B402B Plug-in Detector Base
For use with the following smoke detectors: 1451, 2451, and 2451TH
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING
Please read the System Sensor manual I56-407, Guide for Proper Use of Sys-
tem Smoke Detectors, which provides detailed information on detector spacing,
placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this manual are
available at no charge from System Sensor. (For installations in Canada, refer
to CAN4-S524, Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, and CEC
Part 1, Sec. 32.)
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 plug-in detector base B402B is used with System Sensor model 2451 and
2451TH photoelectronic detector heads, and model 1451 ionization detector
head. The capability of plugging these detectors into a variety of special bases
makes them more versatile than equivalent direct-wired models. Refer to the
System Sensor catalog for other available plug-in detector bases.
This B402B base is intended for use in 4-wire systems, with screw terminals
provided for power, remote annunciator, and relay contact connections. These
bases also contain a resistor to provide current limiting in the alarm state.
MOUNTING
This detector base mounts directly to 3
1
⁄
2
-inch and 4-inch octagon boxes, and
4-inch square boxes (with or without plaster). 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. Use the screws supplied with the junction
box to attach the base to the box through the appropriate slots in the base (see
Figure 1). Position the decorative ring around the base and rotate it in either
direction until the ring snaps into place.

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 hav-
ing 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 18 gauge (1.0 square mm). The
screws and clamping plate in the base can accommodate wire sizes up to 12
gauge (2.5 square mm). For best system performance, the power (+ and –)
loop wire should be twisted pair and installed in separate grounded conduit to
minimize the effects of electrical interference.
Smoke detectors and alarm system control panels have specifications for al-
lowable loop resistance. Read the manual for the control to determine the
total loop resistance allowed before wiring the detector loops.
Locate installations where normal ambient temperature does not exceed
100°F.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (FIGURES 2 AND 3)
Wire connections are made by stripping approximately 3/8” (1 cm) insulation
from the end of each wire, sliding the bare end of the wire under the clamp
plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw. Use the strip gauges molded
into the inside and underside of the base for ease of wiring to terminals 1
through 5 and to terminals 12 through 14, respectively.
The zone wiring of the detector base should be checked before installing the
smoke detector head. To make this possible, this base contains a special-type
shorting jumper. After the detector base is wired and attached to the electrical
box, make sure that the shorting spring is in contact with the base of terminal
3. This temporary connection shorts the positive-in and positive-out leads and
permits the wiring of the loop to be checked for continuity.
