Installation:
For conventional, initiating circuits or when using an addressing module, Normally Open
contacts are usually required. As this detector is Normally Closed on both sets of contacts,
connection onto an initiating input circuit should be carefully considered.
The contact configuration relative to the corresponding terminals is indicated in the following
sketch.
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the local Electrical Code using approved cable,
AWG 18 minimum. Begin electrical connections by stripping approximately 1” (2.5 cm.) from
the end of each wire. Insert the stripped end into the wire-retaining hole in the terminal bar,
wrap clockwise around the terminal screw, and tighten.
For use with Addressable/Analogue FACP’s, the detector is connected to the appropriate Data
Communication Link (DCL) by means of an addressing module, in accordance with the panel
manufacturer’s instructions relating to the connection of a Normally Closed device.
Contact Electrical Rating:
3A @ 125 VAC, 1A @ 28 VDC, 0.3A @ 125 VDC, 0.1 A @ 250 VDC
Testing:
Testing the “CR” series detector
Testing the Rate-of-Rise portion, is accomplished by applying heat from a controlled heat
source, such as a hair blow dryer, held 8-12 inches away and aimed at the detector. The
detector will respond within 6-10 seconds.
Portable test units designed specifically for this purpose are acceptable, and must bear a UL
listing mark.
Care must be taken to not allow the heat source to reach the device’s fusing temperature. If the
detector’s fusing temperature is reached and the plunger is released, the detector will be in
permanent alarm and must be replaced.
Devices using open flame are prohibited from testing heat detectors.
Testing the “CF” series detector
The Fixed Temperature Only detector,
cannot
be tested by warming the unit as permanent
opening of the contacts may result, requiring replacement of the detector.
