Wiring Instructions
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Na-
tional Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any spe-
cial requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires
should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease
system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent
a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before in-
stalling detectors.
All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordi-
nances, and regulations.
1. Wire the sensor base per the wiring diagram, please see
Figure 1.
2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches,
please see Figure 2.
3. Insert 5-wire connector on mounting base into 5-pin
connector on Filtrex unit. Install the detector into the
sensor base. Push the detector into the base while turn-
ing it clockwise to secure it in place. (Please see Figure
5 and INSTALLING FILTREX INTO BASE on page 4 for
specific directions.
4. After all detectors have been installed, turn on the auxil-
iary power supply, then apply power to the control unit
and activate the communication line.
5. Test the detector(s) as described in the TESTING section
of this manual.
CAUTION
Dust cover must be removed before the detector can sense
smoke.

Testing
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system
is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily be out of
service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.
All detectors must be tested after installation and periodi-
cally thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Detectors offer maximum per-
formance when tested and maintained in compliance with
NFPA 72.
The sensor can be tested in the following ways:
A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
This detector can be functionally tested with a test mag-
net. The test magnet electronically simulates smoke in
the sensing chamber, testing the detector electronics and
connections to the control panel.
1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown
in Figure 3.
2. The detector should alarm the panel. Two LEDs on
the detector are controlled by the panel to indicate
sensor status. Coded signals, transmitted from the
panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch
off. Refer to the control panel technical documenta-
tion for detector LED status operation and expected
delay to alarm.
B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator
Aerosol generators for smoke entry testing are available
from a number of third party manufacturers (e.g.,
Gemini Scientific). Following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, apply aerosol until the panel alarms.
A detector that fails any of these tests should be retested. If
