Before Installing 

The heat detector must be installed in compliance with 
the control panel manual and meet the requirements of 
NFPA.

WARNING 

TO PREVENT DETECTOR CONTAMINATION AND 
SUBSEQUENT WARRANTY CANCELLATION, THE HEAT 
DETECTOR MUST REMAIN COVERED UNTIL THE AREA 
IS CLEAN AND DUST FREE. 

INSTALLING THE BASE 

1. The detector must be installed in compliance with the 

control panel manual and meet the requirements of 
NFPA 72. 

1. To insure proper installation of the detector head to the 

base, all the wires should be properly addressed at 
installation: 
(A) Position all the wires flat against terminals. 
(B) Fasten the wires away from connector terminals. 

2. If you use a jumper wire to connect the poles of 

terminal 2 and 5 when testing the detector loop 
continuity, be sure to remove the jumper wire prior to 
the installation of the detector head. 

3. The end-of-line device shown in fig. 1(a) and 1(b) 

should be compatible with the control unit. The 

end-of-line supervisory relay used should be rated for 
the DC power voltage used. 

4. Open area heat detectors are intended for mounting 

on a ceiling or a wall in accordance with the fire 
standard in your country. 

5. The base of the heat detector can be mounted directly 

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

 

INSTALLING THE HEAD 

1. Align the components as shown in Figure 2. 
2. Mate the detector head onto the base and twist 

clockwise to secure it. 

3. 

The maximum numbers of heat detector allowed to 
connected to each initiating device circuit of the control 
unit are 30 units.

TESTING 

1. 

All the alarm signal services, releasing device and 
extinguisher system should be disengaged during the 
test period and must be re-engaged immediately at the 
conclusion of testing. 

2. After energizing the detector head for approximately 

30 seconds, check to see the indicator red LED 
flashing once every 1-3 seconds. If red LED fails to 
flash, it indicates the non-functioning of the detector or 
faulty wiring. Re-check the wiring or replace the 
detector if necessary. 

3. The detector to be tested should be subject to a flow of 

warm air at a temperature of between 56

°

C and 80

°

C. 

(This requirement can be met by some domestic hair 
dryers). 
Proceed as follows: 
(1).  Switch on the warm airflow and check that 

temperature is correct and stable. 

(2). From a distance of several inches, direct the 

airflow at the guard protecting the thermistor. The 
detector should alarm within 30 seconds. 

(3).  Upon alarm immediately remove the heat source 

and check that the red LED of the detector is 
illuminated. Reset the detector from the control 
panel. 

(4). If detector fails to go into alarm mode within 30 

seconds it is too insensitive and needs to be 
returned to the distributor for servicing. 

(5). After testing, check that the system is set for 

normal operation and notify the appropriate 
authorities that the testing operation is complete 
and the system is active again.
