Operation

3.1 Installation

Installation consists of mounting the equipment, making the required electrical connections, and entering the desired set points.

CAUTION

Remove all power prior to installing the

Preamplifier.

Preamplifier Mounting

The preamplifier is a self-contained unit that is designed for mounting on a wall, or structurally sound surface, within 6 feet of the detector. The preamplifier must be located in an area that is accessible for future maintenance.

CAUTION

Remove all power prior to connecting field wiring.

Electrical Interface

Electrical connections at the preamplifier include connecting the detector high voltage and signal coaxial cables and the field cable from the associated controller.

The detector high voltage and signal cables enter the preamplifier through “Seal Grip” type penetrations on the enclosure body. The “Seal Grips” contain a rubber gland that is intended to grip the coaxial cables to prevent moisture entry into the enclosure. The “Seal Grips” are an integral part of the detector cables. The “Seal Grip” enclosure nut is removed from the fitting. The insulating washer stay with the fitting. The detector signal and high voltage cables, with connectors and “Seal Grip” fitting nuts are then inserted into the holes preamplifier enclosure. The “Seal Grip: end fittings are then re-installed securely against the wall of the enclosure.

The detector Signal (BNC) and High Voltage (SHV) cables are then terminated on the bulkhead connectors located on the enclosure inner panel.

On the 943-227-15 or 943-227-15VL, the field cable is terminated on a “MS” type connector. A mating “MS” style connector supplied with the detector. It is not necessary to open the preamplifier enclosure to complete the interconnection to the associated controller.

On the 943-227-15VL-M1, a 2.0-inch conduit hub is provided to interface with the field conduit system and cable. The field conduit is connected to the preamplifier conduit hub and the field cable is routed through the conduit and into the preamplifier enclosure. The field signal cable is then terminated on the terminal block in the enclosure. Refer to the applicable wiring diagram or Table 3-1. The high voltage coax cable is then terminated on the mating SHV connector. Refer to Appendix D for further information.

A desiccant bag is provided in the enclosure to absorb moisture. The desiccant bags should be checked for moisture absorption prior to placing into service. Each bag contains a color indicator stripe that turns red when it should be replaced.
