General Description
The B401BR750 plug-in detector base is used with System
Sensor model 2451 and 2451TH photoelectronic detector
heads and model 1451A ionization detector heads. The ca-
pability of plugging these detectors into a variety of special
bases makes them more versatile than equivalent direct-
wired models. Refer to the System Sensor catalog for other
available plug-in detector bases.
This base is intended for use in 2-wire systems, with screw
terminals provided for power, ground, and remote annun-
ciator connections. It also contains a resistor to provide
current limiting in the alarm state.
