XR2B Detector Installation/Removal Tool for use with System Sensor Low Prole Intelligent Detectors

General Description

The XR2B Detector Installation/Removal Tool is designed for use with System Sensor low prole intelligent detectors. This includes photoelectric, photoelectric with heat, ionization, and heat detectors. This installation/removal tool does not work with the laser detector. This tool permits installation and removal of detectors in elevated mounting locations up to 15 feet (4.6 meters) high when it is used with XP-4 extension poles (ordered separately).

Tool Assembly And Disassembly

The XR2B installation/removal tool consists of a head assembly and connecting tube that is used with a set of XP-4 extension poles sold separately (see Figure 1).

To assemble the tool, attach the head assembly to one of the XP-4 extension poles by sliding the small end of the top extension pole into the coupler end of the head assembly. A hole near the end of the tube on the head assembly ts over the button of the extension pole to lock the head assembly to the extension pole. The extension poles lock to each other in the same way.

To disassemble, depress the lock button until the head assembly can be disengaged from the extension poles. The extension poles can be separated from each other in the same manner.

Detector Installation

To install a System Sensor low prole intelligent detector into a low prole base:

1. Insert and rotate the detector head into the installation

and removal tool until the detector head bottoms and snaps into place.

2. Raise the tool to the ceiling until the detector head enters the mounting base and the locking ears on the detector head meet the ring inside the mounting base.

3. Rotate the tool clockwise until the locking ears enter their respective slots.

4. Continue rotating the tool until the detector is fully engaged in the base. When this happens the detector cannot be rotated any further.

5. Carefully pull the tool from the detector head.

Detector Removal

To remove a System Sensor low prole intelligent detector head from a base:

1. Raise the installation/removal tool to ceiling height, locate the tool over the detector, and push up and rotate until the tool snaps onto the detector head.

2. Rotate the tool counterclockwise until the detector disengages from the mounting base.

3. Lower the tool slowly and make certain that the detector head is disengaged completely.

4. Continue lowering the tool. When the detector head is at oor level, the detector can be removed from the tool for inspection, testing, or cleaning.

Notes:

Plug-in bases have a built-in tamper-resist feature that, if activated, must be disabled before the removal tool can be used. See the instruction sheet packed with the detector head for instructions on disabling the tamper-resist feature.

To attach the magnet to the pole:

1. Pull the connecting pin and remove the Installation/ Removal head from the pole assembly.

2. Push and hold the lock button, and remove the connecting tube from the pole.

3. Remount the other end of the connecting tube to the pole, making sure that the lock button snaps into place.

4. Slide the magnet into the slots and cover with the plastic cap.

To Test The Detector:

1. Hold the test magnet near the raised mark on the smoke detector in one of the test areas shown in Figure 3.

NOTE: If the smoke detector does not alarm after 20 sec-

onds, move the magnet to the other test area and repeat.

2. Smoke detector LEDs should light and panel should indicate alarm.

3. Push the reset button on the panel to reset the smoke detector.

4. See the smoke detector manual for additonal information.

When using the XR2B removal tool with the XP-4 extension poles, avoid any contact with overhead wiring. The wood insulators in the extension poles are not effective in all shock hazard situations.
