12 ReadySET Aspirating Smoke Detection System Installers Handbook
Introduction
This chapter provides information necessary to install the ReadySET detector system.
Installation consists of the following steps:
1. Unpack the shipping carton. Ensure that the package contains product literature,
one ferrite ring, and the detector.
2. Determine the optimum location for the detector.
3. Mount the detector at the selected location.
4. Connect the detector to the sampling pipe network.
Installation should only be done by factory-trained technicians in accordance with
applicable installation requirements. These include:
• NFPA 70, National Electrical Code
• NFPA 72,
National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
• Any other local, national, or installation requirements or standards.
Note: Power should be turned off during installation.
Antistatic precautions
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a proper
wrist strap before handling any circuits.
Caution:
When handling any electric components or printed circuit boards, antistatic
precautions must be followed. Failure to do so may result in component damage.
• Static discharge can be reduced by adhering to the following guidelines:
• Always use conductive or antistatic containers for transportation and storage, if
returning any item.
• Wear a wrist strap while handling devices and ensure that a good ground is
maintained throughout the installation process.
• Never subject a static sensitive device to sliding movement over an ungrounded
surface and avoid any direct contact with the pins or connections.
• Avoid placing sensitive devices onto plastic or vinyl surfaces.
• Minimize the handling of sensitive devices and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
