iv ReadySET Aspirating Smoke Detection System Installers Handbook
Safety summary
This entire manual must be read and understood before installation.
Installation precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING:
Several different sources of power can be connected to this detector.
Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. The control unit and associated
equipment may be damaged by servicing while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to
install, service, or operate this control unit until this manual is read and understood.
Cautions
System Reacceptance Test after Reprogramming: To ensure proper system
operation, this system must be retested in accordance with NFPA 72 Chapter 10 after
any programming change. Reacceptance testing is also required after any addition or
deletion of system components, and after any modification, repair, or adjustment to
system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, and system operations known to be affected by a change must
be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently
affected, at least 10% of initiating devices in a single installation that are not directly
affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper
system operation verified, in accordance with NFPA.
This system meets FM and UL 268 requirements for operation at 32 to 100°F (0 to
38°C) and at a relative humidity of 90% (noncondensing) at 90°F (32.2°C). However,
the useful life of the system’s standby batteries and the electronic components may be
adversely affected by continuous operation at these environmental limits. Therefore, it is
recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a
nominal room temperature of 60 to 80°F (15 to 27°C).
Like all solid-state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be
damaged when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is
completely immune from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will
reduce susceptibility.
This manual gives information likely to be needed for most installations, but for more
detailed information on pipe networks, please refer to the PipeCAD System Design and
Installation User Manual
.
WARNING:
The use of overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended due to
the increased susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical
Support department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
