas where particles of combustion are normally present such as kitchens; in
garages; near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space
heaters. In very cold or very hot areas. In wet or
excessively humid areas, or next to bathrooms with
showers. In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas. Near
fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas.
Consult NFPA 72, the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ), and/or applicable codes for specific
information regarding the spacing and placement of
detectors.
The PG8932/PG9932 wireless heat detector shall be
installed and used within an environment that provides the
pollution degree max 2 and over voltages category II in
non-hazardous locations, indoor only. The equipment is
designed to be installed by SERVICE PERSONS only;
(SERVICE PERSON is defined as a person having the
appropriate technical training and experience
necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person
may be exposed in performing a task and of measures
to minimize the risks to that person or other persons).
