Recommended spacing (see Note A): 50 ft (15.2 m)
Maximum distance from wall (see Note B): 25 ft (7.6 m)
All detectors have one normally open contact rated as follows: 3.0 A at
6 to 125 Vac, 1.0 A at 6 to 24 Vdc, 0.3 A at 125 Vdc, and 0.1 A at
250 Vdc.
Note A: Maximum detector coverage has been determined by UL to
provide detection time equal to sprinkler devices spaced at 10 ft (3 m)
intervals (100 sq ft area) on a smooth ceiling 15 ft 9 in (4.8 m) high.
Higher ceilings can adversely affect detection time. In some instances,
earlier detection may be obtained by reducing the spacing between
detectors.
Note B: Maximum distance shown is from any wall partition or ceiling
projection extending down more than 12 in (305 mm).
Installation instructions
Surface Mounting
When using exposed installation wiring, remove either or both
snapouts for wire entrance from the plate, as required (see figure).
With the side of the plate marked “FOR SURFACE MOUNTING” facing
out, fasten the plate to the surface by installing two #8 wood screws
(not supplied) or other suitable fasteners through either the inner or
outer pair of surface mounting holes in the plate.
Route the installation wiring either through the center hole in the
mounting plate when the wiring is concealed or through the openings
in the side of the plate when the wiring is exposed. Connect the wiring
to the detector.
To install the detector: Align the arrows on the mounting plate and on
the detector base, seat the detector on the plate and turn the detector
clockwise until it locks in place.
To remove the detector: Insert the tip of a screwdriver into the
rectangular slot in the side of the detector base (see applicable
mounting illustration for location of slot), lift the locking finger of the
mounting plate, and turn the detector counterclockwise until it can be
withdrawn from the plate.

WARNINGS: This device will not protect life against fire and smoke.
Where life safety is a factor, the use of smoke detectors is
recommended.
This device does not contain a built in signal.
This device will not operate without electrical power. This device does
not contain battery backup. It should be electrically supervised with
battery backup at the panel.
The rate-of-rise feature may be subject to reduced sensitivity over
time. Annual testing of the rate-of-rise operation is recommended.
Refer to the latest issue of NFPA 72 or CAN/ULC-S536 for application,
testing, inspection, and maintenance requirements. Refer to the latest
issue of NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-524-M86 and Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1, Section 32 for proper installation requirements.

Maintenance and testing
The requirements for maintenance and testing of heat detectors are
covered in the latest edition of NFPA 72, Chapter 7 (inspections, tests,
and maintenance). The standard requires that:
• For initial installation, all restorable heat detectors (rate-of-rise
feature) must be tested immediately after installation.
• For periodic testing for restorable heat detectors (rate-of-rise
feature) two or more detectors on each initiating circuit should be
tested at least yearly. Different detectors should be selected for
each test so that all detectors are tested within five years.
