Installation with PA400 Sounder

The optional strobes are interconnected to the PA400 by first removing the two mounting screws from the sounder. Use a small screwdriver to punch out the skinned-over areas as indicated in Figure 2. Install the adapter plate on top of the sounder and screw the combined sounder and adapter plate to the electrical outlet box. Make sure field wiring terminals are oriented in the upward position when mounted in the outlet box. Next, slide the strobe directly into the slots in the plates. The positive solder lug may be colored red or marked with a plus sign (+). This lug must be in the slot closest to the field wiring terminals. Grasp the catch area on each end of the strobe and squeeze while applying inward force. Make sure the strobe catches fully engage the slots in the adapter plate and that no gap appears at the interface between the strobe and adapter plate.

System Sensor warrants its enclosed sounder/strobe to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no other express warranty for this sounder/strobe. No agent, representative, dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obliga tion of this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any part of the sounder/strobe which is found to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service during the three year period commencing with the date of manufacture.
