System Smoke Detectors Guide which provides detailed information on detector spacing zoning wiring and special applications Copies of this manual are at no charge from System Sensor DESCRIPTION B501 is a plug in detector base intended for use in an intelligent system with terminals provided for power and and remote annunciator con The communication takes place over the power and lines TERMINALS Remote Annunciator Annunciator 1 TERMINAL LAyOUT PROOF INSTALLATION gUIDELINES SEE fIgURE 2 wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code the local authority having jurisdiction Proper wire gauges should be The conductors used to connect the smoke detectors to control pan and accessory devices should be color coded to prevent wiring mistakes connections can prevent a system form responding properly in the of a fire signal wiring the wiring between interconnected detectors and modules is recommended that the wiring be no smaller than 18 gauge 1.0 square Wire sizes up to 12 gauge wire 2.5 square mm may be used with the For best system performance the power and loop wires should twisted pair or shielded cable installed in separate grounded conduit to the loop from extraneous electrical interference If a cable shield is pro the shield connection to and from the base must be continuous by us wire nuts crimping or soldering as appropriate for a reliable connection Connections are made by simply stripping about 3 of an inch of insula from the end of the wire use strip gauge molded in base sliding the end of the wire under the clamping plate and tightening the clamping screw Do not loop the wire under the clamping plate zone wiring of the detector base should be checked before the detector are installed in them The wiring should be checked for continuity po in the base and dielectric tests base contains a label to write the zone address and type of detector to installed at that location This information is used to set the address of the head that will later be plugged into the base and to verify the type for that location 2 TyPICAL WIRINg DIAgRAM fOR 2 WIRE LOOP DO NOT LOOP WIRE TERMINAL 1 OR 2 WIRE RUN TO PROVIDE OF CONNECTIONS A OPTIONAL WIRING fEATURE Do Not use the tamper resistant capability if the XR2 or XR2B Removal will be used This detector base also includes an optional tamperproof that when activated prevents removal of the detector without the use a tool activate this feature simply break off the tab on the detector base shown in 3A and install the detector To remove the detector from the base once tamperproof feature has been activated place a small bladed screwdriver the small hole on the side of the base and push the plastic lever away the detector head see Figure 3B This will allow the detector to be ro counterclockwise for removal tamperproof feature may be defeated by breaking and removing the plas lever from the base however this prevents ever using the feature again ANNUNCIATOR RA400 remote annunciator is connected between terminals 1 and 3 using the lug terminal packed with the remote annunciator The spade lug termi is connected to the base terminal as shown in Figure 4 is not acceptable to have three stripped wires under the same wiring termi unless they are separated by a washer or equivalent means The spade lug with the model RA400 is considered an equivalent means
