Fixing Instructions
Introduction
This guide describes the installation procedure
of the FV400 Series of detectors and covers all

Reference Document
Refer to the FV400 Series Product Infor-
mation and Design Application guide for
information on the Technical, Mechani-
cal, Electrical and Environmental specifi-
cations.
Mounting a Detector
The location of each detector is determined at
the system design stage according to the princi-
ples detailed in the FV400 Series Product Infor-
mation and Design Application guide and marked
on the site plan.
Check that the position chosen provides:
A clear view of the area to be protected.
Easy access to install and maintain the detec-
tor and cables.
A strong, stable structure suitable to mount
the detector.
CAUTION
Do not open the detector when it is
powered; in hazardous areas or
environmentally challenging conditions.
Tilt the face of the detector downwards to pre-
vent water collection and reduce the settlement
of particle deposits on the window.
Fixing Instructions Doc. version 2
On the FV400 Series of detectors, all electrical
the rear housing of the detector. Two 20 mm
cable entries are provided.
Detectors must be securely mounted to a strong
stable structure either directly or using the
mounting bracket.
Mounting the detector directly
Fit the back-box of the detector onto the wall
by inserting the three M6 bolts, studs or
screws into the mounting holes.

Mounting the detector using the
bracket
A bracket (stainless steel) is available to mount
the detector that provides flexible adjustment to
easily position the detector to cover the pro-
tected area.
The surface chosen for the mounting should be
flat over the area of the mounting bracket to
ensure a stable fixing.
The FV400 Series of detectors can be operated
in any position but the mounting point must be
chosen to allow sufficient clearance for adjust-
