System Sensor warrants its enclosed smoke detector base to be free from defects in mate-
rials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date
of manufacture. System Sensor makes no other express warranty for this smoke detector
base. No agent, representative, dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to
increase or alter the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation
of this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any part of the smoke
detector base which is found to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal
use and service during the three year period commencing with the date of manufacture.

BEfORE INSTALLINg
Please read the System Sensor Smoke Detector Application Guide, which pro-
vides detailed information on sensor spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and
special applications. Copies of this manual are available from System Sensor.
NFPA 72 and NEMA guidelines should be observed.
NOTICE
: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT
: The detector used with this base must be tested and maintained
regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector should be cleaned at
least once a year.
gENERAL DESCRIpTION
The B200SR sounder base is used with System Sensor 200-Series sensor heads
or equivalent. For a list of compatible sensors, refer to the System Sensor web-
site at www.systemsensor.com. Refer to the appropriate manual for more infor-
mation on sensors.
The B200SR sounder base was designed specifically to meet the needs of
dwelling unit applications. It offers maximum flexibility in configuration and
operation to meet or exceed the requirements of UL268 and UL464.
The sounder base is capable of producing either the distinctive three-pulse
temporal pattern (ANSI Temporal 3) fire alarm signal now required by NFPA
72 for commercial and residential applications or a continuous tone by simply
removing the included jumper from the device. Additionally, the B200SR is
designed to be compatible with existing installations of B501-Series sounder
bases.
The sounder base is intended for use with intelligent systems. The sounder
base requires an external 24 VDC power supply. The connections for the
external power supply and the communication loop are isolated to prevent
electrical interaction between them. Refer to the panel manual for maximum
allowable number of units per loop.
NOTE
: For NFPA72 Installations, the Temporal 3 tone should be used for public
mode evacuation.
NOTE
: When not used as a supplementary evacuation system, the external 24
VDC supply shall be treated as a component of the main power supply system
and shall fall under the requirements of the main power supply system per
NFPA 72.

WIRINg gUIDELINES
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code
and the local codes having jurisdiction and must not be of such length or wire
size which would cause the base to operate outside of its published specifica-
tions. The conductors used to connect smoke sensors to control panels and
accessory devices should be color coded to reduce the likelihood of wiring
errors. Improper connections can prevent a system from responding properly
in the event of a fire.
Wire sizes up to 12 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) may be used with the base. The sounder
base will be shipped with the screw terminals set for 14 AWG wiring. If 12
AWG wire is to be used, back out the screws to allow the wire to fit beneath
the clamping plates. For best system performance, the power (+ and -) wires
and the communication circuit wires should be twisted pair or shielded cable
installed in a separate grounded conduit to protect the communication loop
from electrical interference.
Make wire connections by stripping about 3/8” of insulation from the end of
the wire. Then, slide the bare end of the wire under the appropriate clamping
plate (See Figure 1), and tighten the clamping plate screw. Do NOT loop the
wire under the clamping plate (See Figure 2) The wiring diagram for a typical
2-wire intelligent system is shown in Figure 4.
CAUTION
For system monitoring - for terminals 4 and 5, do not use looped wire under termi-
nals. Break wire run as shown in Figure 2 to provide monitoring of connections.
ThREE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Department, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174. Please include a
note describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure. The Company shall not
be obligated to repair or replace units which are found to be defective because of damage,
unreasonable use, modifications, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture.
In no case shall the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages for
breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever, even if the loss
or damage is caused by the Company’s negligence or fault. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
