1PURPOSE
TheG‐40detectorbaseisdesignedfortheconnectionof40modelrangedetectorsinthedetectinglinesof
conventionalcontrolpanelsor4043and4046modelrangedetectorsinthedetectinglinesofthePOLON
4000seriesaddressablecontrolpanels.
Thebasesareintendedforconnectingfiredetectionlinewiresroutedonthewallplaster(surface
mounting)orunderit(semi‐flushedmounting)–thewiresareplacedinaspecialductofmaxheightat10
mm).TheG‐40detectorbasesarededicatedfordryceilingmounting.
InordertoinstalltheG‐40baseonaceilingwheresteamcondensationoccursorwhenitismountedon
horizontalsuspensionstrands,additionalPG‐40baseindustrialfootingshouldbeused.ThePG‐40base
industrialfootingisdedicatedforconnectiontodetectionlinewires(thewireisplacedinsideaductofmax
externaldiameteratØ18mm)routedontheplaster(surfacemounting).
ItispossibletoutilisetheG‐40baseasasuspendedoneusingtheinterconnectingPG‐40baseindustrial
footingequippedwiththePG7sealingglandandthePSGWceilingsuspendedbase.Thesuspendedpartof
thebaseshouldbemountedona4‐cordcableof2x2x0.8size.BoththePG7sealingglandandthePSGW
ceilingsuspendedbasearenotstandardequipmentofthebaseandshouldbeorderedseparately.
InthecaseoftheG‐40baseinstallationinplaceswhereriskitcanbeendangeredbyamechanicaldamage
(i.e.sportshall–ballstrike,lowrooms–hitwithaladder)itisrecommendedtousethespecialOZ‐40
protectioncover.
Additionally,itispossibletofixtheP‐40specialmaskingring,orderedseparately,inordertomaskthebase
visiblepart.
Note:
IftheG‐40baseinmountedinthePG‐40industrialfooting,theP‐40maskingringisnotapplicable.

5INSTALLATION

5.1Initialinstallation
ThePG‐40baseindustrialfootingshouldbemountedontheceilingwithtwoscrewsplacedinextension
anchorbolts(Ø6mmboltsarerecommended).Itisadvisedtodrilltheanchorboltholesusingapattern
with127mmholespacing.Improperholespacingmayresultinthebaseindustrialfootingdeformation
whenthescrewsarestronglytightened.
ThePG‐40baseindustrialfootingcanbeinstalledonahorizontalsteelstring(Ø8mmdiameter
recommended)usingclampingbands.

IK-E287-001GB 8
ThePG‐40suspendedversionisinstalledwithahelpofthePG7sealinggland‐Ø13mmdiameterhole
shouldbedrilledinthedetectorbodywhereacableofmaxØ7diameterisplacedto.ThePSGWceiling
suspendedbaseistobeusedforceilingmounting.

5.2Baseinstallation
TheG‐40baseinstallationmethodmustcomplywiththetypeofthebasiswherethedetectoristobe
mounted:
‐inthecaseofbrickorconcreteceilingsitisenoughtoattachthebasewithtwoscrewsand
expansionanchorbolts(Ø6mmboltsarerecommended
‐inthecaseofplasterboarditisforbiddentofastenthebasedirectlytotheplasterboardwith
screws;itisrecommendedtousespecialboltsintendedforplasterboard
‐inthecaseofsuspendedceilingitcanbenecessarytouseadditionalwashersofappropriate
diameter
‐thebaseistobejoinedwiththePG‐40baseindustrialfootingusinglatches.
Itisadvisedtodrilltheexpansionanchorboltholesusingapatternof63mmholespacing.Improperhole
spacingmayresultinthebaseindustrialfootingdeformationwhenthescrewsarestronglytightened.
Forwireconnectionaflatscrewdriver(maxedgewidthat3.5mm)useisrecommended,itshouldbe
pushed(seeFig.9)intotheproperconnectorhole.Thenthewireclosertotheceilingshouldbeplacedinto
theholeandthescrewdrivershouldbetakenoff.Itisadvisedtouseashort,bendedWAGOtypescrew
driver(3.5x0.5mm,cat.No.210‐258)thatisavailableforpurchaseatPOLON‐ALFA).Thewirefixingplaces
aremarkedontheconnectorbody.Wiresscreensshouldbeinsertedintotheadditionalconnector(the
jointtobeclampedwithfingers);thentheconnectorshouldbeplacedbetweentherailsinsidethe
rectangularhollowofthebase.

5.3.TheOZ‐40protectioncoverinstallation
TheOZ‐40protectioncoverismountedontheceilingwithtwoscrewsandexpansionanchorbolt(Ø8mm
boltsrecommended).Theboltholespacingshouldbeat124±4mm.Thebaseshouldbefixedtothecover
withtwoM4nuts.Whenthedetectorisinstalledinthebase,thegratingshouldbefastenedwiththreeM4
x10nuts.

6MAINTENANCE
Thebaseanditsindustrialfootingrequirenoservicingafterinstallationsincetheybotharemonitoredby
thefirealarmcontrolpanel.Periodicalinspectionsofbasesandindustrialfootingsarecarriedout
simultaneouslywithperiodicaldetectors’maintenance.

7STORAGE
TheG‐40detectorbasesandPG‐40baseindustrialfootingsshouldbestoredinclosedroomsatambient
temperaturebetween0oCto+40oCandrelativehumiditybetween40%and80%,(freeofcausticgases
andvapours).Detectorbasesandbaseindustrialfootingsshouldnotbeexposedtodirectsunandheating
elementsinfluence.
Thestorageperiodofthedetectorbasesandbaseindustrialfootingsintransportpackagesshouldnot
exceed24months.

8TRANSPORTATION
TheG‐40basesandPG‐40baseindustrialfootingsshouldbecarriedinclosedspacesoftransportmeansat
thetemperaturesfrom‐25oCto+70oCandrelativehumiditynotexceeding95%inproperpackagesthat
meetappropriatetransportregulations.
