PROFESSIONAL PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE ALARM
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation:
n
Terminals at back of mounting base are marked as follows:
A - Active I - Interconnect N - Neutral E/Loop - Earth or Loop
EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE ALARM WIRING:
When interconnected, all smoke alarms will sound upon activation. However,
only the originating smoke alarm will have flashing Red LED.
WARNING:
Connecting the Interconnect terminal to any supply conductor will
result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate or shock hazard and will void
the warranty of the alarm.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances must an insulation resistance test be
carried out on a circuit to which a smoke alarm is connected.
The test could cause irreparable damage to the internal circuitry of the smoke
alarm and make it inoperative.
The warranty would be void under such circumstances.
WARNING:
Clipping the Electronic Unit in the base will activate the battery.
The battery has been designed to have a lifespan of 10 years in normal
working condition.
Plastic Bag:
1.
The smoke alarm is supplied in a plastic bag to protect the electronic unit
from dust during the building construction phase.
2.
Legrand recommendation is to place the electronic unit (in the plastic bag)
aside until commissioning of the building. This will protect the electronic
unit from dust.
3.
On commissioning, discard the plastic bag and clip the electronic unit into
the mounting base assembly.
4.
Once removed, keep the plastic bag away from babies and children to
avoid danger of suffocation.
Mounting Instructions:
BEFORE mounting the smoke alarm, please read the following carefully.
This smoke alarm is made up of 2 sub-assemblies – the mounting base
assembly & the electronic unit.
Legrand recommendation is to place the electronic unit (in the plastic bag) aside
until commissioning of the building.
The electronic unit should only be removed from the plastic bag at the end of the
building construction phase, when the smoke alarm is to be commissioned. The
building construction phase includes sanding, painting preparation, painting,
flooring etc.
1.
Select a suitable location on the ceiling for the smoke alarm.
2.
Cut a Ø90mm hole in the ceiling.
3.
Strip the Active, Neutral & Interconnect (if used) wires back according to the
strip length shown in figure 1.
4.
Unscrew the terminal cover to access the terminals.
5.
Connect the wires to the correct terminals on the mounting base as shown in
figure 1. Ensure the screws are fully tightened.
6.
Break out tabs on terminal cover to suit cable. Screw the terminal cover back
onto the mounting base to prevent accidental contact with live terminals.
7. Insert the mounting base into the hole. Tighten the 2 screws to clamp the
mounting base onto the ceiling. Refer to figure 2.
8. Do not remove the electronic unit from the plastic bag.
Mounting Instructions:
Toggle position indicates unit is not
clamped onto ceiling. In this position,
the Electronic Unit cannot be fitted.
Toggle position indicates unit

Tighten 2 screws to clamp Mounting Base onto ceiling
Commissioning:
1.
Remove the electronic unit from the plastic bag.
2.
Remove the spacer from the electronic unit.
3.
Insert the electronic unit into the mounting base as shown in figure 3. Push
the electronic unit firmly until it latches (clicks) onto the mounting base.
4.
