centers AND WIRING GUIDELINES SEE FIGURE 2 wiring must be installed in compliance with all applicable local codes any special requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction Proper gauges should be used The conductors used to connect smoke detectors control panels and accessory devices should be color coded to reduce the of wiring errors Improper connections can prevent a system from properly in the event of a fire signal wiring the wiring between interconnected detectors and modules is recommended that the wiring be no smaller than 18 AWG 0.823 mm sizes up to 12 AWG 3.31 mm may be used with the base system control panels have specifications for allowable loop resistance the control panel specifications for the total loop resistance allowed wiring the detector loops wiring connections by stripping about 3 8 10 mm of insulation from wire end use strip gauge molded in base Then slide the wire under the plate and tighten the clamping plate screw Do not loop the wire the clamping plate See Figure 3 the zone wiring of all bases in the system before installing the detec This includes checking the wiring for continuity correct polarity ground testing and performing a dielectric test base includes an area for recording the zone address and type of detec to be installed at that location This information is useful for setting the head address and for verification of the detector type required for location all detector bases have been wired and mounted and the loop wiring been checked the detector heads may be installed in the bases 2 TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM FOR 2

detector base includes a tamper resist feature that prevents removal of the without using a small screwdriver or similar tool activate this feature use needle nose pliers to break the tab on the detector as shown in Figure 4A Then install the detector remove the detector from the base once the tamper resist feature has been insert a small bladed screwdriver into the small hole on the side the base and push the plastic lever away from the detector head See 4B This allows the detector to be rotated counterclockwise for re tamper resist feature can be defeated by breaking and removing the plas lever from the base However this prevents the feature from being used 4A ACTIVATE TAMPER RESIST FEATURE LEVER TAB AT DOTTED LINE BY TOWARD CENTER OF BASE ANNUNCIATOR RA100Z remote annunciator is
