Installation
The conduit used for the cabling must comply with the following:
To avoid water condensation water in the detector, install the detector
with the conduits placed downward, that include drain holes.
When using the optional tilt mount, use flexible conduits for the last
portion connecting to the detector.
For installations in atmospheres as defined in group B of the NFPA 72E,
seal the conduits inlets.
When pulling the cables through the conduits, ensure that they are not
tangled or stressed. Extend the cables about 30 cm. (12 in.) beyond the
detector location to accommodate wiring after installation.
After the conductor cables have been pulled through the conduits,
perform a continuity test.
