ADDRESS THE DETECTOR
Set the two on-board rotary switches to match the last two zone
number digits.
Example: On an XR550 panel,
to set the detector to
zone number 569 on
LX-Bus 500, set the left
rotary switch (TENS) to 6
and the right rotary switch
(ONES) to 9. See Figure 2.

INSTALL THE DETECTOR
The detector has a tamper-
resistant feature that prevents
removal from the mounting
base without the use of a
tool.
To engage, cut the small
plastic tab located on the
mounting base (Figure 3),
and then install the detector.
To remove the detector head,
use a small screw driver to
depress the square tamper
release tab on the skirt of the
mounting base and turn the
detector counterclockwise.

SELECT A LOCATION
Mount the Base:
The detector can be mounted to any of the following surfaces:
•
A single gang box
•
A 3.5- or 4-inch octagonal box
•
A 4-inch square box with a plaster ring
•
A ceiling using drywall fasteners
Do Not Install the Detector:
•
Where particles of combustion are normally present such as
in kitchens or garages (vehicle exhaust) or near furnaces, hot
water heaters, or gas space heaters.
•
In very cold or very hot areas.
•
In wet or excessively humid areas or next to bathrooms with
showers.
•
In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
•
Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas.
These can drive smoke away from the detector.
