INSTALLATION
Before installing the CHECKFIRE 210 Detection and Actuation
System, Section 4 - System Planning should be studied in its
entirety. In addition, a resulting system layout drawing with
information on hazard areas, component locations, and routing
of connecting circuits, along with all cable lengths identified,
should be available. Review this drawing and become familiar
with all applicable steps and instructions before installing any
component.
NOTICE
For ease of installation, the fire suppression
system should be installed before the detec-
tion and actuation system.
CHECKFIrE 210 dISpLAY mOdULE INSTALLATION
The CHECKFIRE 210 Display Module may be surface
mounted (3/16 in. (4.7 mm) maximum thickness) or bracket
mounted. For bracket mounting, use the CHECKFIRE 110/210
Mounting Bracket (Part No. 439564). Index pins on the display
module prevent rotating. Note: The display module should
never be mounted in an area subject to pressure washing or
steam cleaning.
Surface mounting Instructions
Although recommended, the CHECKFIRE 210 Display Module
does not require a bracket when surface mounting in a flat
location. The location must properly support the display
module during all vehicle/equipment environmental and operat-
ing conditions (e g., shock and vibration).
1. Refer to layout drawing for planned location and determine
a position within operator’s reach with the best viewing
angle for display module LEDs and easy access to display
module buttons. Verify the location meets approval of the
vehicle/equipment owner and/or vehicle/equipment service
manager.
2. Confirm access to underside or rear of mounting surface to
enable proper cable connections, periodic inspections, and
maintenance. Verify display module location and connec-
tions will not interfere with normal vehicle/equipment oper-
ation, service, and maintenance.
3. Drill three holes matching the correct diameter and layout
for surface mounting, see Figure 5-1.
a. Use the foam gasket as a template to carefully mark
hole locations. The gasket has 4 index holes (for ease
of installation) and the display module has 2 index pins.
Before drilling, make sure index holes on the gasket line
up correctly with the index pins on the display module.
See Figure 5-2.
Note: The foam gasket is packaged in a separate bag
with the enclosure nut, rubber washer, and visual seal
in the CHECKFIRE 210 Shipping Assembly (Part No.
439559).
b. After drilling holes, remove burrs and sharp edges.
4. Install foam gasket on display module.
a. Remove protective backing exposing gasket adhesive.
b. Align with index pins on back of display module and
press in place, securing to display module surface.

5. If possible, hold rubber washer and enclosure nut (pack-
aged in separate bag) on the back side of the mounting
surface so it lines up with the 1 9/16 in. (40 mm) drilled
hole.
6. Carefully feed cables through drilled hole, rubber washer,
and enclosure nut.
7. Fit index pins and threaded boss into the drilled holes.
