TAMPER-RESISTANT FEATURE
The  5193SD/SDT  detector  includes  a  tamper-resistant  feature  that  prevents 
removal from the mounting base without the use of a tool. To engage the tam-
per-resistant feature, cut the small plastic tab located on the mounting base 
(Figure 2), and then install the detector. To remove the detector from the base 
once it has been made tamper resistant, use a small screwdriver to depress the 
square tamper release tab, located on the skirt of the mounting base, and turn 
the detector counterclockwise.

INSTALLATION
Remove power from alarm control unit or initiating device circuits before in-
stalling detectors.
NOTE:
 To install units so that corresponding LEDs are lined up, refer to the 
“Green LED” indicator on the base.
1.  Wire the mounting base screw terminals per Figure 3.
2. Place detector on the base and rotate clockwise. The detector will drop 
into the base and lock into place with a “click”.
3. After all detectors have been installed, apply power to the alarm control 
unit or initiating device circuits.
4.  Test each detector as described in 
Testing.
5.  Reset all the detectors at the system control panel.
6.  Notify the proper authorities that the system is in operation.
TESTING
Detectors must be tested after installation and following maintenance. 
NOTE:
 Before testing, notify the proper authorities that maintenance is being 
performed and the system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone 
or system undergoing maintenance to prevent any unwanted alarms.
Ensure  proper  wiring  and  power  is  applied. 
After  power  up,  allow  50 
seconds for the detector to stabilize before testing.

1. An opening for the recessed test switch is located on the detector hous-
ing (See Figure 4).
2. Insert  a  small  screwdriver  or  allen  wrench  (0.18˝  max.)  into  the  test 
switch opening; push and hold.
3. If  the  detector  is  within  the  listed  sensitivity  limits,  the  detector’s  red 
LED should light within five seconds. An alarm should be annunciated at 
the system’s control or console within 5 seconds. 
B.  Smoke Entry Test
 Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be used for 
smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol 
smoke products are the Smoke Detector Tester model 25S available from 
Home  Safeguard  Industries  and  Chekkit  Smoke  Detector  Tester  mod-
els CHEK02 and CHEK06 available from  SDi. When  used properly,  the 
canned  smoke  agent  will  cause  the  smoke  detector  to  go  into  alarm. 
WIRING INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, 
applicable  state  and  local  codes, and  any special  requirements  of  the  local 
Authority Having Jurisdiction. 
Proper wire gauges should be used. The conductors used to connect smoke 
detectors to the alarm  control panel and accessory devices should be  color-
coded  to  reduce  the  likelihood  of  wiring  errors.  Improper  connections  can 
prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
The screw terminals in the mounting base will accept 14–22 gauge wire. For 
best system performance, all wiring should be installed in separate grounded 
conduit; do not mix fire alarm system wiring in the same conduit as any other 
electrical wiring.  Twisted pair  may be used to provide additional  protection 
against extraneous electrical interference.
Wire connections are made by stripping approximately 
1
/4-inch of insulation 
from the end of the feed wire, inserting it into the proper base terminal, and 
tightening the screw to secure the wire in place.
