Do not drill into the base as this creates
metal shavings which can create
electricalhazardsanddamagethe

Testing
The frequency of inspection and testing for the Model VSR and its associated protective monitoring system shall be in accordance with applicable
NFPACodesandStandardsand/ortheauthorityhavingjurisdiction(manufacturerrecommendsquarterlyormorefrequently).
Ifprovided,theinspector’stestvalveshallalwaysbeusedfortestpurposes.Iftherearenoprovisionsfortestingtheoperationoftheowdetection
deviceonthesystem,applicationoftheVSRisnotrecommendedoradvisable.
Aminimumowof10GPM(38LPM)isrequiredtoactivatethisdevice.
Advise the person responsible for testing of the fire protection system that this system must be tested in accordance
with the testing instructions.

An uninsulated section of a single conductor should not be looped
around the terminal and serve as two separate connections. The
wiremustbesevered,therebyprovidingsupervisionofthe
connection in the event that the wire become dislodged from under
the terminal. Failure to sever the wire may render the device
inoperable risking severe property damage and loss of life.
Donotstripwirebeyond3/8"oflengthorexposeanuninsulated
conductor beyond the edge of the terminal block. When using
strandedwire,captureallstrandsundertheclampingplate.
Notes:
1. TheModelVSRhastwoswitches,onecanbeusedtooperateacentral
station,proprietaryorremotesignalingunit,whiletheothercontact
is used to operate a local audible or visual annunciator.
