3. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911].
4. Select the zone to which you want to register the transmitter; the system initiates
Registration mode. When Save? appears on the Control System's LCD display, press .
5. After registration, press the EL‐2606's tamper switch to terminate Test mode.
6. Choose a suitable mounting location according to the guidelines in the previous section.
7. Before permanently mounting the unit, test the acoustic detector and the transmitter from
the exact mounting position. For further information on testing the acoustic detector, refer
to the following section, Testing Procedures.
8. Knock out the required mounting holes on the back cover.
9. Mount the unit to the wall using the mounting screws provided.
10. Write the number of the zone on the sticker provided and affix the sticker inside the front
cover for future reference.
11. Close the front cover making sure that it snaps shut.
Testing Procedure
The Pattern Recognition Technology™ of the EL‐2606 ignores most of the sounds that could cause a
false alarm (including glass‐break testers). In order to test the EL‐2606, you must set the unit to Test
mode. In Test mode, processing of the upper and lower frequencies is disabled. This means that the
EL‐2606 is only listening for mid‐range frequencies reproduced by the glassbreak tester. It's these
mid‐range frequencies that determine the detector's range.
In Normal mode, the tester will not activate the detector unless held directly over the
detector.
Figure B- 20: Testing the EL-2606
Test the detector using the Electronics Line GBS7 or Sentrol 5709C hand‐held tester.
1. If using the 5709C tester, set the tester to tempered glass. The 5709C tester has a different
setting for each type of glass. The tester should always be set for tempered or laminated
glass (either is correct and both have the same range) unless the installer is certain that all
the glass to be protected is plate glass.
2. Hold the tester speaker directly on top of the detector and activate the tester; the detector
generates an alarm and then enters test mode for one minute. When in test mode, the LED
on the detector flashes continuously. You can extend the test mode time by firing the tester
at the detector at least once a minute.
Each time the detector generates an alarm, it also goes into Test mode for one minute.
3. Hold the tester near the surface of the glass and aim the tester at the EL‐2606. If drapes or
blinds are present, test with the hand‐held tester behind the closed drapes or blinds.
