2. Mount Smoke Detector Backplate
NOTE:
The alarm device should only be installed by a competent engineer or technician. The
device should not be used with a guard.
Once a suitable location is found, mount the detector backplate. Install the mounting base on
the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required. Use the
two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the
screw slots and secure.

3. Mounting
Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base. The detector's alignment notch
should be slightly offset from the mounting base tamper release tab. Then turn the detector
clockwise until it clicks into place.
4. Test Unit
NOTE:
The central monitoring station if used, should be notified prior to the test being gen-
erated. This prevents a false alarm and an unnecessary response from the central mon-
itoring station.
Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds minimum. Alarm activation is indicated by
the flashing LED, the sounder, and transmission of the alarm signal to the control panel. The
detector restores to normal when the test button is released.
NOTE:
Allow a minimum of 20 seconds after power up and , after test, alarm or tamper restore
activations. Do not use the test button when smoke is present.
NOTE:
If the detector is in one of the following states when a test is initiated; it will not enter an
alarm state:
l
Tamper, detector not installed on mounting plate
l
Compensation Trouble
l
Other internal faults that could prevent a smoke or heat alarm
5. Device Enrollment
The 7-digit serial number located on the back of the smoke detector housing must be enrolled
on the alarm systems control panel. See the Receiver Installation Manual and follow the enroll-
ment procedure. For placement tests remove the detector from its backplate for one second
(tamper) and then reattach. Wait at least 30 seconds for the test result before activating again.
A general description of the procedure is provided in the following flow chart:
