The address of the unit is set when programming the device to the systems Radio Hub (see
commissioning manual for details). The installation must conform to BS5839: Part 1 (or
applicable local codes).
Installation of Radio Detector
Ensure that all Detectors are sited in accordance with the survey and design details. Wherever
practical, the red LED should face the main entrance to the room.
Remove the ceiling mounting plate by turning it counter clockwise. This dis-assembles the
mounting plate from the radio module and head. The ceiling mount will now be available for
fixing to the ceiling.
Ensure that the Detector head and radio module is suitably stored so as to prevent the possibility
of accidental damage.
Fix the ceiling mounting plate to the ceiling using suitable fixings and fasteners. A minimum of
two mounting holes must be used. (See Figure 1)
It is important that fastener heads are flush or sub-flush with the internal surface of the ceiling
mount to avoid the risk of damaging the battery PCB.
