905-0001 Sita Multipoint ASD Detector Base: Installation and Maintenance Instructions
General Description
The Sita Multipoint ASD detector base allows for the connection of Multipoint devices to the Sita loop. This base is
only compatible with the addressable Multipoint ASD detector for the Sita200plus, Duonet and Quadnet ranges of
control panels.
Before Installation
The detector must be installed in compliance with the control panel installation manual. The installation must also
meet the requirements of any local authority. For maximum performance the detector should be installed in
compliance to BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Spacing
Fike recommends spacing detectors in accordance with BS5839 Pt1. Due to the effects of IR and possible
magnetic interference, detectors should not be fitted any closer than 500mm (preferably 1000mm) to a light fitting or
any other source of IR. In addition to this recommendation, the device should be mounted so that the indication LED
is facing towards the light source. For more specific information regarding detector spacing, placement and special
applications please refer to BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Base Installation
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the recommendations laid out by BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 as well as any
special recommendations documented in the control panel installation manual. The cabling used should be of a
2
2-core 1.5mm screened, fire resistant type with the following characteristics:
It is to be wired in the form of a screened 2-core loop returning to the control panel. The use of spurs on
this system is not permitted. Cables may be terminated into the connectors mounted in the base, as shown
below. Care should be taken when terminating devices to ensure all cables are correctly sleeved and connections
are secure. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.

The LOOP +IN and Loop +OUT (loop positive in and out) connections are automatically joined together (short
circuit) by a spring arm between terminals 2 and 3 until the detector is installed. This allows for cable continuity
readings at the commissioning stage. Please remember that all high voltage testing must be carried out before the
installation of the electronics, otherwise the electronics will be damaged. Please also note that the SCRN terminal
should only be connected to the loop screen and NOT the building earth.
Once all testing has been carried out on the cabling and continuity & insulation has been proven, the Multipoint
ASD unit may be assembled.
