Frequently Asked Questions - FLM-325-ISO BOSCH

How do I install the FLM-325-ISO smoke detector?

Mount the detector base to a ceiling or wall. Connect the wires according to the wiring diagram (positive, negative, and alarm loop). Twist the detector head onto the base until it clicks.

Does the detector require a battery?

No, the FLM-325-ISO is powered directly from the fire alarm control panel (12-30 VDC). It does not use batteries.

How often should I clean the detector?

Clean the detector at least once a year. Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust. Do not use water or cleaning solvents.

What causes false alarms?

False alarms can be caused by steam, cooking fumes, dust, or insects. Ensure the detector is not installed near kitchens or bathrooms. Regular cleaning helps reduce false alarms.

How do I test the detector?

Press the test button on the detector. The alarm should sound and the control panel should indicate an alarm. If not, check wiring and replace if defective.

Can this detector be used with third-party control panels?

The FLM-325-ISO is designed for Bosch fire alarm control panels. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed. Always check the control panel's compatibility list.

What is the maximum number of detectors per loop?

The maximum is typically 32 detectors per loop, but refer to the control panel's specifications for exact limits.

How do I know if the detector is in alarm?

The built-in LED will flash rapidly (red) during alarm, and the control panel will show an alarm condition. A remote indicator can also be connected.

What should I do if the detector fails a test?

Check wiring connections and voltage (12-30 VDC). Clean the detector. If it still fails, replace the detector as it may be faulty.

Is the FLM-325-ISO approved for use in residential settings?

This detector is primarily designed for commercial applications. For residential use, check local fire codes; Bosch recommends dedicated residential smoke alarms with battery backup.
