Mounting
To open the case, remove screw and gently twist the top cover counter-clockwise and
lift it up from the bottom cover. Use a small screwdriver to remove the appropriate
knockouts for wiring. Mount the bottom cover.
To close the case, use the locating line on the bottom cover to align the tab on the top
cover. Once the top cover is engaged, twist the top cover clockwise to lock it in place.
Use screw to attach top cover to the bottom cover.
NOTE:
Since no adjustment is necessary for the circuit board, it is not recommended
that the installer remove the circuit board from the case.
Device Enrollment
The serial number located on the back of the device must be enrolled into the alarm
control panel via Installer’s Programming ([
✱
] [8] [Installer’s Code]). This procedure is
outlined for the PC4010/4020 in the control panel Installation Manual and for the
Power panels in the PC5100 Installation Manual.
WARNING: Connect only DSC Addressable Series devices to the addressable
loop connections. Connection of ANY other type of device will impair operation.
Any devices other than Addressable Series devices which require power to oper-
ate must be powered separately.
Walk Testing
Once the detector has been set up, walk test the entire area where coverage is
desired. Should the coverage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the detector to
obtain full coverage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Upon installation, the unit should be thoroughly tested to
verify proper operation. The end user should be instructed on how to perform
walk tests, and should walk test the detector weekly.
Changing the Sensitivity
AMB-500 features Fast and Slow detection modes, which are set on jumperJ1.
Jumper J1 is set at the factory for the Fast detection mode. In a normal operating
environment, this setting provides the best detection.
In certain environments where rapid air movement, heaters and other variables
present problems, use Slow detection mode to stabilize the detection.
To change the setting from Fast to Slow, take the jumper off the header.
