Mounting the Detector Enclosure
Notes:
l
This equipment must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with all local and national code
requirements.
l
The detector assembly must be installed at an accessible position to facilitate maintenance and testing.
l
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to mount the detector, noting the location of air sampling pipes
and cable entry points. Owing to the rigid nature of the plastic pipe, installation must provide for sufficient
movement in all pipe work (air inlet, air exhaust and cable pipes) to allow pipe ends to be easily fitted and
removed.
l
Ensure that the exhaust pipe is free from any obstacles at all times.
l
Do not mount the detector assembly close to a heat source.
l
Mount the detector assembly in a secure location which is accessible only by authorised personnel.
Warning:
Prior to drilling the attachment holes for the mounting bracket, ensure that all mounting surfaces
(i.e. walls, cabinet sides, etc.). are clear of electrical wiring and plumbing.
Mounting Procedure:
1. Remove the transparent cover (D) by using the corner stud key (B) to unscrew the tamper-proof corner
studs (A).
2. Tape the mounting template to the mounting surface and use it to accurately mark the holes
corresponding to the four corner fixing points.
3. Drill four holes in the mounting surface.
4. Remove the mounting template.
5. Secure the detector enclosure to the mounting surface through the four corner fixing points. Use
appropriate fasteners for the type of surface that the unit is mounted on. The diameter of each mounting
hole is 5 mm. Typical No. 8 mounting hardware can be used in the mounting holes.
