1. Remove the four Threaded Plugs (13) from detector front.
2. Release the four Socket-Head Screws (14) that secure the detector

housing (1) to its back cover (2) using No. 5 Hex Key for M6 screw. Hold
the housing during the removal of the screws. Pull the detector housing
from its cover. The cover remains attached to the detector swivel mount.
The housing slides under the cover and remains attached to it by a
securing cable (8). Do not let cover simply drop but rather support it until it
hangs.
The terminal board (12) inside the detector cover is now revealed.

3. Remove the protective plug (6) mounted on the detector conduit inlet. Pull

the wires through the detector cover (2) and secure them firmly to the
cover using the cable-tie (16) attached to it. Use a 3/4”-14NPT or M25 x
1.5P explosion -proof conduit/electrical entry connection to assemble the
conduit/cable to the detector.

4. Connect the wires to the required terminals (12) according to the wiring

diagram. See Appendix B.

5. Connect a Grounding Cable to the Ground Terminal (7) outside the

detector cover (2). The detector must be well grounded to Earth Ground
for proper operation.

6. Verify the wiring. Improper wiring may damage the detector.
7. Check the wires for secure mechanical connection and press them neatly

against the Terminal Board (12) to prevent them from interfering while
closing the detector’s housing.

8. Dress all wires so they will not interfere with the closure of the unit.
9. Seal the conduit inlet and outlet.
10. Align the two connectors guide pins in the Housing section with the correct

openings in the housing section.

11. Carefully slide the Housing section onto the floating holes in the Female D

Connector.

12. Using the long handled Hex key, tighten the four M6 1.0PX50 screws (14).
