Step 5. Reinstall the GEM HEAT into the mounting plate.
Align the mounting screws with the mounting holes in the
base. Push down and turn clockwise until the GEM-HEAT
snaps into place.
Step 6. Map the GEM-HEAT Transmitter
Referring to the installation instructions for the control panel
and keypad in use, enter the following:
• The zone to which the transmitter will be mapped.
Note:
This zone must be programmed as a Fire Zone
as per the control panel installation instructions.
•
The 6-digit RF identification number / 1 digit checksum
number printed on the transmitter (include all numbers
and/or letters and leading zeros, if any);
•
The transmitter point number (“1”).
Step 7. Testing the system
Test system with unit mounted. If the system is monitored,
notify central station of impending test.
The rate-of-rise feature may be tested by a quick application of
heat from any convenient source. A portable hair dryer is
recommended. However, do not apply heat which exceeds the
fixed temperature rating of the detector. If the fixed
temperature is exceeded, the center disk of the detector will
drop and the detector must he replaced.
Apply the heat until the local alarm sounds. Verify that the
GEM-HEAT has triggered the correct zone and that the correct
report has been transmitted to central station. Wait a few
minutes and reset the fire circuit. Insure that the system
returns to a normal status.
