The EDA-R6000 Radio Combined Optical Smoke Detector and Sounder is used as part of the Zerio Plus Radio Fire Alarm System. It cannot be used with other ranges of Electro-Detectors products.
The unit is rated to IP21C and should only be used for indoor use.
To fix the base to the ceiling
The smoke detector should be fitted in an appropriate position as detailed in BS5839 Part 1. The base plate should be separated from the unit by rotating the detector anti-clockwise and pulling apart. The base should be screwed to a flat surface using 2 x No 6 screws of appropriate length for the material that the unit is being mounted on. It is recommended that the base should be used as a template for the screw holes. If the surface is not flat, the unit may buckle and cause tamper conditions, when screwed tightly to the surface. It is recommended that the units not be secured too tightly or a rigid mounting plate be fixed to the wall first. The units should not be fitted covering holes in ceilings where water could possibly drip through. Any hole should be made good prior to installing the detector. The unit should be fitted away from any metal objects or electrical items to avoid radio interference and a radio survey for the position should have been carried out prior to installation.
Adding the device to the system
Before the unit will operate on a system, it must be programmed via the control panel. To program the unit the panel must be set in the appropriate mode to add a device to the system. If a device is being added or replaced on the system then the appropriate menu option should be selected on the control panel. Please refer to the panel manual for further information. Before adding/replacing the device on the system you will need to know what unit number/address the unit is to be programmed to. The zone number, sensitivity, volume, area and text location information should also be to hand but this can be added/changed later. Some of this information is left at default.
Zone Number
The zone number is a logical way of grouping devices and is used as a way of indicating where the alarm is in a building. Careful attention to BS5839 should be exercised when allocating devices to zones and would usually be defined when the system is designed. The number of zones available depends on the type of control panel that is being installed. There are 8, 20 and 100 zone models available.
