Environmental Considerations

5.2.1 SunShield

The SunShield is required on detectors to avoid exceeding maximum operating temperature and/or false 
alarms. The SunShield is securely held in place by the magnet on the back of the detector as shown below. 
With the SunShield installed, the D-ring and magnet can still be used for installation.
