Note:
Add the SMC Smoke Detector to the
TouchScreen before physically mounting the
smoke detector in the desired location.
A.
Disconnect alarm-notification appliances,
service-release devices, and extinguishing
systems. Test communications between the
control panel and smoke detector before
permanently mounting the smoke detector
as follows:
-
Hold the smoke detector where you plan
to install it.
-
Press the smoke detector test button for
8-to-10 seconds. The smoke detector
sends a signal to the control panel.
-
At the control panel, verify the signal was
received and RF signal strength is
adequate. If no signal is received or the
RF signal is low, relocate the smoke
detector and retest.
B.
Using two supplied screws and anchors,
mount the base.
C.
Attach the smoke detector to the mounting
base as follows:
-
Line up the raised alignment tab on the
lip of the smoke detector with the arrow
on the mounting base.
-
Insert the smoke detector into the base
and turn clockwise about 15 degrees until
it snaps into place.
Note:
The smoke detector cannot be attached
to the mounting base if no batteries are
installed.
D.
Test communications between the control
panel and smoke detector again:
-
Press the Test button on the alarm for 8-
to-10 seconds. The smoke detector sends
a signal to the control panel.
-
Verify that the signal at the control panel
was received.
E.
Test the smoke detector (see section 9).
F.
The control panel alarm and all auxiliary
functions should be verified for a complete
test of the system.
