F220-B6 Series Bases  

Use with the F220 Series Heat and Photoelectric 
Smoke Detectors. Install them in accordance with 
NFPA 72, The National Fire Alarm Code. 

 

For proper system installation, read and 
understand NFPA-72, The National Fire 
Alarm Code before installation. 

This document covers mounting, wiring, power 
requirements, testing, and maintenance for the bases 
and detectors:  

 

For two-wire compatibility information see the 

Technical Service Note

 (P/N: 4998148185). 

 

For installation guidelines see the 

Technical Service 

Note

 (P/N: 26715).

Use with F220 Series bases to provide general property 
protection. 

 

The F220-135, F220-135F and F220-
190F are not life safety devices.

Photoelectronic Smoke Detectors 

The F220P Series Detectors are UL Listed, open-area 
photoelectric smoke detectors that work with 
commercial fire protective signaling systems and 
household fire warning systems. Select the appropriate 
mounting base to configure the detectors for two-wire 
or four-wire versions. 

For commercial and industrial installations, 30 ft 
(9.14 m) spacing between detectors is recommended. 

To verify power to the detector and a functioning 
smoke sampling circuitry, a dual color LED indicator 
flashes green every eight seconds when operating 
normally. It flashes once every four seconds when a 
trouble condition exists. 

If the detector finds an alarm condition, the LED 
changes from flashing green to steady red. The detector 
returns to normal when power is interrupted and the 
alarm condition clears. 

Throughout its normal life cycle, the smoke detector 
monitors and periodically readjusts itself to keep the 
sensitivity at its factory calibrated level. When 
excessively dirty, the detector’s LED flash rate changes 
from an eight second flash rate to a four second rate. If 
CleanMe™ is selected, the detector transmits a 
CleanMe signal to the compatible control panel to 
indicate a dirty smoke detector. 
See 

Section 1.5 CleanMe toggle 

to enable CleanMe. 

1.5 CleanMe 

toggle 

To activate the CleanMe feature: 
1.

 

Place a magnet next to the “T” marked on the 
detector base for more than one red LED flash but 
less than three red LED flashes. The LED flashes 
green one time and proceeds into the first of two 
sensitivity reading displays.
