Install, test, and maintain the D298M according to these instructions, NFPA 72 standards,
local codes, and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in your area.
Caution!
Failure to follow these instructions can cause the failure of the detector to indicate an alarm.
Bosch is not responsible for improperly installed, tested, or maintained detectors.

System overview
These instructions cover installing the D298M (24 V), D298S (24 V), and D278S (12 V)
Addressable Bases in an addressable system controlled by a G Series control panel (D9412G/
D7412G or later) 12 V Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with a D8125 POPEX Module and 24 V
auxiliary power1 provided by a UL 1481 regulated power‑limited power supply, or a D9124
24 V FACP.
The D298M base provides individual addresses on the FACP data expansion circuit and
accepts:
–D263 and D263TH Photoelectric Smoke Detectors
–D287 and D288 Smoke Detector Bases, with the following detectors:
–D285 and D285TH Photoelectric Smoke Detectors
–D286 Ionization Smoke Detector
–D603, D604, and D605 Heat Detectors
When used with the D285 Series Detectors, the D298M base indicates chamber check trouble
to the control panel through the POPIT bus. The chamber check trouble indication appears on
the control stations as a fire trouble.
The D298M base also provides connection points for supervised circuits with up to 19 twowire conventional detectors reporting to the D298M’s address. When the D298M base is
combined with a PAM‑4 Relay Module, one Form “C” output (normally open [NO]/common
[C]/ normally closed [NC]) provides auxiliary functions such as recalling an elevator or closing
fire doors.
The D298S and D278S bases have a built‑in POPIT to provide individual addresses on the
FACP data expansion circuit. These bases accept:
–D285 and D285TH Photoelectric Smoke Detectors
–D286 Ionization Smoke Detector
–D603, D604, and D605 Heat Detectors
1
Depending on the current requirements of the application for the D278S base, power can be
provided by the FACP or by a UL 1481 regulated power‑limited auxiliary power supply

Mounting
Notice!
Ensure that the electrical box is large enough for the number and size of conductors specified
by these instructions, the National Electrical Code (NEC), and any local regulations having ju-
risdiction.
Item references are to Figure 3.1 below.
1.Select a proper mounting location according to the instructions in the Smoke Detectors
Technical Service Note (P/N: 31347).
2.Run all system wiring to the base location.
3.Mount the base (Item 1) using the two oblong mounting holes (Item 4). Tighten the base
to the mounting surface.
4.If you mount the base to four-inch square boxes, use the adapter plate (Item 2):
1.Mount the adapter plate to the box by screwing two 6-32 x 1-in. self-threading screws
(not supplied) through the adapter mounting holes (Item 3).
2.Mount the base to the adapter plate and box using the oblong mounting holes (Item 4).

Wiring
Wiring the Bases
The bases can accept any solid wire from 12 AWG (2.0 mm) to 22 AWG (0.8 mm). The
minimum wire size required is determined by the maximum number of bases used and the
maximum distance from the FACP to the most remote base.
See Table 4.1 for the number of bases in a circuit and their corresponding wire gauges.

Wiring D298M Bases
Note the following wiring requirements:
–Each D298M can supervise up to 19 additional two-wire detectors.
–When wiring the conventional detectors to a D298M base, the wiring to the most distant
detector cannot exceed 500 ft (152 m). The wiring must be 18 AWG (1.2 mm) or larger.
–If you are running a conventional two-wire detector circuit off of a D298M base, connect a
3 kΩ end-of-line (EOL) resistor1 across the last conventional device in the circuit.
–If you are not running a conventional two-wire detector circuit off of a D298M base,
connect a 3 kΩ EOL resistor1 across the D298M base between terminal 2 and terminal H.
–Connect the power loop to the control panel’s switched auxiliary power. If you are using a
separate power supply, connect the negative side to the control panel’s negative terminal
or POPIT.

The EOL resistor must be Bosch P/N: 15‑03130‑007, F.01U.008.725.
To wire the D298M bases, see the following figure.

Addressing
Each base has a specific address that does
not depend on the base’s location in the
circuit. The address is determined by setting
the seven DIP switches located on the
detector’s base.
See Item 1 in figure.
1Address Switches
To set the address for the D9112, D9124, or G Series FACP, use the following table.
If adding the base to a previous version FACP, set Switch 0 to ON and leave all other switches
OFF. Points 009 through 128 are on Point Bus A (Zonex Bus 1) and points 129 through 248
are on Point Bus B (Zonex Bus 2).
