Procedure for installing
Note:
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes and the
Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease
system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before installing heat detectors.
1. Pass the field wiring through the rear center cable opening in the mounting base. Install the base to the
electrical box with screws via the base mounting holes. Connect the field wiring to the base terminals, as
detailed in Figure 13. Do not use looped wire under terminals (See Figure 14).
2. Using the VDOT-AD2 Address Programmer, set the desired address for each heat detector. See Annex A for
the handling.
3. Install the heat detector into the mounting base,
making sure the wiring does not obstruct mounting of the
detector head. Push the heat detector into the mounting base while turning it clockwise until the heat detector
locks into place. Use a small hexagonal wrench to set the tamper resist feature (if required), see Figure 15.
4. After the heat detector has been installed, snap on the supplied plastic dust cover onto the detector to keep out dust
during construction.
5. Apply power to the control panel to configure the detectors to the fire alarm control panel.
6. Test the heat detector(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.
After commissioning has been completed remove and discard the dust cover.
! CAUTION
Smoke and heat detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
! CAUTION
