Cautions 

ELECTRICAL HAZARD:

 Disconnect power from equipment prior to making 

any internal adjustments. Service should only be performed by qualified 
personnel. 

FRAGILE:

 Inspect the equipment prior to installation. Do not install the 

equipment if damage is apparent. Do not attempt to disassemble this 
equipment. If damaged, return to the supplier. 

ELECTROSTATIC HAZARD:

 This is sensitive electronic equipment. Apply 

safe ant-static practices when handling this equipment. 

CIRCUIT LIMITATIONS:

 The maximum number of detectors connected to 

a single detection zone is limited by the control and indicating equipment, 
and may be limited by local regulations. 

Introduction 

SNA-360 analogue addressable photoelectric smoke detectors 
are microprocessor controlled state-of-the-art detectors suitable 
for connection to Numens 2-wire addressable fire detection 
control and indicating equipment. 

These instructions provide trained installation personnel with 
details to install and commission SNA-360 smoke detectors for 
optimum performance. 

Preparation 

Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment and tools to 
mount and connect the equipment are available, such as drills, 
mounting screws, cables and ladders. 

SNA-360 smoke detectors can be installed with the following 
bases and accessories.

Installation 

Base 

The base can be mounted directly onto an electrical junction box 
such as an octagonal (75 mm, 90 mm or 100 mm), a round 
(75 mm), or a square (100 mm) box without using any type of 
mechanical adapter. 

1. 

Feed the conductors through the middle of the base for 
termination to the base contacts. 

2. 

Mount the base on the junction box or directly onto a flat 
surface. 

3. 

Mount the base to the surface using fixing screws that are 
suitable to securely fix the base to the surface. 

Wiring 

Base terminals accept (0.4 ~ 2.5) mm

2

 conductors. 

1. 

Strip the conductor insulation to expose 5 mm of the 
conductor. 

2. 

Connect the conductors to the base terminals as shown in 
Fig. 1. 

WARNING

: Take care to ensure the insulation does not get 

clamped by the terminal contact.

Note 1: 8-terminal base required if a remote indicator is installed. 

Note 2: If a remote indicator is not installed, the polarity of the zone circuit 
wiring may be reversed. 

WARNING

: Do not short-circuit terminals 2 and 5.

  

3. 

Check the wiring for continuity, short circuits and earth faults. 

Detector

 

WARNING

: Do not install the detector head until the area is 

thoroughly cleaned of construction debris, dust, etc. 

1. 

Select the detector address and set the address as shown in 
Table 1 by adjusting the DIP switch settings located on the 
underside of the detector body. 

Note: Addresses 0, 126 and 127 cannot be used. 

2. 

Align the detector alignment mark with the short alignment 
mark in the base, as shown in Fig. 2. 

3. 

Mate the detector head onto the base and rotate it clockwise 
to secure it. The long alignment marks should be aligned.

Commissioning 

Smoke Detector

 

1. 

Ensure all the alarm signal services, releasing devices and 
extinguisher systems are disabled during the commissioning 
period. 

2. 

Connect power to the detector for approximately 1 min. 
Check that the detector is recognized and in the quiescent 
condition at the control and indicating equipment. If the 
detector is not shown or shows in fault, check the wiring for 
the correct voltage and earth leakage. Replace the detector if 
necessary. 

3. 

Allow smoke from a cotton wick or a test smoke aerosol to 
enter the detector-sensing chamber for at least 10

 

s. When 

sufficient smoke has entered the chamber, the detector will 
signal an alarm, by continuous illumination of the LED. 

4. 

Upon alarm, immediately remove the smoke source. 

5. 

Reset the detector from the control and indicating equipment. 

6. 

Check that the detector LEDs are off and the control and 
indicating returns to the quiescent condition. 

Remote Indicator (where fitted)

 

Check that the indicator illuminates at the same time as the 
detector LED. 

Final Conditions 

Ensure all the alarm signal services, releasing devices and 
extinguisher systems disabled for the commissioning are returned 
to their previous condition.
