be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. 
Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the 
event of a fire.

Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.

1.   Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the base wiring diagram. 

(See Figure 1.) 

2.   Set the desired address on the sensor address switches. (See Figure 2.)

3.   Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base while 

turning it clockwise to secure it in place.

4.   After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control panel and 

activate the communication line.

5.   Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel sys-
tem installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of 
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum perfor-
mance when installed in compliance with CAN/ULC S524. For a complete 
list of compatible bases, refer to the Base/Sensor Cross Reference Chart at

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Model MIX-2351TIRAPA is a plug-in type multi-criteria smoke sensor that of-
fers a photoelectric sensing chamber combined with a 135°F (57.2°C) fixed 
temperature heat detector and infrared (IR) sensors. The MIX-2351TIRAPA 
also transmit an alarm signal due to heat (135°F/57.2°C) per CAN/ULC S530.

All sensors transmit an analog representation of smoke density over a commu-
nication line to a control panel. Rotary dial switches are provided for setting 
the sensor’s address. (See Figure 2.) 

Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. 
An output is provided for connection to an optional remote LED annunciator  
(P/N RA100ZA). 

Mircom panels offer different features sets across different models. As a result, 
certain features of the photoelectric sensors may be available on some control 
panels, but not on others. 

MIX-2351TIRAPA supports Advanced Protocol and CLIP (Classic Loop In-
terface Protocol) mode. The possible features available in the multi-criteria 
smoke sensors, if supported by the control unit are:

1.   The sensor’s LEDs can operate in three ways—on, off, and blinking–and 

they can be set to red, green, or amber. This is controlled by the panel. 

2.   The remote output may be synchronized to the LED operation or con-

trolled independent of the LEDs.

3.   Devices are point addressable up to 159 addresses.

Please refer to the operation manual for the ULC listed control panel for spe-
cific operation. The photoelectric sensors require compatible addressable 
communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compat-
ible control panels only. 

SPACING

Mircom recommends spacing sensors in compliance with CAN/ULC S524. In 
low air flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart 
(9.1 m). For specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and 
special applications, refer to CAN/ULC S524 and the System Smoke Detector 
Application Guide, available from Mircom. 

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code, 
applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having 
Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should
