Chapter 2: Installation and configuration
8 LaserSense Nano Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook
Introduction
This chapter provides information necessary to install the Nano detector system.
Installation consists of the following steps:
1. Unpack the shipping carton. Ensure that the package contains product
literature, one ferrite ring, and the detector.
2. Determine the optimum location for the detector.
3. Mount the detector into the selected location.
4. Connect the detector to the sampling pipe network.
Installation should only be done by factory-trained technicians.
Installation should be in accordance with applicable installation requirements.
These include:
• NFPA-70, National Electrical Code
• NFPA-72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
• CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1
• CAN/ULC-S524 Installation of Fire Alarm Systems
• Any other local, national, or installation requirements or standards.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. All connections should be made with the
power turned off.
Antistatic precautions
This system contains static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits.
Caution: When handling any electric components or printed circuit boards,
antistatic precautions must be followed. Failure to do so may result in component
damage.
Static discharge can be reduced by adhering to the following guidelines:
• Always use conductive or antistatic containers for transportation and storage,
if returning any item.
• Wear a wrist strap while handling devices and ensure that a good ground is
maintained throughout the installation process.
• Never subject a static sensitive device to sliding movement over an
ungrounded surface and avoid any direct contact with the pins or
connections.
• Avoid placing sensitive devices onto plastic or vinyl surfaces.
• Minimize the handling of sensitive devices and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
