MOUNTING

•On a 4-inch square box with or without plaster ring. Minimum depth 1.5 inches.

•On a 3.5-inch octagonal box. Minimum depth 1.5 inches.

INSTALLATION

Place the detector into the detector base. Turn the de- tector clockwise until the detector locks into place.

To use the tamper-proof feature, break the smaller tab on the scribed line in the tamper proof tab located on the detector mounting bracket. Install the detector. To re- move the detector from the base when using the tam- per-proof feature, insert the blade of a small screwdriver into the hole on the side of the base and push the plastic lever away from the detector head. This will allow the detector to be rotated counterclockwise for removal. NOTE: The decorative ring must be re- moved in order to remove the head when using the tam- per-proof feature.

The tamper-proof feature may be defeated perma- nently by breaking the plastic lever off the base.

NOTE: The number of two-wire smoke detectors which can be accommodated per zone varies with dif- ferent control panels. Consult the control panel in- struction manual to determine the capacity.

Refer to NFPA 72, Chapter 5-3, “Smoke Sensing Fire Detectors” for spacing, location of detectors and other guidelines.

TESTING

Detectors may be tested in the following ways:

•Place a test magnet against the detector as directed in the installation instructions. The detector should go into alarm within 30 seconds.

•Field metering of detector sensitivity may be performed with the aid of a voltmeter and Test Kit, MOD 400R.

For the complete procedure, refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions furnished with each detector.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning programs should be adapted to the individ- ual environment in conformance with NFPA Standard

72.We recommend at least an annual cleaning of the unit. The detector screen and cover assembly can be re- moved, revealing the sensing chamber. A vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust from the screen, cover and sensing chamber. For the complete proce- dure, refer to the Installation and Maintenance instruc- tions furnished with each detector.
