9. Turn on power to the controller.
10. Turn on the controller and place it into normal operation.

CAUTION:

Allow the replacement detector to warm up for 5 minutes

 

before you continue with the 

next step.

11. Calibrate the transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 16 of this manual.

Replacing the Amplifier

1. Turn off power to the controller.

2. Place the controller’s on/off switch in the OFF position.
3. Remove the junction box cover.
4. Unplug the detector terminal strip and controller terminal strip from their sockets. You may leave 

the wires connected to the terminal strips.

5. Unscrew and remove the screw with the flat and lock washers that secures the amplifier to the 

junction box.

6. Remove the old amplifier.
7. Install the amplifier into the junction box with the screw, lock washer, and flat washer you 

removed in Step 5 above. A foam gasket that orients the amplifier and keeps it from rotating is 
installed on the bottom of the amplifier. Make sure the amplifier is seated flat in the junction box.

8. Install the detector and controller terminals strips into their sockets on the new amplifier as shown 

in Figure 4 on page 11 of this manual. If controller leads or detector leads were removed during 
this procedure, refer to Table 4 and Table 5 below.
