Kidde PAT Owner's Manual

The Firex low-profile Surface Mount Pattress Model PAT is required for surface mount installation of Firex smoke alarm models GC240, I240C, PG240, PAD240. DO NOT use the

PAT with any other smoke alarm models except as specified above.

Disconnect mains power prior to starting installation.

1. Locate the most appropriate site for mounting the pattress and smoke alarm. See the User's Manual supplied with your Firex smoke alarm for detailed siting information.

NOTE: Model PAT has several mounting plate holes to fit many applications. These include holes for attaching to standard electrical boxes or direct to a ceiling or wall.

2. Determine the closest electrical cable knock-out for the site.

a. If your application requires surface mounting elec-

trical cable, mark the best raceway knock-out for your application.

b. If mounting directly to wallboard, mark the mount-

ing hole locations and drill one (1) hole at each mark.

3. Using a sharp knife, remove appropriate cable knockout. For surface mounting, use pliers to remove appropriate raceway knock-out(s).

4. Route mains power supply wires through cable knockout or through raceway knock-out.

5. For wall or ceiling siting, insert screw plugs (furnished with smoke alarm) into the drilled holes. Attach pattress to the wall or electrical box at mounting holes with two screws (furnished).

6. Fix green Earth wire from mains supply to EARTH "I" screw terminal on pattress board.

7. Fix line (or brown) wire from mains supply to AC MAINS "L" screw terminal on pattress board.

8. Fix neutral (or blue) wire from mains supply to AC MAINS "N" screw terminal on pattress board.

9. Connect cable for interconnect to AC MAINS "I" terminal on pattress board.

10. Fix smoke alarm connector wires to appropriate screw terminals on the alarm terminal block of the pattress board. Follow directions outlined in the smoke

alarm User's Manual.

11. Attach mounting plate to pattress by threading two screws (supplied with pattress) into smoke alarm mounting receptors.

12. Fix smoke alarm to mounting plate according to the Smoke Alarm User's Manual.

13. Restore mains power supply.

14. Test unit as outlined in the Smoke Alarm User's Manual to be sure it is functioning properly.

Surface Mount Pattress

Model PAT

CAUTION

The Firex low-profile Surface Mount Pattress with Relay Model PATR is required for surface mount installation of Firex smoke alarm models GC240, I240C, PG240, PAD240. DO NOT use the PATR with any other smoke alarm models except as specified above. The pattress also allows connection to an auxiliary device (horn, door closer, light, etc.) through a relay control.

Disconnect mains power prior to starting installation.

1. Locate the most appropriate site for mounting the pattress and smoke alarm. See the User's Manual supplied with your Firex smoke alarm for detailed siting information.

NOTE: Model PATR has several mounting plate holes to fit many applications. These include holes for attaching to standard electrical boxes or direct to a ceiling or wall.

2. Determine the closest electrical cable knock-out for the site.

a. If your application requires surface mounting electri-

cal cable, mark the best raceway knock-out for your application.

b. If mounting directly to wallboard, mark the mounting

hole locations and drill one (1) hole at each mark.

3. Using a sharp knife, remove appropriate cable knock-out. For surface mounting, use pliers to remove appropriate raceway knock-out(s).

4. Route mains power supply wires through cable knock-out or through raceway knock-out.

5. For wall or ceiling siting, insert screw plugs (furnished with smoke alarm) into the drilled holes. Attach pattress to the wall or electrical box at mounting holes with two screws (furnished).

6. Fix green Earth wire from mains supply to AC MAINS "E" screw terminal on pattress board.

7. Fix line (or brown) wire from mains supply to AC MAINS "L" screw terminal on pattress board.

8. Fix neutral (or blue) wire from mains supply to AC MAINS "N" screw terminal on pattress board.

9. Fix auxiliary device wires to appropriate screw terminals on RELAY screw terminals. Follow manu-

facturer’s directions for wiring auxiliary device to pattress.

NOTE: The relay contacts are non-latching. The relay can be modified to pulse the output. T o do so, cut the “JUMPER” wire on the pattress board. (See diagram above.)

10. Fix smoke alarm connector wires to appropriate screw terminals on the alarm terminal block of the pattress board.

Follow directions outlined in the smoke alarm User's Manual (enclosed).

11. Attach mounting plate to pattress by threading two screws (supplied with pattress) into smoke alarm mounting bracket

receptors. The smoke alarm can be mounted only one way.

Be sure tamper-resist tab points over pattress board as shown above.
