MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

First, determine the best location for the smoke detector, a location that provides strong

wireless transmission paths and proper smoke detection. A GOOD TRANSMISSION PATH

MUST BE ESTABLISHED FROM THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION BEFORE

PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE DETECTOR. To check, perform the test described in the

See the Programming section for the steps to follow.

3. Turn the detector immediately after completing the installation and refer to the control

system's instructions for additional information concerning the use of wireless smoke

detectors.

Tamper protection

This detector has a built-in tamper switch that will cause a CHECK signal to be displayed at

the console of the detector if it is removed from its installation bracket. The mounting bracket

can also be made tamer-proof by breaking off the smaller tab at the scribed line, thus

preventing removal of the detector without a tool. To remove the detector, use a small

screwdriver to depress the tamer-proof tab and turn the detector counter-clockwise.

Testing

Note: Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector system is

undergoing maintenance and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the zone or system

undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.

Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance. The 5808

may be tested as follows:

A. Test switch

1. A recessed test switch is located on the detector housing

2. Push and hold the recessed test switch with a 0.1" maximum diameter tool (an

alien wrench or small screwdriver)

B. Test module (Model No. MOD400R)

The MOD400R test module can be used with a DMM or analog voltmeter to check the

detector sensitivity as described in the test module's manual.

TESTING TRANSMITTER SIGNAL section of this

manual. To mount the detector:

1. Once a suitable location has been determined,

install the mounting bracket on the ceiling or on the

wall (if local ordinances permit). Use the two screws

and anchors provided.

2. Prior to mounting the detector to the mounting

bracket, the system must "enroll" the detector's ID.
