BEFORE INSTALLING

This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Models 2251B, 2251TB and 2251TMB are plug-in type smoke sensors that combine a photoelectronic sensing chamber with addressable-analog communications. The sensors transmit an analog representation of smoke density over a communication line to a control panel. Rotary-decade switches are provided for setting the sensor’s address.

Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. An output is provided for connection to an optional remote LED annunciator (P/N RA400Z/RA100Z). Models 2251TMB and 2251TB combine a photoelectronic sensing chamber and 135°F (57.2°C) fixed temperature heat detector.

The 2251B, 2251TB and 2251TMB require compatible addressable communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compatible control panels only.

SPACING

System Sensor recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low air flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart. For specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector Application Guide, available from System Sensor.

Duct Applications: 2251B and 2251TB are listed for use in ducts. See Duct Applications Guide A05-1004-XX for details on pendant mount applications.

Note: 2251B is listed for use inside DNR(W) duct smoke detectors.

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.

Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.

1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the wiring diagram, Figure 1.

2. Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 2.

3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base while turning it clockwise to secure it in place.

4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and activate the communication line.

5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke. Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.

TAMPER-RESISTANCE

Models 2251B, 2251TB and 2251TMB include a tamper-resistant capability that prevents their removal from the bracket without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this capability.

TESTING

Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms.

All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72.

The sensor can be tested in the following ways:

A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)

This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test mag-

net electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.

1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.

2. The sensor should alarm the panel.

Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor

status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical documentation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm.

B. Smoke Entry

CAUTION

LED

SENSOR

The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry

testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as described in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator, apply aerosol until the panel alarms.

Additionally, canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent)

may be used for smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol smoke products are:

MANUFACTURER MODEL

Home Safeguard Industries 25S

SDi CHEK02 and CHEK06

SDi SOLOA4

SDi SMOKESABRE-01

When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for proper use of the canned smoke agent.

Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary by manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long term adverse effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manufacturer’s published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements.

For 2251TMB, smoke entry testing should be performed immediately following the magnet test. Magnet test initiates an approximately 10 minute period when the detector’s signal processing software routines are not active. Failure to first perform the magnet test will introduce a time delay before the detector alarms.

C. Direct Heat Method (Hair Dryer of 1000-1500 watts) 2251TB and

2251TMB only

A hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts should be used to test the thermistors. Di-

rect the heat toward either of the two thermistors, holding the heat source approximately 12 inches from the detector in order to avoid damaging the plastic housing. The detector will reset only after it has had sufficient time to cool. Make sure both thermistors are tested individually.

A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced.

When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

CLEANING

Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.

1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.

2. Remove the sensor cover by pressing firmly on each of the four removal tabs that hold the cover in place.

3. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning is required continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 7.

4. Remove the chamber cover/screen assembly by pulling it straight out.

5. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing chamber.

6. Reinstall the chamber cover/screen assembly by sliding the edge over the sensing chamber. Turn until it is firmly in place.

7. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently pushing it until it locks into place. Make sure that the thermistors do not become bent under the cover on 2251TB and 2251TMB models.

8. Reinstall the detector.

9. Test the detector as described in TESTING.

10. Reconnect disabled circuits.

11. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
