Description

This System Sensor 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. Also, the B401 base is intended for use in 2-wire systems, with screw terminals provided for power and remote annunciator connections. These System Sensor B401 detector bases mount to typical junction boxes. Attach the base to the box using the screws supplied with the junction box.

In addition, all wiring must be install in compliance with applicable codes and the authority having jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be use. Besides, the conductors used to connect smoke detectors to control panels and accessory devices should be color-code 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 recommend that the wire be no smaller than 18 gauge. Furthermore, wire sizes up to 12 gauge may be use with the base. For best system performance, the power (+) and (–) loop wires should be twist pair and installed in separate grounded conduit to protect the loop from extraneous electrical interference.
