CAUTION

Dust covers are fitted to the detectors to help protect units during shipment and when first installed. They are not intended to
provide complete protection against contamination; therefore detectors should be removed before beginning construction, major
re-decoration or other dust producing activity. Dust covers must be removed before the system can be made operational.

TESTING
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance. However, before testing,

Notes: 8. When all the detectors have been cleaned, restore power to the circuit and test the detector as described in TESTING above.
1. Series 300 detectors are polarity conscious, and must be wired as indicated. After maintenance has been completed, notify the proper authorities that the fire system is operational.
2. Do not loop wire under terminals: break the wire run to ensure supervision of connections.
3. All wiring must conform to applicable local and national codes and regulations. WARNING
4. It is not recommended to mix 300 series detectors with other range detectors on the same detection line.
