BEfORE INSTALLINg

Please thoroughly read the system wiring and installation manuals, and man-

ual System Smoke Detectors Application Guide, which provides detailed in-

formation on detector spacing, placement, zoning, and special applications.

Copies of these manuals are available from System Sensor or through a Sys-

tem Sensor distributor.

gENERAL DESCRIPTION

The B210LP is a plug in detector base intended for use in a 2-wire intelligent sys-

tem, with screw terminals provided for power (+ and –), and remote annuncia-

tor connections. Communication takes place over the power (+ and –) lines.

BASE TERMINALS

MOUNTINg

square boxes (with or without plaster rings) and single gang boxes. To mount,

remove the decorative ring by turning it in either direction to unhook the

snaps, then separate the ring from the base. Install the base on the box using

the screws supplied with the junction box and the appropriate mounting slots

in the base.

Place the decorative ring on the base and rotate it in either direction until it

snaps into place (see Figure 2).

INSTALLATION WIRINg gUIDELINES

All wiring must be installed in compliance with 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 recom-

mended that the wire be no smaller than AWG 18. However, the screws and

clamping plate in the base can accommodate wire sizes up to AWG 12. The

use of twisted pair wiring or shielded cable for the power (+ and -) loop is

recommended to minimize the effects of electrical interference.

If shielded cable is used, the shield connection to and from the detector must

be continuous by using wire nuts, crimping, or soldering, as appropriate for a

reliable connection.

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.

Do not loop the wire under the clamping plate.

The zone wiring of the detector base should be checked before the detector

heads are installed in them. The wiring should be checked for continuity and

polarity in the base, and dielectric tests should be performed.

The base includes a label for recording the zone, address, and type of detector

being installed. This information is important to set the address of the detector

head that will later be plugged into the base and to verify the type required

for that location.
