2 LearnMode Rate of Rise Heat Sensors Installation Instructions
•Do not mountthe sensorclose to devices that change
temperature rapidly,such as ovens, heatvents, furnaces,
or boilers.
Equipment needed
You will need the following equipmentto 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 sensorsignals.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 offthe 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 sensorgroup 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.

6. Exit program mode.
Testing
Before permanentlysecuring the sensor to the wall or ceiling,
test the sensor from the installation location using one ofthe
following methods.
Caution: The test method described onlytests rate-of-rise
operation.These sensors cannotbe 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 itto pop off. If this
happened,the sensor mustbe replaced.
Method 1
To test the sensor,do the following:
1. Place the panel in sensor testmode.
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 about7 to 10 seconds.
4. Listen for the appropriate number ofbeeps from interior
sirens and speakers (refer to the specific panel
documentation).
5. Exit sensor test mode.
The sensor should resetin less than one minute.
Method 2
To test the sensor,do the following:
1. Place the panel in sensor testmode.
2. Plug in a portable hair dryer.
3. Hold the hair dryer about12 to 18 in. away from the
sensor,aiming itat the side of the sensor.
4. Listen for the appropriate number ofbeeps from interior
sirens and speakers (refer to the specific panel
documentation).
5. Exit sensor test mode.
The sensor should resetin less than one minute.
Mounting the sensor
To secure the sensor to its permanentlocation,do the
following:
1. Locate the base mounting holes (inner pairand outer pair)
and mountthe base to the wall or ceiling with the
appropriate hardware (Figure 3).
2. Attach the sensorto the base.
