Before Installing
Please thoroughly read the System Smoke Detectors
Application Guide, which provides detailed information
on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this manual are available from
System Sensor.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: The detector used with this base must be
tested and maintained regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector used with this base should be cleaned
at least once a year.

General Description
This B401 plug-in detector base is used with System Sensor
smoke and heat detector heads. The capability of plugging
these detectors into a variety of special bases makes them
more versatile than equivalent direct-wired models. Refer
to the System Sensor catalog for other available plug-in
detector bases.
The B401 base is intended for use in 2-wire systems, with
screw terminals provided for power and remote annunciator connections.

Mounting
CAUTION
Figure 1 shows mechanical mounting details. These detector bases mount to typical junction boxes. Attach the base
to the box using the screws supplied with the junction box.
Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with applicable
codes and the 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.
For signal wiring (the wiring between interconnected
detectors), it is recommended that the wire be no smaller
than 18 gauge. Wire sizes up to 12 gauge may be used with
the base. For best system performance, the power (+) and
(–) loop wires should be twisted pair and installed in separate grounded conduit to protect the loop from extraneous
electrical interference.
Smoke detectors and alarm system control panels have
specifications for allowable loop resistance. Consult the
control panel manufacturer’s specifications for the total
loop resistance allowed for the control panel being used
before wiring the detector loops.
Wiring Instructions
Figure 1. Mounting base to box:
C0589-00
Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire run to ensure
supervision of connections.
Wire connections are made by stripping about 3⁄8” of insulation from the end of the wire (use strip gauge molded in
base), sliding the bare end of the wire under the clamping
plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw.
Two-wire initiating devices receive their power from the
initiating circuit of a control panel. Electrical specifications
of the control panel and the detector-base combination
must be compatible for the system to function properly.
System Sensor maintains a list of two-wire detectors and
control panels that are listed as compatible. The 2-Wire
Compatibility Chart is available from System Sensor at no
charge.
The zone wiring of the detector bases should be checked
before the detector heads are installed. To make this possible, this base contains a special spring-type shorting
jumper (shown in Figure 1). After a detector base is prop-
