Installation Procedure 2

Wiring Procedure 2

Overview The tamper switch (see Figure 1) is used to monitor either the solid door or the dress panel of the
fire alarm control panel. The tamper switch does not monitor the glass door, it only monitors the
dress panel that is associated with the glass door. An IDNet IAM is mounted to the bracket. It is
wired to the contact of the tamper switch and added to the system via the FACP programmer.
Detection of the switch by the IAM is programmable as either a Trouble or as a Priority 2 Alarm.
To program the IAM, set the device type as IAM, then select the point type as either TROUBLE
or as GENPRI2. When servicing the panel, the tamper switch may be disabled by pulling the
white plastic plunger out until it locks into place (the door or dress panel must remain open for the
switch to be maintained in this position).

Tamper Switch

Installation 1. Note which way the solid door on your FACP will open and prepare to install the tamper switch
Procedure accordingly (if the door swings towards the left, then the tamper switch must mount to the right
inside the back box, and vice versa).
2. Match up the appropriate two mounting holes on the tamper switch to the two screw studs about
halfway up on the inside of the cabinet (if you are mounting to a back box with glass doors and
dress panels, use the top-front mounting holes (see Figure 1). If you are mounting to a back box
with solid doors and no dress panel, use the top-back mounting holes).
Note: The bottom mounting holes are used to mount the switch on the other side of the cabinet.
3. Set the tamper switch on the screw studs and fasten the tamper switch to the back box with the
two number six flange nuts provided.
