www.acornfiresecurity.com Chapter 2 Installation and configuration Summary This chapter provides information necessary to install and configure the detector system. Caution: This product must be installed and maintained by qualified personnel adhering to all local or national installation requirements and any other applicable regulations.
The unit should not be placed in close proximity to any equipment expected to generate high levels of radio frequency signals (such as radio alarms) or units generating high levels of electrical energy (such as large electric motors or generators).

The interface is set to a single address mode, the card appears as a single address on the SLC, and the detector status is read from that address. Stratos Micra 10 Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook www.acornfiresecurity.com...
Addresses chosen for detectors do not have to be consecutive or in a given order as long as they are all different. Table 3 below provides the address table for detectors. Table 3: Address table Address Stratos Micra 10 Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook www.acornfiresecurity.com...
Removing the detector is the reverse of the installation process, leaving the pipework and wiring connections installed in the docking station (as shown in Figure 11 on page 18). See Figure 15 above. Stratos Micra 10 Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook www.acornfiresecurity.com...
Events can be viewed on a PC screen or downloaded to disk using Remote. When the detector event log is full (200 events have been logged) and a new event occurs, the oldest event in the log is deleted (first-in, first-out).
