Procedure for installing
Note:
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes and the
Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease
system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before installing detectors.
1. Pass the field wiring through the rear center cable opening in the mounting base. Install the base to the electrical
box with screws via the base mounting holes. Connect the field wiring to the base terminals, as detailed in Figure 9.
Do not use looped wire under terminals (See Figure 10).
2. Install the detector into the mounting base,
making sure the wiring does not obstruct mounting of the detector head.
Push the detector into the mounting base while turning it clockwise until the detector locks into place. Use a small
hexagonal wrench to set the tamper resist feature (if required), see Figure 11.
3. After the detector has been installed, snap on the supplied plastic dust cover onto the detector to keep out dust during
construction.
4. Test the detector(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.
After commissioning has been completed remove and discard the dust cover.
! CAUTION
Smoke and heat detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
! CAUTION
Notes:
•
If the dust cover is not used while construction work is being completed exposure to a slightly dusty
environment, can cause unwanted alarms after the commissioning the detectors.
•
In the event of an unwanted alarm after commissioning clean the detector and re-install.
•
If the detector still produces unwanted alarms replace the detector.
