Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION
The FARADAY 8730 Test Switch Module is a key
activated momentary switch for use with intelligent
duct detectors. It is used in conjunction with an 8704
monitoring module with relay, whose usage is set to
TEST. When the monitor module senses the 8730
switch closure, it will cause its associated intelligent
duct detector to go into alarm. This alarm condition
will cause all logic associated with the duct detector
to activate. The 8730 is mounted on a switch plate
and can be installed in a single gang box.
Remove all power from the system until the
installation is complete and ready for testing.
All work of any kind shall be performed to meet
the requirements of all local and national codes
and/or standards required by the authority hav-
ing jurisdiction.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 2 to wire
the addressable interface module.
Note: The recommended wire size is as follows:
18 AWG minimum
14 AWG maximum
POWER LIMITED WIRING FOR THE 8730
TEST SWITCH MODULE
In compliance with NFPA 70—National Electrical
Code, all power limited fire protective signaling
conductors must be separated by a minimum of ¼
inch from all of the following items located within an
outlet box:
• Electric light
• Power
• Class 1 or non-power limited fire protective
signaling conductors
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the module from its protective bag.
Mount the 8730 in a user-supplied standard
single gang mounting box (1½ in deep is
recommended). Refer to Figure 1.
2. Terminate all field wires to the 8730 as required
for your application. Refer to the connection
diagram shown in Figure 2.
3. Attach the switch frame to the box.
4. Check that jumper JP1 is NOT installed. (JP1 is
not used in this application.)
5. Attach the keyswitch connector to its mating plug
on the bottom of the circuit board.
6. Insert the face plate and attach the cover plate
with the two screws provided.
Note: A yellow and green LED are included in the
kit. Do not use them in this application.
PROGRAMMING
1. Use the FARADAY 8720 Programmer to
program the 8730 to the desired address.
2. To operate the 8730 LED by the 8704 module
relay contacts:
In the CIS-4, configure the 8704 module by
setting its usage to TEST and assign the
detector’s address to the 8704. Add a logic
function with the intelligent detector that will be
tested as the input, and assign the output as the
8704. Refer to Figure 2.
OPERATION
Reset the MPC-6000 or MPC-7000 System until the
message set in CIS-4 for SYSTEM NORMAL is
displayed on the panel. Insert the key into the
manual keyswitch input point on the 8730. Activate
the momentary switch by turning the key to the right.
