Installation ease. The i3 line redefines installation ease with its
plug-in design. This allows an installer to pre-wire bases (included
with heads). The large wire entry port and in-line terminals provide
ample room for neatly routing the wiring inside the base. The base
accommodates a variety of back box mounting methods as well as
direct mounting with drywall anchors. To complete the installation, i3
heads plug into the base with a simple Stop-Drop 'N Lock" action.
Intelligence. i3 detectors offer a number of intelligent features
to simplify testing and maintenance. Drift compensation and
smoothing algorithms are standard with the i3 line to minimize
nuisance alarms. 2-wire i3 detectors can generate a remote LED-
indicated maintenance signal when connected to the 2W-MOD2
loop test/maintenance module or a panel equipped with the i
protocol. The SENS-RDR, a wireless device, displays the sensitivityof P
detectors in terms of percent-per-foot obscuration.
Instant inspection.The i3 series provides wide-angle red and
green LED indicators for instant inspection of the detector's
condition: normal standby, out-of-sensitivity, alarm, or freeze trouble.
When connected to the 2W-MOD2 loop test/maintenance module
or a panel with the i3 protocol, the EZ Walk loop test feature is
available on 2-wire j3 detectors. This feature verifies the initiating loop
wiring by providing LED status indication at each detector.
Smoke Detector Specifications
Smoke detector shall be a System Sensor i3 Series model number .listed to Underwriters Laboratories UL 268 for Fire Protection Signaling Systems. The
detector shall be a photoelectric type (Model 2W-B, 4W-B) or a combination photoelectric/thermal (Model 2WT-B, 4WT-B) with thermal sensor rated at 135°F
(57.2'C). The detector shall include a mounting base for mounting to 31/2-inch and 4-inch octagonal, single-gang, and 4-inch square back boxes with a plaster
ring, or direct mount to the ceiling using drywall anchors. Wiring connections shall be made by means of SEMS screws. The detector shall allow pre-wiring of the
base and the head shall be a plug-in type. The detector shall have a nominal sensitivity of 2.5 percent-per-foot nominal as measured in the UL smoke box. The
detector shall be capable of automatically adjusting its sensitivity by means of drift compensation and smoothing algorithms. The detector shalt provide dual-
color LED indication that blinks to indicate power up, normal standby, out of sensitivity, alarm, and freeze trouble (Model 2W1-B, 4WT-8) conditions. When used
in conjunction with the 2W-MOD2 module, 2-wire models shalt include a maintenance signal to indicate the need for maintenance at the alarm control panel
and shall provide a loop testing capability to verify the circuit without testing each detector individually.

Installation (see Fig. 1)
These devices may be mounted on horizontal or vertical pipe. On horizontal pipe they shall be installed on the top side of the pipe where they
will be accessible. The device should not be installed within 6" (15 cm) of a fitting which changes the direction of the waterfiow or Within 24"
(60 cm) of a valve or drain.
NOTE: Do not leave cover off for an extended period of time.
Drain the system and drill a hole in the pipe using a hole saw in a slow speed drill (see Fig. 1). Clean the inside pipe of all growth or other
material for a distance equal to the pipe diameter on either side of the hole. Roll the vane so that it may be inserted into the hole; do not bend
or crease it. Insert the vane so that the arrow on the saddle points in the direction of the waterfiow. Take care not to damage the non-corrosive
bushing in the saddle. The bushing should fit inside the hole in the pipe. Install the saddle strap and tighten nuts alternately to required torque
(see the chart in Fig. 1). The vane must not rub the inside of the pipe or bind in any way.
Do not trim the paddle. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent the device from operating and will void the warranty. Do not obstruct or otherwise prevent I
I the trip stem of the flow switch from moving when water flows as this could damage the flow switch and prevent an alarm. If an alarm is not desired, a qualified I I technician should disable the alarm system. I

