Cautions 

ELECTRICAL HAZARD:

 Disconnect power from equipment prior to making 

any internal adjustments. Service should only be performed by qualified 
personnel. 

FRAGILE:

 Inspect the equipment prior to installation. Do not install the 

equipment if damage is apparent. Do not attempt to disassemble this 
equipment. If damaged, return to the supplier. 

ELECTROSTATIC HAZARD:

 This is sensitive electronic equipment. Apply 

safe ant-static practices when handling this equipment. 

CIRCUIT LIMITATIONS:

 The maximum number of detectors connected to 

a single detection zone is limited by the control and indicating equipment, 
and may be limited by local regulations. 

Introduction 

SNC-300 non-addressable photoelectric smoke/heat detectors are 
state-of-the-art detectors suitable for connection to 2-wire or 4-
wire non-addressable fire detection control and indicating 
equipment, or to addressable fire detection control and indicating 
equipment that can accept non-addressable type detectors

These instructions provide trained installation personnel with 
details to install and commission SNC-300 smoke/heat detectors 
for optimum performance. 

Preparation 

Before commencing installation, ensure all equipment (base and 
detector) and tools to mount and connect the equipment are 
available, such as drills, mounting screws, cables and ladders. 

SNC-300 smoke/heat detectors can be installed with the following 
bases and accessories.

UL-approved. 

Requires 9-terminal base. 

 

Installation 

Base 

The base can be mounted directly onto an electrical junction box 
such as an octagonal (75 mm, 90 mm or 100 mm), a round 
(75 mm), or a square (100 mm) box without using any type of 
mechanical adapter. 

1. 

Feed the conductors through the middle of the base for 
termination to the base contacts. 

2. 

Mount the base on the junction box or directly onto a flat 
surface. 

3. 

Mount the base to the surface using fixing screws that are 
suitable to securely fix the base to the surface. 

Wiring 

Base terminals accept (0.4 ~ 2.5) mm

2

 conductors. 

1. 

Strip the conductor insulation to expose 5 mm of the 
conductor. 

2. 

Connect the conductors to the base terminals. 

a. 

See Fig. 1 for detectors using 2-wire bases. 

b. 

See Fig. 2 for detectors using 4-wire bases. 

WARNING

: Take care to ensure the insulation does not get 

clamped by the terminal contact.

May be used with the 620-001 detector monitor module.

Note 1: 9-terminal base required if a remote indicator is installed. 

Note 2: If a remote indicator is not installed, the polarity of the zone circuit 
wiring may be reversed. 

WARNING

: Do not short-circuit terminals 2 and 5.

WARNING

: Do not short-circuit terminals 2 and 5.

 

 

3. 

After all the bases are installed and wired, fit the end-of-line 
resistor.  

Note: The value of the end-of-line resistor depends on the control and 
indicating equipment to which the detectors are installed. 

4. 

Check the wiring for continuity, short circuits and earth faults. 

Output Relay (where fitted) 

The output relay is factory-adjusted with normally-open contacts 
that close on alarm. No setting adjustment is required.  

 

Detector

 

WARNING

: Do not install the detector head until the area is 

thoroughly cleaned of construction debris, dust, etc. 

1. 

Align the detector alignment mark with the short alignment 
mark in the base, as shown in Fig. 3. 

2. 

Mate the detector head onto the base and rotate it clockwise 
to secure it. The long alignment marks should be aligned.
