Preparations for Installation
Installation should comply with NFPA 72E or local regulations, as applicable
to flame detectors. The detectors can be installed with the use of general-
purpose common tools and equipment.
1
Verify the appropriate purchase order. Record the Part Number
(P/N and the Serial Number) of the detectors and the installation
date in the appropriate logbook.
2
Open the container package prior to detector installation and
visually inspect the detector.
3
Verify that all components required for the detector installation
are readily available before commencing the installation. If the
installation is not completed in a single session, secure, and seal
detectors and conduits.
4
For wiring, use color-coded conductors or suitable wire markings
or labels.

The selection of wire gauge should be based on the number of
detectors used on the same line and the distance from the control
unit, in compliance with specifications.

Conduit Installation
The detector can be mounted directly on the wall through 7mm hole (Figure
6, Item 7) or preferably with the optional tilt mount, Model 787640 (Figure

The tilt mount enables the detector to be rotated up to 60 degrees in all
directions.
