Cautions 

ELECTRICAL HAZARD:

 Disconnect power from equipment prior 

to making any internal adjustments. Service should only be 
performed by qualified personnel. 

FRAGILE:

 Inspect the equipment prior to installation. Do not 

install the equipment if damage is apparent. Do not attempt to 
disassemble this equipment. If damaged, return to the supplier. 

ELECTROSTATIC HAZARD:

 This is sensitive electronic 

equipment. Apply safe ant-static practices when handling this 
equipment. 

CIRCUIT LIMITATIONS:

 The maximum number of detectors 

connected to a single detection zone is limited by the control and 
indicating equipment, and may be limited by local regulations. 

 

Introduction

 

NB983 non-addressable gas detectors are state-of-the-art 
detectors suitable for connection to 4-wire non-
addressable fire detection control and indicating 
equipment, or to 4-wire addressable fire detection control 
and indicating equipment that can accept non-
addressable type detectors

These instructions provide trained installation personnel 
with details to install and commission NB983 detectors for 
optimum performance. 

 

Preparation

 

Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment 
(base and detector) and tools to mount and connect the 
equipment are available, such as drills, mounting screws, 
cables and ladders. 

NB983 detectors can be installed with the following bases 
and accessories.

Installation

 

Base 

The base can be mounted directly onto an electrical 
junction box such as an octagonal (75 mm, 90 mm or 
100 mm), a round (75 mm), or a square (100 mm) box 
without using any type of mechanical adapter. 

1.  Feed the conductors through the middle of the base 

for termination to the base contacts. 

2.  Mount the base on the junction box or directly onto a 

flat surface. 

3.  Mount the base to the surface using fixing screws 

that are suitable to securely fix the base to the 
surface.

May be used in conjunction with the NB773 zone monitor 

module.

 

Wiring 

The terminals of the base will accept 0.4 mm

2

 to 2.5 mm

2

 

conductors. 

1.  Strip the conductor insulation to expose 5 mm of the 

conductor. 

2.  Connect the conductors to the base terminals (see 

Fig. 1). 

WARNING

: Take care to ensure the insulation does not 

get clamped by the terminal contact.

WARNING

: Do not short-circuit terminals 2 and 5. 

3.  After all the bases are installed and wired, fit the end-

of-line resistor.  

Note: The value of the end-of-line resistor depends on the control 
and indicating equipment to which the detectors are installed. 

4.  Check the wiring for continuity, short circuits and 

earth faults. 

Output Relay 

The output relay is factory-adjusted with normally-open 
contacts that close on alarm. The relay can be configured 
for normally-closed operation as follows. 

1.  Insert a screwdriver into the rectangular hole 

located on the side between the detector front 
cover and the body (see Fig.

 

4) and rotate to 

remove the front cover. 

2.  Remove the jumper header located adjacent to the 

relay, and reinsert it in the NC position (see Fig.

 

or Fig.

 

3). 

3.  Carefully replace the front cover.
