Note:
To ensure proper installation of the detector head
into the base, check that the wires are properly
dressed at installation.
a.Position all wires flat against the base.
b.Take up all slack in the outlet box.
c. Route wires away from connector terminals.
INSTALLATION OF DETECTOR HEAD
1. Align notch in detector cover to raised surface on
outer ring of base (See Figure 3).
2. Push detector head
into base and rotate
clockwise to make
electrical connections.
The detector auto-
matically stops and
locks into place.
3. To remove, push
detector head up into
the base while rotating
the detector head
counterclockwise. Continue to rotate counter-
clockwise
until stop is reached. Then pull
downward to disengage from base.
PROGRAMMING
Each detector on a loop must be programmed to
respond to a unique system address.
1.
To program the detector address, use the
SIEMENS
Model FPI-32 Programmer/Tester. Refer to the
FPI-32 OPERATIONS MANUAL,
P/N 315-090077.
2.
Record the loop and device number (system ad-
dress) for the detector on the detector label.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
XL3 Systems
The sensitivity of each detector can be adjusted from
the System XL3 Control Panel. Refer to the
SYSTEM
XL3 OPERATION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL,
P/N 315-083206.
MXL/MXL-IQ Control Panels
The sensitivity of each detector can be adjusted from
the MXL/MXL-IQ Control Panel. Refer to the
MXL
OPERATION, INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL,
P/N 315-092036, or the
MXL-IQ OPERATION,
INSTALLATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL,
P/N
315-093624, as applicable.
ICON-1 Modules (in IXL Systems)
The sensitivities of detectors on an ICON-1 module are
set from the IXL Control Panel. Refer to
ICON-1
Instructions,
P/N 315-093087, as well as the
IXL
Programming Manual,
P/N 315-092394, for additional
information.
TESTING AND SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENTS
XL3 Systems
Only qualified service personnel should test. Refer to
the
SYSTEM XL3 OPERATION, INSTALLATION,
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL,
P/N 315-083206.
Test as frequently as required by the
Installation and
Test Guidelines
of NFPA 72. Obtain detector sensitivity
measurements from the System XL3 Control Panel.
Refer to the System XL3 Manual for further information.
The detector sensitivity indicated by the System XL3
Control Panel should fall within the range on the detector
nameplate label. If not, refer to
DETECTOR CLEANING
on page 4.
MXL/MXL-IQ Control Panels
Only qualified service personnel should test. Refer to
the
MXL OPERATION, INSTALLATION, AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL,
P/N 315-092036, or the
MXL-IQ OPERATION, INSTALLATION, AND MAIN-
TENANCE MANUAL,
P/N 315-093624, as applicable.
Test as frequently as required by the
Installation and
Test Guidelines of NFPA 72.
Obtain detector sensitivity
measurements from the MXL/MXL-IQ Control Panel.
Refer to the MXL/MXL-IQ Manual for further
information. The detector sensitivity indicated by the
MXL/MXL-IQ Control Panel should fall within the range
on the detector nameplate label. If not, refer to
DETECTOR CLEANING
on page 4.
ICON-1 Modules (in IXL Systems)
Only qualified service personnel should test. Refer to
the IXL Manuals, P/Ns 315-092394 and 315-092371,
as well as the ICON-1 Instructions, P/N 315-093087,
for information. Test as required by the
Installation and
Test Guidelines of NFPA 72.
Obtain detector sensitivity
measurements from the IXL Control Panel. The
detector sensitivity indicated by the IXL Control Panel
should fall within the range on the detector nameplate
label. If not, refer to
DETECTOR CLEANING
on page 4.
Note:
To test for GO/NO GO operation, use
SIEMENS
Test Gas, P/N 315-282747, and follow the
instructions on the label.
