connected via tubing to the return air sensor that is
mounted on a bracket high on the partition between return
filter and controller location. (This sensor is shipped in a
flat--mounting location. Installation requires that this
sensor be relocated to its operating location and the tubing
to the sampling tube be connected. See “Completing
Installation of Return Air Smoke Sensor:” for details.)

Completing Installation of Return Air Smoke
Sensor:
1. Unscrew the two screws holding the Return Air
Sensor detector plate. See Fig. 63. Save the screws.
2. Remove the Return Air Sensor and its detector plate.
3. Rotate the detector plate so the sensor is facing out-
wards and the sampling tube connection is on the bot-
tom. See Fig. 64.
4. Screw the sensor and detector plate into its operating
position using screws from Step 1. Make sure the
sampling tube connection is on the bottom and the ex-
haust tube is on the top. See Fig. 64.
5. Connect the flexible tube on the sampling inlet to the
sampling tube on the basepan.
