A PRELIMINARYJanuary 2002Preliminary 1/22/02About this DocumentThis document describes how to install, program and test the Universal Fire Transmitter (UFT).Product SummaryThe Universal Fire Transmitter is a supervised, battery powered transmitter designed to be connected to externally wired fire detection equipment. The transmitter reports sig-nals from the fire detection equipment to the panel via wire-less signals. The UFT sends supervision transitions to the panel approxi-mately every 64 minutes. An 4.7k Ohm end-of-line resistor must be installed between the UFT and the fire detection equipment for proper supervision of the UFT.The UFT is equipped with a cover tamper and a reed switch designed to provide wall tamper protection. Note The 3.6-volt lithium battery cannot be replaced by installers or users. If you receive a low battery report, you must return the sensor to Interlogix for replacement.Tools Needed❑#6 flathead screws or 18-gauge brads❑Screwdriver or brad driver❑Small wire cutters❑5/8” drill bit❑13/16” drill bit (if mounted flush to a wall in a box)❑Tape measure or ruler❑pencil, pen or piece of chalkInstallationThe Universal Fire Transmitter can be installed on a wall or in a non-metallic electrical box.General Sensor Installation Guidelines❑Keep all sensors within 200-300 feet of the nearest transceiver module.❑Mount sensors with screws or brads, not double-stick tape.❑Place sensors at least 5 inches above the floor to avoid damaging them.❑Use spacers (not included) to keep sensors and magnets away from metal or metallic surfaces such as foil wall-paper.❑Avoid mounting sensors in areas with a large quantity of metal or electrical wiring, such as a furnace or utility room.❑Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they will be exposed to moisture.❑Avoid mounting sensors in locations where the operat-ing temperature (10° to 120° F) will be exceeded.Do not remove the jumper from the sensor circuit board! The sensor cannot work without the jumper.Install on a Wall1. Determine a suitable location for the UFT.2. Mark where the magnet will be installed.3. Drill a 3/4” diameter hole 3/4” deep into the wall.4. Push the magnet into the hole, magnet side first.5. Remove the UFT cover by squeezing the cover ends firmly to release the tab on the cover from the slot on the UFT base.6. Remove the circuit board from the UFT base by pulling back the plastic tab and lifting the battery to release the circuit board.7. Mark where the UFT will be installed over the magnet. See Figure 1 for acceptable magnet locations for a wall mounted UFT.Figure 1. Acceptable magnet locations for a wall mounted UFT.8. Verify the UFT reed switch is properly aligned with the installed magnet.9. Mount the UFT base with screws or brads. Use spacers to compensate for metal surfaces or height variations.
2Preliminary 1/22/0210. Reattach the circuit board to the UFT base11. Attach the External Switch (See “Connecting External Switch” in this manual)12. Reattach the UFT cover to the UFT base.Install in an Electrical BoxUse a 4”x4” non-metallic electrical box that is at least 1½” deep.Mounting the box on a wallIn this installation method the UFT is mounted in an electri-cal box attached to a wall. The magnet is installed in the wall and passes through the box.1. Determine a suitable location for the UFT.2. Mark where the magnet will be installed.3. Drill a 3/4” diameter hole 3/4” deep into the stud or wall.4. Mark where the box will be installed over the magnet.5. Mark the box at the location where the magnet will enter the box.6. Drill a 13/16” hole in the box at the magnet location.7. Mark where the UFT will be installed on the box.8. Verify the UFT reed switch is properly aligned with the magnet hole.9. Mount the box using screws or brads making sure to align the hole in the box with the hole in the wall or stud.10. Push the magnet, magnet side first, through the hole in the box and into the hole in the stud or wall. The top of the magnet should be flush with the side of the box.11. Mount the UFT in the box using velcro strips.12. Remove the UFT cover by squeezing the cover ends firmly to release the tab on the cover from the slot on the UFT base.13. Attach the External Switch (See “Connecting External Switch” in this manual)14. Reattach the UFT cover to the UFT base.Mounting the box in a wallIn this installation method the UFT is mounted in an electri-cal box permanently installed in a wall. The magnet is installed in the box.1. Determine a suitable location for the UFT.2. Mark the box at the location where the magnet will be installed.3. Drill a 3/4” hole in the box at the magnet location.4. Insert the magnet into the hole.5. Mark where the UFT will be installed on the box6. Verify the UFT reed switch is properly aligned with the magnet.7. Mount the box in the wall using screws or brads.8. Mount the UFT in the box using velcro strips.9. Remove the UFT cover by squeezing the cover ends firmly to release the tab on the cover from the slot on the UFT base.10. Attach the External Switch (See “Connecting External Switch” in this manual)11. Reattach the UFT cover to the UFT base.Connecting External SwitchThe normally open UFT (60-917) should be connected to a normally open external switch. Connection Guidelines❑Do not use mechanical switches.❑Do not use more than 100feet of 18-gauge, stranded or solid core wire in any wire run.❑Do not use more than 6 feet of untwisted wire in any wire run.❑Do not run wires parallel to electrical wires. If you can’t avoid a parallel wire run, keep at least 18 inches away from electrical wiring.Note If necessary, you may cross electrical wires at a 90 degree angle.Making the Connection1. Make the connection to the external fire detection device. (See your device’s instructions.)Important ! A 4.7 k Ohm EOL resistor must be installed at the fire detection device for proper supervision of the UFT.2. Feed the wire through the hole in the bottom of the UFT.3. Attach the wire to the terminal block. See Figure 2.Note It may be beneficial to feed the wire through the hole before mounting the UFT.Figure 2.
