1. Description
This document provides instructions for mounting and wiring the Detector
Base PAD100-6DB and PAD100-4DB. The following detectors are compatible
with Detector Base PAD100-6DB and PAD100-4DB.

Typical of NFPA Style B SLC (S+, S-) Wiring using either the PAD100-6DB or
PAD100-4DB base (FIGURE 1). In Style A arrangement two separate
conductors would return from the last detector base to a listed compatible
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). In Style X, it is required to use PAD100-IB
(Addressable Isolator Bases) and typical field diagram is in the PAD100-IB
Installation Manual.
3. Wiring Instruction
 To ensure proper installation of the detector head to the base, wires
shall be dressed properly at the time of installation
 Using PAD100 Bases, observe the correct polarity of SLC wiring.
NOTICE:
 THE WIRING TO BE USED SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 300.3(B) OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, NFPA 70, AS WELL AS ARTICLE 210.
 THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 72.
CAUTION! Break wire runs to provide supervision for connections made to
each wire pair.
Detector Base Mounting
PAD100-6DB / PAD100-4DB should be mounted directly on the electrical box.
The PAD100-6DB mounting holes are configured for a single gang, double
gang, octagon or 4" square box. The PAD100-4DB mounting holes are
configured for a 3-1/2" octagon box. Use a box for each base and run the
power circuit to all base locations.
Use 12 to 22 AWG conductors to connect to terminals of bases. It is
recommended that the SLC conductors be color-coded to avoid wiring errors
and assist in system troubleshooting. Improper SLC connections may
prevent the system from operating normally. Disconnect power to the SLC
until the detectors are installed.
1. Wire the detector bases according to Field Wiring Diagrams.
2. Use the dip switches (SECTION 11) to set address(es) (1 - 127) for each
detector head.

NOTICE: THE DETECTORS AND THE PAD100 MODULES MUST HAVE
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS(ES).
3. To install the detector head onto the base, match the detector heads
to the base using the alignment feature and twist clockwise until the
detector heads snap into place (FIGURE 2).

4. After all detector heads, addressable bases and modules have been
installed, apply power to the FACP.
5. Test the detectors as described in the Testing Section of this manual.
NOTICE: DO NOT INSTALL DETECTOR HEADS UNTIL AREA HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY CLEANED TO REMOVE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, DUST,
ETC., AS REQUIRED BY NFPA 72.

5. Testing
Testing shall be performed periodically to determine if each detector
operates properly. Detectors will offer maximum performance when tested
in compliance with NFPA 72.
