3. Making sure that the unit is removed from its base, put the
panel in program mode/Learn Mode.
4. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the alarm/detector.
The alarm/detector is shipped with a dust cover for
protection on construction sites with dusty environments.
5. Press the test/silence button until the panel indicates that
the sensor has been enrolled.
6. Disconnect the alarm notification appliances, service
release devices, and extinguishing systems and test the
communication between the control panel and each smoke
alarm/detector before permanently mounting the alarms/
detectors as follows:
- Press the test/silence button on the alarm/detector
for 2 seconds. The alarm/detector sends a test signal
to the control panel.
- At the control panel, verify the test signal was received
and the RF signal strength is adequate. If no signal is
received or the RF signal is low, relocate the alarm/detector
and retest.
7. Using the two screws and anchors provided, mount
the base.
8. Attach the alarm/detector to the mounting base as
follows:
- Line up the raised tab on the lip of the alarm/detector
with the slot on the lip of the mounting base.
See Figure 3.
- Insert the alarm/detector into the base and turn clockwise
approximately 15 degrees. It should snap firmly into place.
9. Test the communication between the control panel
and each smoke alarm/detector as follows:
- One at a time, press the test/silence button on the
alarm/detector for 2 seconds. The alarm/detector sends a
test signal to the control panel.
- At the control panel, verify the test signal was received.
10. Test each alarm/detector (see Smoke Testing the
Alarm/Detector) and reconnect all alarm notification
appliances, service release devices, and extinguishing
systems.
Important !
The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be
verified for a complete test of the system.
Smoke Testing the Alarm/Detector
Smoke alarms/detectors should be tested in place annually
using smoke or Smoke! in a Can. Follow the instructions on
the canned smoke or use the following steps to test the
alarm/detector with smoke:
1. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the
smoke entry openings.
2. Gently direct the smoke into the alarm/detector for 20
seconds or until an alarm is indicated.
BE SURE TO PROPERLY EXTINGUISH THE SMOKE
SOURCE AFTER TESTING! The alarm/detector LED should
remain on while the built-in transmitter sends an alarm
signal to the control panel. The alarm/detector will sound a
temporal rhythm until the test/silence button is pressed.
The alarm/detector automatically resets when smoke is no
longer present.
