1. Activate the locking mechanism if the detector is to be locked into the
base. To do this, remove the small portion of plastic shown in Fig 1 with
side cutters or similar tool.
2. Partially screw two screws into the mounting box or soffit at the required
centres. Place the corresponding slots of the base over the screws and
slide the base home. Tighten up the screws.
3. Fig 1 shows the wiring terminals. The terminal marked ‘4’ on the base
is provided for con-
necting the screen
or functional earth.
4. The outside of the
base is marked with
a moulded vertical
line to indicate the
position of the LED
when the detector
has been fitted. This
facilitates detector
orientation if re-
quired.
5. When all the bases
have been fitted a
voltage test for wiring
continuity may be
carried out. The base is fitted with a continuity link which automatically
opens when a detector is fitted to the base for the first time.

These bases do not have the continuity link.
