3. Installation 

SLC l

ine impedance is 50Ω at maximum and the maximum length 

is 2km. 
Please refer to 

“Terminal” of the Specifications below for cables.   

Refer  to  the  control  panel  and/or  module  instruction  manual  to 
determine  correct  maximum  loop  load  and  maximum  loop 
resistance for devices connected to each loop. 

 
3.1 Wiring method 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

CAUTION

!

 

 

For system monitoring 

–Do not use looped wire under terminals. 

Break wire run to provide monitoring of connections.   

 

Do not connect different gauge cables at one terminal in order to 

prevent loosening.   

Do not connect cables in reverse polarity. Failure to connect the 

polarity correctly could result in damage to equipment. 
 

3.2 Tamper Resistance Feature 

The EVA-UB series, EVA-S6 Base, and EVA-STB series of 

smoke/heat detector mounting bases have a tamper- resist 

feature that works in conjunction with the detectors. When this 

feature is enabled, the detectors cannot be removed from the 

base without the use of a small hexagonal wrench. To avoid 

unauthorized removal of the detector, turn the locking screw in 

the mounting base counterclockwise until the screw extends out 

about 4 mm (3/16

”) from the rim of the base, as shown in the FIG 

2. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

Note: 

If the detector is installed on a high celling where a tool 

(such as a ladder) is needed, it is not recommended to 

use the locking screw. 

 

 

 

 

3.3 Use of dust cover

 

If the dust cover is not used during construction work, the 
exposure to a slightly dusty environment can cause false alarms 
after installing the detectors. 
After the installation is completed, remove and discard the dust 
cover.   
 

3.4 Use of detector guard 

Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless 
the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that 
purpose.   
 
Notes:

 

•  In  the  event  of  a  false  alarm,  clean  and  re-install  the 

detector. 

•  If  the  detector  still  gives  false  alarms  replace  the 

detector. 

 

4. Testing 

Notes

:  •  Before  testing,  notify  the  proper  authorities  that  the 

system is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily 

be out of service. 

•  Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. 
•  All  sensors  must  be  tested  after  installation  and 

periodically thereafter. 

•  Testing  methods  must  satisfy  the  Authority  Having 

Jurisdiction (AHJ). 

•  When  carrying  out  site  testing  of  the  detector,  the 

control panel must 

be set to “One Man Walk Test” mode 

prior to the test. 

Sensors offer maximum performance when tested and maintained 

in  compliance  with  NFPA  72.  The  sensor  may  be  tested  in  the 

following ways: 

 

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 

– 1500 watts) 

1. 

From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the 

sensor.  Hold  the  heat  source  about  15cm  (6  inches) 

away to prevent damage to the cover during testing. 

2. 

The  red  LEDs  on  the  detector  should  light  when  the 

temperature at the heat detector reaches the alarm set 

point.  If  the  red  LED  indicator  fails  to  light,  check  the 

power  to  the  detector  and  the  wiring  in  the  detector 

base. 

3. 

Reset the heat detector at the control panel. Detectors 

that  fail  these  tests  should  be  cleaned  in  accordance 

with MAINTENANCE Section in the instruction manual 

of  the  detector  and  retested.  If  the  detectors  still  fail 

these tests they should be returned for repair.
