Before Installing 

Please  thoroughly  read  the  System  Sensor  manual  A05-
1003, 

Applications  Guide  for  System  Smoke  Detectors

which  provides  detailed  information  on  detector  spacing, 
placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies 
of this manual are available from System Sensor. 

NOTICE:

 This manual should be left with the owner/user 

of this equipment.

IMPORTANT: 

The detector must be tested and maintained 

regularly  following  NFPA  72  requirements.  The  detector 
should be cleaned at least once a year.

General Description

The 2151 low-profile photoelectronic detector uses a state-
of-the-art  optical  sensing  chamber.  This  detector  is  de-
signed to provide open area protection and to be used with 
compatible UL listed control panels only. The capability of 
plugging this detector into a variety of special bases makes 
it more versatile than equivalent direct-wired models.
Two LEDs on each detector provide local 360° visible alarm 
indication.  They  flash  every  five  seconds  indicating  that 
power is applied and the detector is working properly. The 
LEDs latch on in alarm. LEDs will be off when a trouble 
condition  exists  indicating  that  the  detector  sensitivity  is 
outside the listed limit. Remote LED annunciator capability 
is standard and may be implemented through an optional 
accessory RA400Z. The alarm can be reset only by a mo-
mentary  power  interruption.  This  detector  may  be  tested 
by activating the internal reed switch with a magnet.

Base Selection And Wiring Guide

Refer to the installation instructions for the Plug-in Detec-
tor  Bases  for  base  selection  and  wiring  instructions.  Sys-
tem  Sensor  has  a  variety  of  detector  bases  available  for 
this smoke detector, including 2-wire applications with and 
without relays and/or current limiting resistors, 4-wire and 
120VAC applications.

ground, remote annunciator connections and relay contact 
connections,  if  applicable.  The  electrical  ratings  for  each 
detector-base combination are also included in the base in-
stallation instructions.

Installation

NOTE:

  All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, 

ordinances, and regulations.

NOTE:

  Verify  that  all  detector  bases  are  installed,  that 

the  initiating-device  circuits  have  been  tested,  and  that 
the wiring is correct. (Refer to detector base manual for 
testing procedure.)

WARNING

Remove power from initiating-device circuits before install-
ing detectors.

1.  Install detectors:
  a. Place the detector into the detector base.
  b. Turn the detector clockwise until the detector drops  

  into place.

  c. Continue turning detector clockwise to lock it in place.
2.  Tamper  Resistance:  The  detector  bases  can  be  made 

tamper resistant. When capability is enabled, detectors 
cannot be removed from the base without the use of a 
tool.  See  the  detector  base  installation  manual  of  the 
detector base for details in using this capability.

3.  After all detectors have been installed, apply power to 

the control unit.

4.  Test the detector using the magnet as described under 

TESTING.

5.  Reset the detector at the system control panel.
6.  Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
