1.2Required Maintenance and Testing
Keep the detector calibrated for proper operation. NFPA 72,
The National Fire Alarm Code, recommends performing
calibration tests at installation, then every other year.
Depending on local regulations, calibration testing might be
required more than once a year.
Perform functional testing yearly.

completion of these activities.
Test the calibration (to meet NFPA 72) using either the magnet
test or measuring the calibration with a calibrated product from
No Climb Products Ltd. Quickly determine the calibration by a
visual inspection of the detector’s LED (refer to Section 4.4 Flash Rate and Trouble Indication on page 22). These tests
confirm whether or not the detector is within its factory marked
calibration range.
At least once a year vacuum or wipe the external part of the
detector clean. Pay particular attention to the detector screens
in areas of heavy insect activity or dust. To clean the chamber,

use a can of clean, dry compressed air (such as TECHSPRAY
ENVI-RO-TECH Duster) which is available at office and alarm
supply stores. Shorten the plastic tube that comes with the
compressed air to about 2 in. (5 cm). Place the tube or needle
valve through the Chambermaid valve in the bottom of the
detector (refer to Figure 2.2 on page 7).
NOTE! Do not paint the detectors. Paint or other foreign
i
matter covering the detector can prevent smoke
detection.
2General Information
This document covers mounting, wiring, power requirements,
testing, and maintenance for the F220-B6, F220-B6C, F220-B6E,
and F220-B6R Detector Bases and the F220 Series Heat and
Photoelectric Smoke Detectors. Install them according to
NFPA 72.
NOTE! For proper system installation, read and
understand NFPA-72 before installation.

Two-wire:
NOTE! Bosch Security Systems, Inc. makes no claim
written, oral, or implied that the F220 Series Detectors
work with any two-wire control panels except those
specified in the Base Compatibility chart in Technical Service Note (P/N: 4998148185).

Four-wire: Compatible with all UL Listed four-wire control
panels. Refer to the control panel manufacturer’s installation
instructions for proper end-of-line (EOL) resistor selection.
2.1.2Base Comparisons
The F220-B6 is a two-wire base, while the F220-B6C, F220-B6E,
and F220-B6R are four-wire bases. All three of the four-wire
bases have a Form A alarm relay. In addition to the alarm relay,
the:
–F220-B6C has a Form C auxiliary alarm relay
–F220-B6E has a power supervision (EOL) relay
NOTE! Use the F220-B6RS when a built-in sounder is
needed. The F220-B6RS also has a Form A alarm relay.
Refer to the F220 Series Detectors with the F220-B6RS Installation Manual (P/N: F01U029847).

For addressable systems, use the F220-B6PM
Addressable POPIT Master Base or F220-B6PS
Addressable POPIT Base. Refer to the F220-B6PS/M Installation Manual (P/N: 4998149982).

2.2.4F220 Series Smoke Detector Heads
The F220 Series Smoke Detector Heads are UL Listed, openarea photoelectric smoke detectors that work with commercial
fire protective signaling systems and household fire warning
systems. Select the appropriate mounting base to configure the
detectors for two-wire or four-wire versions (refer to
Section 2.1.2 Base Comparisons on page 4).
To verify power to the detector and a functioning smoke
sampling circuitry, a dual color LED indicator flashes green
every eight seconds when operating normally. It flashes once
every four seconds when a trouble condition exists. If the
detector determines an alarm condition exists, the LED
changes from flashing green to steady red. The detector returns
to normal when power is interrupted and the alarm condition
clears.
Throughout its normal life cycle, the smoke detector monitors
and periodically adjusts itself to keep the sensitivity at its
factory calibrated level. When excessively dirty, the detector’s
LED flash rate changes from an eight second flash rate to a four
second rate. If CleanMe is selected, the detector sends a
CleanMe signal to the compatible control panel to indicate a
dirty smoke detector.
Refer to Section 4.3 Set CleanMe Feature on page 22.
