NOTE:

 2351BR and 2351BR-IV are also listed for use inside 

DNR(W) duct smoke detectors.

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code, 
applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having 
Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should 
be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Im-
proper 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 wiring diagram, Figure 2.
2.   Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 1.
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.

CAUTION

Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during 
shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke. 
Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.

TAMPER-RESISTANCE

Models 2351BR and 2351BR-IV include a tamper-resistant capability that pre-
vents their removal from the base without the use of a tool. Refer to the base 
manual for details on making use of this capability.

TESTING

Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing 
maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to 
prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Test-
ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors 
offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with 
NFPA 72.

UL268A listed for Duct Applications
This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system 
installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au-
thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when 
installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); 
see NFPA 72. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Models 2351BR and 2351BR-IV are plug-in type smoke sensors that combines 
a photoelectronic sensing chamber with addressable-analog communications. 
When used in duct applications with a DNR(W), testing can be done remotely 
using approved System Sen sor test accessories, eliminating the need for a test 
coil. The sensors transmit an analog representation of smoke density over a 
communication line to a control panel. Rotary dial switches are provided for 
setting the sensor’s address.

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 RA100Z). 
Note: Only System Sensor approved accessories may be used with the 2351BR 
and 2351BR-IV.
System Sensor 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. 2351BR and 2351BR-IV support Advanced 
Protocol and CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) mode. The possible fea-
tures available if supported by the control panel 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 UL listed control panel for specific 
operation. The 2351BR and 2351BR-IV require compatible addressable com-
munications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compatible 
control panels only. 

SPACING

System Sensor recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. 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 NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector Applica-
tion Guide, available from System Sensor.

Duct Applications:

 2351BR and 2351BR-IV are listed for use in ducts. See Duct 

Smoke Detectors Applications Guide HVAG53 for details on pendant mount
