erly wired and mounted to an electrical box, make sure
that the shorting spring is in contact with terminal 3. This
temporary connection permits the wiring of the loop to be
checked for continuity before installation of the detector
heads. The shorting spring in the base automatically disen-
gages when the detector head is removed from the base. DO
NOT remove the shorting spring since it reengages as the
detector head is turned in the base, completing the circuit.
Tamper-resistance Feature
This detector includes an optional tamper-resistance fea-
ture that prevents its removal from the base without the
use of a tool.
NOTE:
DO NOT use the tamper-resistant feature if the XR-
5 or XR-2 removal tool is to be used.
To make the detector tamper-resistant, remove the smaller
tab by breaking it at the scribed line on the tamper-resis-

tant tab before installing the detector (see Figure 3A). The
tamper-resistant tab is on the detector mounting base.
To remove a tamper-resistant detector from the base, use a
pocket screwdriver, or similar tool, to depress the tamper-
resistant tab and turn the detector counterclockwise. The
tab is accessible through the slot on the mounting base (see
Figure 3B).
The tamper-resistance feature can be defeated by breaking
and removing the plastic lever from the base. However, this
permanently disables the tamper-resistance feature.
Optional Remote Annunciator Units
The model RA400Z remote LED annunciator is available
as an optional accessory. This unit has a rectangular plate
that fits U.S. single-gang light switch boxes. If a different
type of remote annunciator is used, it must be rated for the
appropriate voltage, which is 2.75 to 3.0V.
