Selecting the Proper Location
(LED Survey Operation)
For optimum wireless performance, install the transmitter away from large metal objects. Mounting the transmitter
on or near metal surfaces impairs performance. The 1183 Series transmitters provide a survey capability to allow
one person to confirm transmitter communication with the receiver. The 1183 transmitter PCB Red Survey LED
turns on whenever data is sent to the receiver then immediately turns off when the receiver acknowledgement is
received. The survey button is located within the battery compartment and the transmitter survey LED can be seen
near the survey button location. When the transmitter does not receive an acknowledgement from the receiver
the LED remains on for about 8 seconds to let you know communication is not established. Communication is also
faulty when the LED blinks multiple times in quick succession. Relocate the transmitter or receiver until the LED
immediately turns off indicating the transmitter and receiver are communicating properly.
Test the communication between the control panel and the detector before permanently mounting the detector as
Test the communication between the control panel and the detector before permanently mounting the detector as
follows:
1. Program the transmitter into the panel. See Programming Transmitter in the Panel. Install the battery.
Note: Survey operation requires that the detector have the mounting base installed to engage the tamper switch.
2. Hold the detector up in the location where you plan to install it.
3. Press the survey button (See Figure 2) to send data to the receiver to confirm operation.
Note: Survey operation requires that the detector have the mounting base installed to engage the tamper switch.
2. Hold the detector up in the location where you plan to install it.
3. Press the survey button (See Figure 2) to send data to the receiver to confirm operation.
General Location Guidelines
In addition to NFPA 720, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance from the detector:
In addition to NFPA 720, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance from the detector:
• Locate ceiling-mounted detectors at least 12 inches from any wall
• Locate wall-mounted detectors at least as high as the light switch and at least 6 inches from the ceiling.
• Mount the detector on a firm permanent surface
• Locate the detector in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature does not exceed 104° F (40° C)
• Locate wall-mounted detectors at least as high as the light switch and at least 6 inches from the ceiling.
• Mount the detector on a firm permanent surface
• Locate the detector in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature does not exceed 104° F (40° C)
or drop below 32° F (0° C).
• When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fastener to prevent
tile removal
• Locate in the vicinity of flame-fueled appliances, but no closer than 10 feet.
• Keep detectors away from vents and the reach of children and pets.
• Mount the detector on a firm permanent surface
• Keep detectors away from vents and the reach of children and pets.
• Mount the detector on a firm permanent surface
Installing the Detector
Note: When setting up a wireless system, it is recommended to program zones and connect the wireless
receiver before installing batteries in the transmitters.
Install the Mounting Base
Install the Mounting Base
1. Using the two screws provided,
mount the base in the location
previously surveyed for proper
communication.
Attaching and Removing the Detector
1. Using the alignment notch on the
lip of the mounting base as a guide,
align the detector with the alignment
tabs.
2. Insert the detector into the
mounting base and turn clockwise
approximately 15 degrees. It should
snap firmly into place.
To remove the detector from the mounting
base, grasp the detector and turn it
counterclockwise approximately 15 degrees.
The detector should snap off of the
mounting base. See Figure 3.
