Smoke Sensor 868 GEN2
Installation Instructions
4.
Attach the smoke sensor to the mounting base by lining up
the alignment tab on the smoke sensor with the alignment
arrow on the mounting base (Figure 2), then put the smoke
sensor on the base and turn it clockwise about 15 degrees.
The smoke sensor should snap into place.

5.
Make sure the system is disarmed, then put the panel into
program mode (refer to your panel documentation).
6.
Proceed to the Learn/add sensors menu (refer to your panel
documentation).
7.
When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor, activate the
smoke sensor tamper switch by separating the smoke sensor
from the mounting base.
8.
Reattach the smoke sensor to the mounting base and exit
program mode.
Verify panel communication
Before you mount the smoke sensor, you need to verify the
smoke sensor location provides good RF communication to the
panel.
To verify panel communication, refer to your panel documenta-
tion and do the following:
1.
Put the panel into sensor test mode.
2.
Take the smoke sensor to the mounting location and press
and hold the smoke sensor test button for four seconds. The
smoke sensor transmits a test signal.
3.
Listen for the appropriate response from system sirens.
4.
Exit sensor test mode.
Mounting
Mounting hardware (screws and anchors) is included with the
smoke sensor, however you may need different hardware
depending on the installation.
To mount the smoke sensor, do the following:
1.
Separate the smoke sensor from the mounting base.
2.
Place the mounting base on the mounting location surface
and mark the mounting holes.
3.
Secure the mounting base to the surface using appropriate
hardware.
4.
Attach the smoke sensor to the mounting base.

Testing
Test the smoke sensor using the following tests:
• Sensor test
• Smoke test
• Sensitivity test
Sensor test
The sensor test verifies good communication between the panel
and the smoke sensor.
To do a sensor test, refer to your panel documentation and do the
following:
1.
Put the panel into sensor test mode.
2.
Press and hold the smoke sensor test button for four
seconds. The smoke sensor transmits a test signal.
3.
Listen for appropriate response from system sirens.
4.
Close the panel cover, if applicable.
Smoke test
The smoke test verifies that the smoke sensor activates when
detecting smoke, that the transmitted signal is received by the
panel, and that the panel reports the alarm to the central moni-
toring station.
To test the smoke sensor, do the following:
1.
Contact the central monitoring station and inform them that
you are testing the system and they should not dispatch
authorities.
2.
Use Smoke! in a can (part SC008) to activate the smoke
sensor. Follow the directions on the can.
3.
Once activated, the transmitter LED turns on, the built-in
sounder emits a temporal 3 pattern, and the smoke sensor
transmits an alarm signal. The panel then processes the
alarm signal and reports the alarm condition to the central
monitoring station.
4.
Press the smoke sensor test button to stop the built-in
sounder. The smoke sensor automatically resets when
smoke is no longer present and the LED should turn off and
return to normal operation (one flash every eight seconds).
5.
Contact the central monitoring station to verify they
received the alarm report.
Be sure to alert the central monitoring station when you are
finished testing.
