Before installing  

Please thoroughly read System Sensor manual which 
provides detailed information on detector spacing, place-
ment, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of 
this manual are available at no charge from System 
Sensor. 
 

NOTICE

: This manual shall be left with the owner/user 

of this equipment. 
 

IMPORTANT: 

This detector must be tested and main-

tained regularly in accordance with the requirements of 
the local standards and regulations. The detector should be 
cleaned at least once a year.

General Description 

Model 885WP-B is a 2-wire fixed temperature (63

q

C) heat 

detector. This detector is designed to provide open area 
protection in areas subject to moisture. This detector is 
sealed against the entry of moisture to a rating of IP67. 
The LED will latch on when the detector is in alarm. 

 
Mounting 

Each 885WP-B detector is used with a mounting base that 
permits the detector to be mounted directly to a 50 mm or 
60 mm junction box.  
 

Tamper-resistant Feature 

This detector includes a tamper-resistant feature that 
prevents its removal from the mounting base without the 
use of a key. To make the detector tamper-resistant, 
remove the tab from the tamper arm on the mounting base 
using a cutting tool. Remove the tamper key from the 
center of the mounting base by twisting it back and forth 
several times (see 

Figure2

). Once the detector is installed, 

it may be removed from the mounting base by inserting 
the T-shaped end of the key into the slot on the side of the 
unit and rotating the detector counter-clockwise. 

 
Wiring Installation Guidelines  

This detector provides six wires which are divided into 
three groups, separately two red, two white and two black 
wires. Refer to 

Figure 3.