Theory Of Operation
The PCVS is a spring loaded switch. It is in normal position when the trip rod is pulling against the spring force. Normal is when the switch is
installed on the valve and the valve is fully open. As the valve closes, the valve actuator moves away from the trip rod of the PCVS and the spring on
the PCVS pulls the trip rod over and trips the switch. -
Alternate Window Installation and Moving Hood Installation
Target Moves Up as Valve is Shut
Fig
Subject to the approval of the "authority having jurisdiction" the
alternate method of installation shown in Fig. 1 may be used. In this
method, one of the glass windows of the housing is replaced with a
1/4" thick metal plate that is cut to fit in place of the glass and drilled
and tapped to recieve 1/2" NPT pipe nipple. In some cases it may be
necessary to attach an angle bracket to the target assembly to engage
the PCVS trip rod.
Hood Moves Down as Valve Is Shut
Fig 2
If the target is stationary and a hood arrangement is used, such as
is shown in Fig. 2, the hood must be drilled with a 23/32" drill and
tapped with a 1/2" NPT. The center line of this hole should be 1/8" -
below the portion of target assembly that strikes the PCVS trip rod.
The 113/8" dimension shown is for a Clow Valve. Flexible conduit
must be used for this type of installation. (More on pg. 3).

NOTE: Before any work is done on the fire sprinkler or
fire alarm system, the building owner or their authorized
representative shall be notified. Before opening any closed
valve, ensure that opening the valve will not cause any
damage from water flow due to open or missing sprinklers,
piping, etc.
Position the valve to fully open ("OPEN" should appear in
the window of the housing). Partially close the valve while
observing the direction that the target assembly moves.
Reopen the valve. If the valve housing is predrilled with a
1/2" NPT for installation of a monitoring switch, remove the
1/2" plug and fully open the valve. Make sure that "OPEN"
appears in the window of the housing. GO TO STEP NO. 6.
If the valve is not pre-drilled for 1/2" NPT, remove the head
and target assembly (consultation with valve manufacturer is
recommended).
If the target assembly moved up as the valve was closed,
measure the distance from the bottom of the head to the
lower part of the target assembly that will contact the trip rod
of the PCVS (see Fig. 3). This is usually a plate or baron the
target assembly, on a side adjacent to the "OPEN/SHUT"
plates. Subtract 1/8" from the measurement. If the target
moved down as the valve was dosed, measure the distance
from the bottom of the head to the upper portion of the
target assembly that will contact the trip rod of the PCVS
(see Fig. 4). Add 1/8" (3,2mm) to this measurement.
Mark the housing at the proper location. Using a 23/32"
(18,2mm) drill bit, drill and then tap a 1/2" NPT in the
housing on the side that coincides with the portion of the
target assembly that will engage the trip rod of the PCVS.
Replace the head and target assembly.
Loosen the socket head screw that holds the nipple in the
PCVS and remove the nipple.
Screw the locknut that is provided onto the nipple.
Screw the nipple into the 1/2" NPT hole in the valve housing
hand tighten. Tighten the locknut against the valve housing
to secure the nipple firmly in place.
Insert a scale or probe thm the nipple to measure the distance
from the open end of the nipple to the target assembly.
Subtract 1/2" (12,5mm) from this measurement.
NOTE: In some cases, it may be necessary to attach an
angle bracket to the target assembly to engage the PCVS trip
rod.
Using the special tool provided, loosen the two cover screws
and remove the cover from the PCVS.
Loosen the locking screw that holds the trip rod in place and
adjust the rod length, from the end of the collar to the end of
the rod, using the dimension determined in Step 9. Tighten
the locking screw to 5 in-lbs minimum to hold the rod in
place and properly seal the enclosure.
Partially close the valve to move the target assembly away (3
to 4 revolutions of the handle/hand wheel). V
With the PCVS positioned so the spring will pull the trip rod
to follow the target as the valve is closing, slide the PCVS
over the nipple. Tighten the socket head screw in the collar.
Carefully open the valve to the fully open position. As the
target moves to the open position it should engage the trip
rod and actuate the switch(es). There should be a minimum
overtravel of 1/2 revolution of the handle/hand wheel after
the switch(es) actuate (a continuity meter connected to each
set of contacts is one method that could be used to determine
this).
Slowly close the valve. The switch must operate during the
first two revolutions of the handle/hand wheel or during 1/5
of the travel distance of the valve control apparatus from its
normal condition.
NOTE: Small adjustments of the target position may
be necessary (consultation with valve manufacturer is
recommended).
Complete the required electrical wiring, connections and
tests. The valve should be operated through the entire cycle
of fully closed and fully open to determine the integrity of
the PCVS installation and the signaling system. Check that
all electrical and mechanical connections are secure.
Reinstall the cover and tighten the cover screws to 15 in-lbs
minimum to properly seal the enclosure.
When the installation and testing are complete, return valve
to its proper position.
