About this Document

This document describes how to install, program and test
the Universal Fire Transmitter (UFT).
Product Summary
The Universal Fire Transmitter is a supervised, battery
powered transmitter designed to be connected to externally
wired fire detection equipment. The transmitter reports sig-
nals from the fire detection equipment to the panel via wire-
less signals.
The UFT sends supervision transitions to the panel approxi-
mately every 64 minutes. An 4.7k Ohm end-of-line resistor
must be installed between the UFT and the fire detection
equipment for proper supervision of the UFT.
The UFT is equipped with a cover tamper and a reed switch
designed to provide wall tamper protection.
Note
The 3.6-volt lithium battery cannot be replaced by
installers or users. If you receive a low battery report, you
must return the sensor to Interlogix for replacement.
Tools Needed
#6 flathead screws or 18-gauge brads
Screwdriver or brad driver
Small wire cutters
5/8" drill bit
13/16" drill bit (if mounted flush to a wall in a box)
Tape measure or ruler
pencil, pen or piece of chalk
Installation
The Universal Fire Transmitter can be installed on a wall or
in a non-metallic electrical box.
General Sensor Installation Guidelines
Keep all sensors within 200-300 feet of the nearest
transceiver module.
Mount sensors with screws or brads, not double-stick
tape.
Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor to avoid
damaging them.
Use spacers (not included) to keep sensors and magnets
away from metal or metallic surfaces such as foil wall-
paper.
Avoid mounting sensors in areas with a large quantity

Installation Instructions

of metal or electrical wiring, such as a furnace or utility
room.
Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they will be
exposed to moisture.
Avoid mounting sensors in locations where the operat-
ing temperature (10° to 120° F) will be exceeded.

Do not remove the jumper from the sensor circuit
board! The sensor cannot work without the jumper.
Determine a suitable location for the UFT.
Mark where the magnet will be installed.
Drill a 3/4" diameter hole 3/4" deep into the wall.
Push the magnet into the hole, magnet side first.
Remove the UFT cover by squeezing the cover ends
firmly to release the tab on the cover from the slot on
the UFT base.
Remove the circuit board from the UFT base by pulling
back the plastic tab and lifting the battery to release the
circuit board.
Mark where the UFT will be installed over the magnet.
See Figure 1 for acceptable magnet locations for a wall
mounted UFT.
Figure 1. Acceptable magnet locations for a wall
mounted UFT.
Verify the UFT reed switch is properly aligned with the
installed magnet.
Mount the UFT base with screws or brads. Use spacers
to compensate for metal surfaces or height variations.
