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.

Mounting
This detector base mounts directly to 3¹/2- and 4-inch octagon boxes, 4-inch
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.

(NOT SUPPLIED)
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.
DETECTOR
BASE
Make electrical connections by stripping about ³/8 inch (10 mm) of insulation
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.
BOX
(NOT SUPPLIED)
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.
