2.2 Preparations for Installation

The installation must comply with local regulations and standards applicable to flame detectors (e.g.,
NFPA 72) and all local and common engineering practices. It is recommended to consult with a safety
engineer.
The detectors can be installed with the use of general-purpose common tools and equipment.
Prior to installation:
•
Verify the appropriate purchase order.
•
Record the part and serial numbers of the detectors and the installation date and log.
•
Visually inspect the detector prior to installation to make sure it is intact.
•
Make sure that you have all the components and tools required to complete the detector
installation readily available before beginning installation. In cases where you cannot
complete the installation in a single session, secure and seal the detectors and conduits
before leaving the site.
•
Use color-coded conductors or suitable wire markings or labels for the wiring. You may use
12 to 20 AWG (2.5 ����
should be based on the number of detectors used on the same line and the distance from
the control unit, in compliance with specifications.
•
Use wire rated for a temperature of at least 111°C, which is 5°C above the rated service
temperature.

2.3 Required Tools

The detector can be installed using general purpose common tools as defined in the following table:
