sheet metal screws for mounting
3. Two sampling tube filters
4. One test magnet
5. Drilling template
6. Two foam gaskets
7. Four #6-self tapping mounting screws for the metal
sampling tube and optional exhaust tube extension
8. One inlet tube end plug
9. One plastic sampling tube
10. One #8 self-tapping screw for the plastic sampling tube
NOTE:
For ducts over 1

feet, longer inlet sampling tubes
must be ordered to complete the installation. They
must be the correct length for the width of the duct
where they will be installed. See Table 1 on page
3 to determine the inlet tube required for different
duct widths.
[5] Installation Sequence
[5.1] Verify Duct Air Flow Direction And Velocity
Model DH100ACDCP detectors are 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 necessary, use a velocity meter to check the
air velocity in the duct.
[5.2] Drill The Mounting Holes
Remove the paper backing from the mounting template
supplied. Affix the template to the duct at the desired
mounting location. Make sure the template lies flat and
smooth on the duct. Center punch holes A and B. Drill the
holes as indicated on the template.

Feet Wide (see Figure 2)
1. Remove the front cover.
2. Slide the plastic sampling tube into the housing bushing.
3. Align the holes in the bushing with the holes in the
sampling tube. Make sure there are 6 exposed holes on
the plastic sampling tube. Secure with the #8 self-tapping
screw into the bottom of the permanent tube (shown in
Fig. 1).
NOTE:
For ducts greater than 1
1
⁄
2
feet in width, refer to
sections [5.4.1] and [5.4.2].

[5.3] Secure The Detector Housing To The Duct
Slide the foam gaskets over the tube bushings as shown in
Figure 3. Use the two 1

long sheet metal screws to screw
the detector housing to the duct.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws.
