• Alightchainorropetosuspendtheunittotheceiling.

NOTE: A suspension bead chain and push mount links are provided as an attachment point to

suspend the unit.

WARNING: Failure to comply with the required material and with the mounting instructions

voids warranty.

Mounting the Enclosure

WARNING: Do not make any holes on the top of the enclosure that would allow water to enter

the enclosure.

NOTE: Do not install on an outside wall, or in the path of incoming air.

Replacing the Sensing Element Assembly (part no. 832-00045)

WARNING: e ribbon cable connecting the sensor element to the main PCB is delicate. Take

caution not to damage this cable while handling.

NOTE: e cable connector side has to be installed so it ts through the slot on the PCB.
