GE RCR 50 Installation Instructions - Page 2

Installing the Detector All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC) and/or local codes having jurisdiction. Important: DO NOT use this device for safety interlock applications. To install the detector: 1. Run the security system wiring to the detector location. 2. To remove the front cover/electronic module, remove the nameplate and loosen the screw if necessary. To remove the nameplate, insert a small screwdriver into one of the nameplate side slots and gently push in and pry up with the screwdriver. See Figure 2. Then press down on the top of the front cover with one hand, while holding the Corner-mount knockouts sides at the top of the back cover and squeezing in and pulling back with the other hand. CAUTION You must be free of all static electricity before handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a grounded, bare metal surface before touching circuit boards or wear a grounding strap. 3. If necessary, set the jumpers on the circuit board. See Setting the Jumpers. 4. Remove the appropriate wiring and mounting knockouts from the back cover. The detector can be mounted on a flat wall or in a corner. See Figure 3. 5. Pull the wires through the knockout holes and use screws to attach the base to the wall. Use screw anchors if necessary. 6. Strip 1/4 inch (6.4mm) of insulation from each wire. 7. Run each wire through the strain relief and under the appropriate screw terminals on the base and tighten the screws. See Figure 3. 8. Line up the tabs on the bottom of the cover/electronic module with the corresponding tabs on bottom of the base and snap the cover/electronic module firmly down onto the base. 9. Tighten the screw and replace the nameplate. See Figure 2. 10. Apply power. The green LED should light for approximately 25 seconds and then go out. 11. Walk test the coverage pattern as follows: - Walk throughout the intended coverage area. - Verify the detector alarms. See Understanding the LED. Note Most units walk test more accurately if the person testing waits 10 seconds between tripping the unit and walking again. This allows the detector to stabilize between trips.
