This installation procedure assumes that the associated detector base is already installed and ready for operation. D140-01-00 1 I56-1493-01 Figure 2. Ring Replacement: A. Ring Replacement 1. Remove the decorative ring from the B114LP/ B114LPBT base by rotating it in either direction to release the hooks. Separate the ring from the base. 2. Position the Test Coil Replacement Ring Assembly on the base, as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to position the test coil directly over the 4-Position Terminal Block. Otherwise, the coil may not activate the switch during a test. 3. Route the the Test Coil Replacement Ring Assembly wires through the slot in the base as indicated in Figure 2. 4. Rotate the ring in either direction until it snaps in place. Dress all wiring, as needed. B. Wiring 1. Route four wires from the B114LP/B114LPBT to the test station mounting location. Be sure to comply with all applicable electrical codes when installing this wiring. This includes selecting the proper wire size and routing through conduit, if necessary. 2. Connect the wiring to the B114LP/B114LPBT Base and RTS451 Test Station, as shown in Figure 3. TEST COIL 4-POSITION TERMINAL BLOCK K1 RELAY 3-POSITION TERMINAL BLOCK C.
