INSTALLATION

i) Preferably, the detector should be mounted such that the face is tilted downwards
to prevent water collection and lessen the settlement of particle deposits on the
window.
The detector mounting bracket must be secured to the mounting surface with four M8 Bolts, studs
or screws at the fixing centres shown in the orientation shown in Fig. 12. A drilling template is
provided to allow optimum selection of the fixing centres. The detector is to be secured to the
bracket using the three M6 studs with nuts and locking washers provided.
The FV300 Series may be operated in any position but the mounting point must obviously be
chosen to allow sufficient clearance for adjustment of the angle and must also allow space for the
cable assembly. A clearance of 200mm, in all directions, from the fixing point will normally be
sufficient to allow the full range of adjustment. (Fig. 23 refers).
Alternatively, the detector may be secured directly to the fixing surface with three M6 bolts, studs
or screws at the fixing centres shown in Fig. 11. The surface chosen for the mounting should be
flat over the area of the bracket to ensure a stable fixing.
