Description
The TX-6212-03-1 is a LearnMode wireless smoke detector
designed for use in a security system with a compatible control
panel. The detector is designed to comply with
EN14604:2005/AC:2008.
The detector has a status LED (Figure 1, item 1), a Silence/Test
button (Figure 1, item 2), and a built-in sounder for alarm
indication.
The status LED flashes every eight seconds to indicate normal
status (no alarm). When smoke is detected, the status LED
changes from flashing to on, the built-in sounder is activated, and
an alarm signal is sent to the control panel.
The detector sends a supervisory signal to the control panel every
64 minutes to confirm its status.
The detector also includes the following features:
•
A tamper switch that triggers a tamper signal transmission
when the detector is removed from its mounting base
•
Self-diagnostics to monitor detector sensitivity and
operational status
•
A replaceable optical chamber for easy maintenance
Installation
Caution:
Refer to your control panel documentation for detailed
information on the corresponding communications, configuration,
and test requirements.
Where to install a smoke detector
Regulations for smoke detector installation vary from region to
region. For more information, contact your fire service or local
authority having jurisdiction.
In addition to local regulations, use the following installation
guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of
false alarms from the detector:
•
Install ceiling-mounted detectors in the center of a room or
hallway at least 10 cm (4 in.) from any walls or partitions.
•
Install wall-mounted detectors so that the top of the detector
is 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in.) below the ceiling.
•
Install all detectors within 30 m (98 ft) of the control panel
•
Install detectors away from air conditioners, fans, and any
other devices that may interfere with smoke entering the
detector.
•
Install detectors on a firm permanent surface away from
large metallic objects.
•
Ensure that the environmental conditions (temperature,
relative humidity) comply with those indicated in the technical
specifications.
Verify communication
Communication between the detector and the control panel
should be verified prior to installation.
To verify communication:
1. Put the control panel into the corresponding test mode.
2. From the proposed installation location, press and hold the
detector Silence/Test button for four seconds, and then
release it. After a short delay the status LED is activated (on)
and the detector transmits a test alarm signal to the control
panel.
3. Check that the signal is received by the control panel and
that the signal strength is adequate. If not, relocate the
detector and perform the test again.
4. When adequate communication is confirmed, exit the test
mode.
Installation
To install the detector:
1. Remove the detector from the mounting base by turning the
detector counterclockwise about 15 degrees (Figure 2).
2. Slide the battery cover (Figure 3, item 1) away from the
detector to unsnap it and lift it off. Insert two 3V lithium
CR123A batteries observing the correct polarity (as indicated
in the battery compartment).
Note: the detector cannot be attached correctly to the
mounting base if the batteries are not installed.
3. Remove the red plastic cover from the detector. The detector
is shipped with the cover for protection against dust on
construction sites.
4. Using the two screws and anchors provided, mount the base
in the required location.
5. To attach the detector to the mounting base, line up the
alignment tab on the detector (Figure 4, item 1) with the
alignment arrow on the mounting base (Figure 4, item 2) and
insert the detector into the base and turn clockwise
approximately 15 degrees. The detector should snap firmly
into place.
6. Verify that the detector communicates with the control panel
and test the detector as described in Testing the detector, on
page 3.
