Use Short Range
Mask
• All installations should comply with local regulations
• For detectors approved to UL268 refer to NFPA72 for installation guidance. In such
installations, it is advised that the maximum distance of Detector and Reflector from the
ceiling must be 10% of the distance between floor and ceiling
• For installations covering less than 18m, the Short Range Mask must be used
• Position beam as high as possible, but with a minimum distance of 0.5m from Detector and
Reflector to ceiling.
• Mount Detector and Reflector directly opposite each other
• Do NOT position Detector where personnel or objects can enter the beam path
• Do NOT position 2 Detectors facing each other
• Detector LED indicator must face downward
• Do NOT install the Detector or Reflector in environments where condensation or icing are
likely to occur

• Note 1: This component is the fire resistor. Its value is specified by the Fire Control Panel
manufacturer. For U.S. installations it is typically a short circuit
• ALWAYS use a separate 2-core cable for each Detector head
• CAUTION: For system monitoring - Do not use looped wire under any terminals. Break wire
run to provide monitoring of connections
• Components not supplied:
• End Of Line ('EOL') component - supplied by Fire Control Panel manufacturer
• Fire Resistor
• After installation, check operation of Fire and Fault connection on Fire Panel
• Apply a voltage of 5V to 40V to ‘Ext Reset’ contact for at least 2 seconds to clear a latched
fire condition

6. Find Detectors
• ‘Find’ is automatically displayed the first time this process is run. ‘Find’ can also be accessed
in the System Controller settings menu. Find must be performed when adding or removing a
detector to an already ‘Found’ system.
60 seconds
This will be the number
of Detectors found
• Pressto enable ‘Found’ Detectors at any point
during 60s countdown
• Any unused Detector channels are switched off
• Pressto re-scan if number is incorrect

7. Select Power Mode
• In ‘Hi A’ mode (default), during
normal operation the system
will take 5.5mA if one Detector
is connected or 8mA if two
Detectors are connected.
During Laser targeting, Auto,
Hand and Home functions, the
system will take 36mA.
• In ‘Lo A’ mode (selected via the
System Controller settings
menu), the system will take
5.5mA or 8mA in ALL modes of
operation. The Detector will
move more slowly during Align,
Laser targeting and Home, so it
is recommended to leave the
system set to ‘Hi A’ if the
current is available.
8. Select Detector
• Select Detector to be accessed
• All Detectors need to be aligned separately
• Steps 9 to12 explain how to align individual Detectors

10. LASER Targeting
The system will signal Fault while in this mode
The LASER is used to align the Detector with the Reflector. It is an approximate alignment tool
only. After Auto-Align the LASER will not necessarily be pointing on the Reflector
• Useto move the LASER as close to the Reflector as possible
• One press of an arrow key results in one movement of the Detector head
• Pressorto turn off the LASER and return to the Settings menu
• Refer to Additional Detector Information for troubleshooting if LASER is not visible

11. ‘Auto’ Alignment
• Select ‘Auto’ to automatically align the infrared beam
• Signal Strength will be shown during Alignment
• If the LASER is turned on it will not necessarily be pointing on the Reflector after ‘Auto’ is
run - this is normal
• If ‘Auto’ ends with an error code ‘E-’, refer to troubleshooting
HiA: 2 minutes
LoA: 25 minutes

12. ‘Set’ 0/100 (Calibrate)
• When ‘Set’ is displayed presswhilst the Reflector is still uncovered
• When ‘S-00’ is displayed, cover the Reflector with a non- reflective material and leave
covered, then press
• When ‘S-01’ is displayed, uncover the Reflector and leave uncovered, then press
• Repeat Steps 8 to 12 for any other Detectors found during the ‘Find’ process
13. System is Aligned
• Green LED on Detector will flash every 10 seconds, and Signal Strength should be between
99% and 101%
• Default values: 35% Fire Threshold, 10 second delay to Fire and Fault, Non-Latching mode
10
14. Manual Fire and Fault Tests
After installation or cleaning, it is recommended that a manual Fire and Fault test is
performed:
Fire Test: Cover the Reflector slowly so that it takes longer than 5 seconds to cover. The
System Controller will signal Fire to the Fire Control Panel after the delay to fire has expired
(10s default)
Fault Test: Cover the Reflector completely within 2 seconds. The System Controller will signal
Fault back to the Fire Control Panel after the delay to fault has expired (10s default)
15. Remote Fire Test
It is possible to perform a Fire Test from the System Controller, to test the wiring to the Fire
Control Panel
NOTE: The Remote Fire Test is acceptable for Fire Authority Acceptance and Routine
Maintenance per UL268-5

19. Cleaning the System
The system will automatically compensate for dust build-up by changing the Compensation
Level.
However, it is recommended that the Detector lenses and the Reflector are cleaned
periodically with a soft lint-free cloth.
If the Compensation Level for a particular Detector remains above 130 for several days, this
indicates that cleaning should take place on that Detector.
The system should be isolated from the Fire Control Panel before cleaning takes place.
After cleaning, verify that the system is operating normally:
If the Signal Strength is between 92% and 108%
- leave the system to compensate back to 100% (this should take no more than 12 hours)
If the Signal Strength is above 108%
- reduce Compensation Level until Signal Strength is 92—108%, and wait for system to
compensate back to 100%
If the Signal Strength is below 92%
- perform LASER Targeting, Auto-Align, and Set.
