Mounting Fastening on a level substructure Fastening on a level substructure A drilling template is punched in the inner packaging of the aspirating smoke detector packaging. The punched symbol in the center of the packaging indicates the airflow direction (air inlet and air outlet). The mounting holes in the back box are not symmetrical, so use the drilling template.
Mounting Connecting the pipe system to the aspirating smoke detector 4. Screw the four screws into the mounting holes. – Do not screw in the screws as far as the stop. A gap of approx. 10 mm must remain between the screw head and the wall. 5.

Mounting Installing communication transponder FDCC221S Installing communication transponder FDCC221S Communication transponder FDCC221S may only be installed if the aspirating smoke detector is connected to FDnet/C-NET. Installation is not permitted in the case of standalone operation. Communication transponder FDCC221S has its own ID. The ID of communication transponder FDCC221S is made visible to the detector line and it replaces the ID of the aspirating smoke detector.
Page 21
Mounting Installing communication transponder FDCC221S Mounting The housing cover is open. The aspirating smoke detector's external power supply is switched off and disconnected from the aspirating smoke detector. A communication transponder FDCC221S (accessory) is available. 1. Insert communication transponder FDCC221S into the aspirating smoke detector's interface card with the two spacer bolts as shown in the diagram.
Installation Connecting the external power unit 4 Installation CAUTION Electrical voltage on lines Risk of injury due to electric shock ● During mounting and installation work, electrical voltage must not be applied to the lines. Note the positive and negative poles. Only connect one wire per terminal.

2. Check whether the aspirating smoke detector is being supplied with power. The LED lights up. 3. Start the detector line. The aspirating smoke detector is not detected as FDA241 or FDA221 by the fire control panel. If the aspirating smoke detector has not been detected correctly, refer to the fire control panel documentation for the remainder of the process.
Connection to input/output module 4.12 Connection to input/output module Aspirating smoke detectors FDA241 and FDA221 can be connected to a fire control panel via an input/output module. For fire control panels FC20xx and FC72x, the aspirating smoke detector should be connected via the communication transponder FDCC221S, see chapter 'Connecting to the detector line with the FDCC221S'.
