EN: Installation Sheet
Description
The TX-6010-03-1 and RF581I4 are Learn Mode wireless
smoke and heat alarms, designed for use in a security system
with a compatible control panel. Both devices comply with
EN14604:2005/AC:2008. The installation and operation
methods are the same for both devices.
The device has a Test button (Figure 1, item 1) that is
surrounded by a status LED, (Figure 1, item 2), and a built-in
sounder for alarm indication.
The status LED flashes red every 45 seconds to indicate
normal status (no alarm). When smoke or heat is detected
(as configured), the status LED changes from flashing to on
continuously, the built-in sounder is activated, and an alarm
signal is sent to the control panel.
The device sends a supervisory signal to the control panel
every 15 to 18 minutes to report its status.
The device also includes the following features:
•
A tamper switch that triggers a tamper signal transmission
when the device is removed from its mounting base
• Self-diagnostics to monitor the device's sensitivity and
operational status.
Installation
Caution: Refer to your control panel documentation for
detailed information on the corresponding communications,
configuration, and test requirements.
Where to install a smoke / heat alarm
Regulations for smoke / heat alarm installation vary from
region to region. For full details, contact your fire service or
local authority having jurisdiction.
In addition to local regulations, use the following installation
guidelines to optimise performance and reduce the chance of
false alarms from the device:
•
Install ceiling-mounted detectors in the center of a room or
hallway at least 300 mm (12 in.) from any walls or
partitions.
•
Install wall-mounted detectors so that the top of the
device's sensor is 150 to 300 mm (6 to 12 in.) below the
ceiling and above the level of any door opening.
•
Install the detector within 30 m (98 ft.) of the control panel.
•
Install the detector away from air conditioners, fans, and
any other devices that may interfere with smoke entering
the sensor.
•
Install detectors on a firm permanent surface away from
large metallic objects.
•
Ensure that the environmental conditions (temperature,
relative humidity) comply with those indicated in the
technical specifications.
Note: A supplementary Siting Guidelines document (MK304) is
available, providing additional installation guidelines, written in
conjunction with the British standard BS5839-6.

Locations to avoid
•
Very dusty or insect infested areas
•
Very humid areas
•
Directly above cooker, stove or oven
•
Directly above or adjacent to heaters / air conditioning
units
Verify communication
Communication between the device and the control panel
should be verified prior to installation.
To verify communication:
1. Put the control panel into the corresponding test mode.
2. From the proposed installation location, press and hold the
device's Test button for four seconds. After four seconds
the device begins to sound (on) and the device transmits a
test alarm signal to the control panel. The button may be
released.
3. Check that the signal is received by the control panel and
that the signal strength is adequate. If not, relocate the
device and perform the test again.
4. When adequate communication is confirmed, exit the test
mode.
Device Installation
To install the device:
1. Remove the mounting plate from the device by turning the
detector counterclockwise (Figure 2).
2. Insert a minimum of two specified batteries, whilst
observing the correct polarity, as indicated in the battery
compartment (Figure 3).
Notes
- Up to four batteries can be fitted to the device for
extended battery life.
- When operating in environments of high or low
temperatures, it is recommended to fit four batteries for
extended battery life.
- The detector cannot be attached correctly to the
mounting base if the batteries are not installed into the
correct locations. These are shown on the device label –
positions marked 1 and 2.
- Ensure batteries are not exposed to excessive heat,
such as sunshine, fire etc.
3. Using the two screws and anchors provided, mount the
base in the required location. Ensure the device is
securely fixed, to avoid risk of injury.
4. Reassemble the device by inserting the detector into the
base and turning clockwise. The detector should click
firmly into place (Figure 4).
Caution: Remove the yellow plastic cover from the
detector. The device is shipped with the cover for
protection against dust on construction sites.
5. Verify that the device communicates with the control panel
and test as described in "Testing the device" on page 3.
