Note 1:
The inlet sampling tube must be ordered separate-
ly. It must be the correct length for the width of the
duct where it will be installed. See Table 1 to deter-
mine the inlet tube required for different duct
widths. Smoke detector heads (1551, ionization;
2551, photoelectronic) must be ordered separately.

Step 1. Verify Duct Air Flow Direction and Velocity
The DH500 is designed to be used in air handling systems
having air velocities of 500 to 4000 feet per minute. Be sure
to check engineering specifications to ensure that the air
velocity in the duct falls within these parameters. If neces-
sary, an Alnor Model 6000-P velocity meter, Dwyer 460 dif-
ferential pressure gauge, or their equivalent, may be used
to check the air velocity in the duct.

Step 2. Drill the Mounting Holes
Remove the paper backing from the top and bottom of the
template. Affix the template to the air duct at the desired
mounting location. Make sure the template lies flat and
smooth on the air duct. Center punch hole targets and
remove the template. Drill the holes as indicated on the
template. Slide the two speed nuts over the two small holes
(Hole A) next to the sampling tube bushing holes (Hole B)
previously drilled in the duct. (See Figure 2.)
Step 3. Mount Duct Housing
Remove the duct housing cover. Slide the foam gaskets over
the tube bushings as shown in Figure 2B. Make sure the
two small holes in the gaskets line up with the two base
mounting holes. Put one 5/16-inch O-ring over each of the
two #10 sheet metal screws. Use the two sheet metal screws
to secure the duct housing to the duct.
Do not overtighten the screws.
