Installing the Detector
All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC)
and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Important: DO NOT use this device for safety
interlock applications.
To install the detector:
1. Run the security system wiring to the detector location.
2. To remove the front cover/electronic module, remove the
nameplate and loosen the screw if necessary. To remove
the nameplate, insert a small screwdriver into one of the
nameplate side slots and gently push in and pry up with
the screwdriver. See Figure 2. Then press down on the
top of the front cover with one hand, while holding the
sides at the top of the back cover and squeezing in and
pulling back with the other hand.
CAUTION
You must be free of all static electricity before
handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a
grounded, bare metal surface before touching
circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.
3. If necessary, set the jumpers on the circuit board. See
Setting the Jumpers.
4. Remove the appropriate wiring and mounting knockouts
from the back cover. The detector can be mounted on a
flat wall or in a corner. See Figure 3.
5. Pull the wires through the knockout holes and use screws
to attach the base to the wall. Use screw anchors if
necessary.
6. Strip 1/4 inch (6.4mm) of insulation from each wire.
7. Run each wire through the strain relief and under the
appropriate screw terminals on the base and tighten the
screws. See Figure 3.
8. Line up the tabs on the bottom of the cover/electronic
module with the corresponding tabs on bottom of the
base and snap the cover/electronic module firmly down
onto the base.
9. Tighten the screw and replace the nameplate. See
Figure 2.
10. Apply power. The green LED should light for approxi-
mately 25 seconds and then go out.
11. Walk test the coverage pattern as follows:
– Walk throughout the intended coverage area.
– Verify the detector alarms. See Understanding the LED.
Note
Most units walk test more accurately if the person
testing waits 10 seconds between tripping the unit and
walking again. This allows the detector to stabilize
between trips.
