Special Considerations: NOTE: Only one detector per zone shall be used, unless when in alarm the panel
switches the zone to a reverse polarity, non-current limited power supply. For
panels that do not provide this feature, a reversing relay, such as System Sensor’s
RR-2, may be used. When utilized with the 2100AT, it allows for more than one de-
tector to be utilized on a loop. Some panels may require the use of programmable
outputs. Refer to System Sensor literature for further information on the RR-2.
The 2100AT detector shall not be mixed with other 2-wire detectors on the same
zone.
–Due to the built-in temporal pattern, use this detector only with a non-coded
power source.

the detector’s status. If power is applied to the detector and
it is functioning normally in standby within the listed sensitivity range, the status LED blinks every ten seconds. The
LED also latches on in alarm. If the LED stops blinking, the
unit should be removed for maintenance and inspection.
The detectors also include an output that allows optional
connection of the RA400Z Remote Annunciator.

Before Installing
Please thoroughly read the System Sensor manual I56-407,
Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which provides detailed information on detector spacing, placement,
zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this
manual are available at no charge from System Sensor.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of
this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained
following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector should be
cleaned at least once a year.
General Description
Model 2100AT is a 2-wire photoelectronic smoke detectors
that uses a state-of-the-art optical sensing chamber. This
detector also provides restorable, 135˚F fixed-temperature
heat detection. The 2100AT heat-detection unit is integrated
with the photoelectronic sensor. This detector is designed
to provide open area protection and to be used with compatible UL-listed panels only.
In addition, a piezoelectric horn in each detector produces
an interrupted, 85 dBA tone when the individual detector
alarms or when the supply voltage polarity is reversed.
Installation of this detector is simplified by the use of a
mounting bracket and a plug-in screw terminal block that can
be prewired to the system, allowing the detector to be easily
installed or removed for cleaning. The detector’s sensitivity
can be tested in place using the MOD400R Test Module.
An LED on the detector provides a local visual indication of

Mounting
Each 2100AT detector is supplied with a mounting bracket
that permits the detector to be mounted:
1. To a single gang box, or
2. Directly to a 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch octagonal box, or
3. To a 4 inch square electrical box by using a plaster ring.
4. Directly to the ceiling using drywall anchors, if permitted by local codes and/or the authority having jurisdiction.
Tamper-resistant Feature
This detector includes a tamper-resistant feature that prevents its removal from the bracket without the use of a tool.
To make the detector tamper-resistant, remove the smaller
tab by breaking it at the scribed line on the tamper resistant
tab on the detector mounting bracket (see Figure 3), then
install the detector. To remove the detector from the bracket
once it has been made tamper resistant, use a small screwdriver to depress the tamper-resistant tab, located in the
slot on the mounting bracket, and turn the detector counterclockwise.
Wiring Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.
Proper wire gauges should be used. The conductors used to
connect smoke detectors to control panels and accessory
devices should be color-coded to reduce the likelihood of
wiring errors. Improper connections can prevent a system
from responding properly in the event of a fire.
The screw terminal block accepts 14 – 22 gauge wire. For
best system performance, all wiring should be installed in
separate grounded conduit. Do not mix fire system wiring
in the same conduit as any other electrical wiring. Twisted
used before wiring the detector loops.
