BEFORE INSTALLING

Please thoroughly read System Sensor’s manual I56-407, Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors. This manual provides detailed information on de-

tector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications, and is available at no charge 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

The B114LPBT detector base is designed for use with System Sensor model 2151 photoelectronic and 1151 ionization detector heads. The capability of plugging these detectors into a variety of special bases makes them more ver-

two- or three-conductor wire be no smaller than 18 gauge (1.0 square mm). For best performance, alarm loop conductors should be installed in separate grounded conduit or shielded cable to protect the alarm loop from extraneous electrical interference.

Smoke detectors and alarm systems control panels have specifications for allowable loop resistance. Consult the control panel manufacturer’s specifications for the total loop resistance allowed for the particular model control panel being used before wiring the detector loops.

satile than equivalent direct-wired models. Refer to the System Sensor catalog for other available plug-in bases. The B114LPBT base is intended for use in 4-wire systems with terminals provided for remote annunciator and relay connections.

MOUNTING

The detector base mounts directly to 31/2- and 4-inch octagon boxes and 4-inch square boxes. To mount the base, remove the decorative ring by rotating it in either direction to unhook the snaps before separating the ring from the base.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, all applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, using the proper wire size. 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 16 gauge (1.5 square mm), and that

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for releasing device wiring.

NOTE: To ensure that electrical connections are supervised, do NOT loop

wires under terminals 8, 9, 10, and 11. Cut the wire at each terminal.

To make electrical connections, strip approximately 3/8 inch (1 cm) insulation from the end of each wire, slide the bare wire end under the clamping plate, and tighten the clamping plate screw. Use the strip gauges molded into the inside and underside of the base for ease of wiring to terminals 1 and 4, and to terminals 6 through 14, respectively.

The zone wiring of the detector base should be checked before installing the smoke detector heads. The base contains a built-in shorting spring to make

To make the base tamper resistant, simply break off the tab on the base (see Figure 4A), before installing the detector.

To remove the detector from the base after it has been made tamper resistant, insert a small screwdriver (see Figure 4B) into the small hole and press the plastic lever away from the detector. Rotate the detector counterclockwise and remove.

NOTE: Head removal after activating the tamper-resistance feature first requires removal of the decorative ring.

this possible. After the detector base is wired and mounted to an electrical box, position the shorting spring against terminal 3. This temporary connection energizes the supervisory relay and permits the wiring of the loop to be checked for continuity.

After all detector bases have been mounted, wired, and the wiring checked, install the detector heads. The shorting spring in the base automatically disengages when the detector head is removed from the base. DO NOT remove the

TAMPER-RESISTANCE FEATURE

This detector base also includes an optional tamper-resistant feature that when activated prevents removal of the detector without the use of a tool.

System Sensor warrants its enclosed smoke detector base to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date of manufacture.
