Mounting Instructions

● 

Using the backplate of the unit (or the template on the rear of the carton), mark the position of 
the screw holes (A) and cable entry hole (B) on the wall at the selected mounting position. 

Drill and plug the wall as marked.

● 

Using a long masonry bit, drill a hole through the wall to allow the cable to pass through. 

● 

To remove the front cover on the Minn-XW, gently remove the transparent cover using a screwdriver as shown 
in fig 1 and remove the screw. 

Mount the unit on the wall with screws provided, not forgetting to pass the cable through the entry 
hole on the backplate.

● 

Make the connections to the terminal block (refer to sections 3-4).

● 

Configure the jumpers as described in section 2 (not Minn-X).

● 

Replace the lid and tighten screw. (On Minn-XW, ensure the transparent screw cover is replaced, see fig 2) 

● 

Alternatively, when used indoors the unit can also be connected to surface wiring or trunking using the 
knock out cable entry on the top surface of the cover.

● 

The back plate also has mounting holes for attachment directly to a BS 4662 plaster depth back box.

Jumper Settings 

(Minn-X)

Battery (C)

Once installed, this jumper must be moved to the ON 
position to connect the battery. 
This will activate the automatic 5 second sound test. 
The LED will not illuminate until the hold-off voltage is applied.

Cut Off Timer (D) - for the sounder

Can be set to either 15 or 3 minutes by putting
the jumper on the relevant pair of pins.

Note: Removing the jumper selects 3 minutes cut off time.

SAB / SCB Operation (E)
