P/N 46-547 • REV H • January 2011 1 Learn Mode Rate of Rise Heat Sensors Installation Instructions Introduction This is the Learn Mode Rate-of-Rise Heat Sensors Installation Instructions. The sensors (Figure 1) combine a Chemetron heat detector and a learn mode wireless transmitter in one unit. A built-in thermostat trips the transmitter when the temperature at the sensor location reaches about 135°F (57°C) or 200°F (94°C), depending on the model installed. 135°F models 60-460-95/NX-495, 60-460-95-LB 200°F models 60-460-01-95/NX-496 Figure 1. Sensor models Since many fires grow rapidly in intensity causing a rapid temperature increase, the thermostat also trips the transmitter if the temperature rises 15°F (8°C) or more per minute. All models can be powered by one 9-volt alkaline battery that can last 12 to 18 months, or by one 9-volt lithium battery that can last up to twice as long. Note: Battery life depends on how often the sensor transmits signals, but is more dependent on the temperature of the installation environment. Alkaline batteries self-discharge more rapidly when used in high temperature environments. When the battery voltage gets low, the sensor transmits a low battery signal to the panel. The panel then activates sirens with trouble beeps to notify the customer that the sensor battery must be replaced Caution: SX-V Special panels must have software version 8.0 or later installed for correct response from the sensors. Do not install Learn Mode Rate of Rise Heat sensors if the panel an earlier software version. Contact Interlogix technical support at 888.437.3287 for assistance. Installation Use the following installation guidelines: • Heat sensors should be installed to provide property protection. Reliance should not be placed on heat detectors for life safety. Where life safety is involved, smoke sensors must also be installed. • The sensors allow for normal temperature fluctuations, however, ceiling temperatures should not exceed 100°F (37°C) when installing 135°F models, or 150°F (66°C) when installing 200°F models. • Mount the sensor in a central location of the area to be protected, either on the ceiling or on a wall. • If mounting on a ceiling, the sensor must be at least 4 in. (10 cm) away from any walls. • If mounting on a wall, the top of the sensor must be within 4 to 6 in. (10 to 15 cm) of the ceiling. • The UL maximum spacing allowance of the sensor is 50 x 50 ft. (15 x 15 m). Refer to the NFPA Standard 72 for application requirements.
2 Learn Mode Rate of Rise Heat Sensors Installation Instructions • Do not mount the sensor close to devices that change temperature rapidly, such as ovens, heat vents, furnaces, or boilers. Equipment needed You will need the following equipment to install the sensors: • Phillips and flathead screwdrivers • Appropriate learn mode control panel documentation (for programming information) Programming The panel must learn (program) the sensor ID code in order to respond to sensor signals. For complete programming information, refer to the specific control panel documentation. To add the sensor to panel memory, do the following: 1. Separate the sensor from the base by twisting the sensor counter-clockwise and pulling the sensor off the base. Set the base aside. 2. Place the panel in program mode. 3. Proceed to the Learn Sensors menu. When the panel prompts you for a sensor group number, enter the group number (26). 4. Select the desired sensor number. 5. When the panel prompts you to trip the sensor, press and hold the learn switch on the sensor (Figure 2) until the panel beeps, indicating successful programming. Figure 2. Learn switch 6. Exit program mode. Testing Before permanently securing the sensor to the wall or ceiling, test the sensor from the installation location using one of the following methods. Caution: The test method described only tests rate-of-rise operation. These sensors cannot be field tested for their fixed temperature ratings without being destroyed. When used with care, the heat from a portable hair dryer (method 2) can be used for testing. Do not aim the hair dryer directly at the round disc on the sensor as this can cause it to pop off. If this happened, the sensor must be replaced. Method 1 To test the sensor, do the following: 1. Place the panel in sensor test mode. 2. Rub your hands together vigorously, until they feel hot. 3. Place the palm of one hand on the round disc of the sensor, for about 7 to 10 seconds. 4. Listen for the appropriate number of beeps from interior sirens and speakers (refer to the specific panel documentation). 5. Exit sensor test mode. The sensor should reset in less than one minute. Method 2 To test the sensor, do the following: 1. Place the panel in sensor test mode. 2. Plug in a portable hair dryer. 3. Hold the hair dryer about 12 to 18 in. away from the sensor, aiming it at the side of the sensor. 4. Listen for the appropriate number of beeps from interior sirens and speakers (refer to the specific panel documentation). 5. Exit sensor test mode. The sensor should reset in less than one minute. Mounting the sensor To secure the sensor to its permanent location, do the following: 1. Locate the base mounting holes (inner pair and outer pair) and mount the base to the wall or ceiling with the appropriate hardware (Figure 3). 2. Attach the sensor to the base.
Learn Mode Rate of Rise Heat Sensors Installation Instructions 3 Figure 3. Mounting holes Replacing the batteries When the sensor battery gets low, the sensor transmits a low battery signal. The panel receives this signal and sounds trouble beeps through the system sirens. Pressing the Status button identifies the sensor with the low battery. Replace the battery immediately when this condition occurs, using the following batteries: Eveready© 9-Volt Alkaline Energizer (No. 522); Duracell© 9-Volt Alkaline (MN1604); or UltraLife© 9-Volt Lithium. Battery disposal Alkaline and lithium batteries that are not longer usable are considered hazardous waste. Be sure to properly dispose of the old batteries according to your local hazardous waste disposal laws.
