Mounting Instructions

1.  Select a mounting location over the center of the 

door or doors to be covered. (The target must walk 

directly toward the detector.)

2.  The detector may be mounted on the ceiling, wall or 

door frame. It may be surface-mounted or mounted 

to a keyswitch plate with a size “D” hole. 

NOTE

: The 915 is not tall enough to completely 

cover a single-gang box. Where aesthetics are 

important, it is recommended that the detector be 

mounted over a standard single-gang plate.

3.  The mounting height range is from 7 to 15 feet 

above the floor. Ensure all wiring is unpowered 

before routing.

4.  Remove back cover from the detector by inserting 

the head of a small straight-edge screwdriver into 

the locking tab and pry off. 

NOTE

: Once the back cover is removed, the front 

cover and detector module will also separate.

5.  Route the wiring as necessary through the wiring 

entrance (see Fig. 1). For surface wiring, use the 

breakout wiring entrance on the front cover (at the 

same end as the wire entrance).

6.  Loosely mount the back cover to the mounting 

surface. Use the supplied mounting screws.

7.  Mount the detector module to the back cover. Aim 

the detector for the desired coverage. 

NOTE

: The 915 is not designed as a primary means 

of exit for emergency egress applications.

Wiring Instructions

1.  Connect the wiring connector (provided) to the wire 

plug on the circuit board as shown in Fig. 2. 

CAUTION

: Only apply power after all connections 

have been made and inspected. 

NOTE

: Excess wiring may be coiled behind the back 

cover along the channels provided.
