Installation

NOTE: Wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and regulations.

NOTE: Verify that all detector bases are installed, that the initiating-device circuits have been tested, and that the wiring is correct. (Refer to detector base manual for testing procedure.)

WARNING

Disconnect power from initiating-device circuits before installing detectors.

1.Install detectors:

a.Place the detector into the detector base

b.Turn the detector clockwise until the detector drops into place.

c.Continue turning detector clockwise to lock it in place.

2.Tamper-Resistance: This detector includes a tamper- resistant feature that prevents removal of the detector without the use of a tool. To make the detector tamper- resistant, break off the smaller tab at the scribed line on the tamper-resistant tab, on the detector mounting bracket, then install the detector. To remove the detector from the bracket once it has been made tamper-resistant, use a pocket screwdriver, or similar tool, to depress the tamper-resistant tab located in the slot on the mounting bracket. Then, turn the detector counterclockwise until it separates from the base.

3.After all detectors have been installed, apply power to the control unit.

4.Test the detector using the magnet or the test card as described under TESTING.

5.Reset the detector at the system control panel.

6.Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.

CAUTION

Dust covers can be used to help limit dust entry to the detector, but they are not a substitute for removing the detector during building construction. Remove any dust covers before placing system in service.
