Dimensions of the Optional Mounting Box (BB-400R/W)

Setting the Candela (FS-400, FS-400C, FHS-400, FHS-400C only)

The candela can be set to 15, 30, 75, 15/75,110 and 185 (for FS-400 and FHS-400). The factory default setting is 15.
Note: The 185 candela setting is not available on ceiling units.

1. Remove the plastic selector tab from the back of the device.
2. Re-insert the selector tab into the notch that is labeled with the desired candela setting.

Setting the DIP Switches

Note: DIP switches 2 and 3 are not used.

Switch 1: Input
Note: Use Non-synchronized when the appliances do not need to be synchronized. Use Synchronized when synchronization is required, either through a sync module or built-in synchronization on the control unit.

Shorting Clip

• In order to test the wiring, place the shorting clip on the middle two terminals after wiring.
• Remove the shorting clip before mounting the device.

Wiring

• Use the information in this document to determine the total current draw of the devices. The total current draw of the devices must not exceed the power supply of the panel. In all cases, the installer should consider the voltage drop to ensure that the last device on the circuit operates within its rated voltage.
• The absolute maximum number of devices on one circuit is 100. The absolute maximum impedance for wall mounted devices at 15 candela is 150 ohms.
• Input terminal wire gauge: 22 AWG to 12 AWG
  Note: Wiring must be in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Section 32 and NFPA 70.

Mounting to the Wall or Ceiling

MGC recommends spacing notifi cation appliances in compliance with CAN/ULC S524 and NFPA 72. Mount the unit with the MGC logo at the top. The mounting plate is compatible with 3” by 2” single gang device boxes, 3-3/4” by 4” double gang boxes, 4” by 2” single gang utility boxes, standard 4” by 4” boxes, and standard 4” octagon boxes. See below for a description of the holes to use for each box.

1. Attach the mounting plate to the box with 2 or 4 screws.
2. Snap the unit on to the mounting plate.
3. Secure the unit with the #4-40 x 3/8” screw and snap the nameplate over the screw.

Mounting to the Optional Mounting Box (BB-400R/W)

MGC recommends spacing notifi cation appliances in compliance with CAN/ULC S524 and NFPA 72. Mount the unit with the MGC logo at the top.

1. Attach the mounting plate to the mounting box with the 4 screws.
2. Snap the unit on to the mounting plate.
3. Secure the unit with the #4-40 x 3/8” screw and snap the nameplate over the screw.

Unmounting

1. Remove the nameplate and the screw.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot at the top of the unit and turn it to separate the unit from the mounting plate.

Mounting Options

• A: 3” by 2” single gang device box
• B: 3 3/4” by 4” double gang box
• C: 4” by 2” single gang utility box
• D: standard 4” by 4” box
• E: standard 4” octagon box
