General guidelines
Follow these general guidelines to ensure correct placement, connection, and
configuration of your product.
Table 2: Installation guidelines
DO
DO ensure that the power and signal cables
are correctly connected before powering up.
Incorrect connections may damage the
module.
DO ensure that an appropriate cable is used
for interconnection.
DO ensure that all screws for wiring
connections are firmly tightened.
DO place sampling points so that the detector
module is able to detect smoke at the earliest
opportunity.
DO ensure that the detector module exhaust
is not impeded and is in an area with the
same atmospheric pressure as the sample
pipes (either by placing the detector module
physically in the protected area or by leading
a pipe from the detector module exhaust to
the protected area).
DO ensure that the ambient conditions
(humidity, temperature) of the protected area
are suitable for the module.
DO set the appropriate ClassiFire alarm factor
for the area to be protected.
DO set the appropriate alarm level for the
area to be protected.
DO set the appropriate fan speed for the area
to be protected.
DO set the module addresses correctly to
avoid duplicate addresses.
DO ensure that the display and detector
modules are secured to the backplane.
DO ensure that all front covers are secured to
the modules.
ModuLaser Modular Aspirating Smoke Detector Installation Manual
DON'T
DON'T drop the detector or display modules.
DON'T install detector and display modules in
damp or exposed areas.
DON'T remove or connect PCBs when the
module is powered up.
DON'T reuse dust filter cartridges once they
are removed.
DON'T attempt to adjust or alter detector
settings other than via the user-programmable
functions.
DON'T place the modules close to any
equipment that may generate high radio
frequency levels (such as radio alarms) or
units generating high levels of electrical
energy (such as large electric motors or
generators).
DON'T install the module in hard to reach
areas or so close to other equipment that
access and maintenance of the module is
difficult.
DON'T use excessive force when fitting
sampling pipes (this may damage the detector
module).
DON'T overtighten the mounting screws.
