(102 g) Before Installing Please read the system wiring and installation manual, I56407. This manual includes detailed information on sensor spacing, placement, zoning, and special applications. Copies of this manual are available from System Sensor. WARNING Disconnect loop power before installing sensors. 1. Sensor Installation a. Set the sensor to the desired address and record that address on the label attached to the base. b. Insert the sensor into the base and rotate it clockwise until it drops into place. c. Continue to rotate the sensor until it locks into the base. General Description Model 1251 intelligent ionization sensor uses a state-of-theart sensing chamber. These sensors are designed to provide open area protection and are intended for use with compatible control panels only. CAUTION Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide a local, visible sensor indication. The LEDs can be latched on by code command from the control panel for an alarm indication. The LEDs can also be unlatched to the normal condition by code command. Remote LED annunciator capability is also available as an optional accessory (RA400Z). Dust covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust into smoke detector sensing chambers. However, they may not completely prevent airborne dust particles from entering the detector. Therefore, System Sensor recommends the removal of detectors before beginning construction or other dust producing activity. Be sure to remove dust covers from any sensors that were left in place during construction as part of returning the system to service. Wiring Guide Refer to the installation instructions for the plug-in base being used. As indicated in Figure 1, terminals for power, ground, and the optional RA400Z Remote Annunciator are included in the base. Base Models B210LP (shown in Figure 1) and B501 are electrically identical. NOTE: All wiring must conform to all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations. NOTE: Verify that all sensor bases are installed and that polarity of the wiring is correct at each base.

Tamper-Resistance Model 1251 includes a tamper-resistant capability that prevents their removal from the bracket without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual for details on making use of this capability. 3. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the system. 4. See Figure 2. Test the sensor by positioning a test magnet against the sensor plastic just to the left of LED1. The alarm level should be recognized at the panel and the LED controlled by communication command from the panel. 5. Reset the sensor by communication command from the panel. In addition, check to ensure that the LEDs blink. If they do not, power has been lost to the detector (check the wiring), or it is defective (return it for repair). Test the sensors as follows: A. Test Magnet (p/n M02-04-01 or M02-09-00) 1. Test the sensor by positioning the optional test magnet against the sensor plastic just to the left of LED1, as shown in Figure 2. 2. Both LEDs should latch on within 30 seconds, indicating an alarm and annunciating the panel. B. Aerosol Generator in accordance with NFPA 72. The Gemini Model 501 aerosol generator can be used to test the sensor. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration, following the instructions in the generator manual. Use a bowl shaped applicator to apply aerosol to the sensor. It should alarm after 30 seconds. Testing Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance. However, before testing, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance and the system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms. D200-51-00 2 I56-548-07R Figure 2. Test Magnet positioning: A78-2424-07 Cleaning Before cleaning, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service. Disable the system to prevent unwanted alarms. 1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system. 2. Remove the sensor cover. Use a small standard screwdriver to release each of the four cover removal tabs that hold the cover in place. 3. Vacuum the outside of the screen carefully without removing it. 4. Remove the sensor screen. Pull the screen straight away from the sensing chamber until it snaps out of place. Replacement screens are available. 5. Use a vacuum cleaner or clean, compressed air to remove dust and debris from the sensing chamber. 6. Reinstall or replace the sensing chamber screen by sliding the edge without the tabs over the sensing chamber. Make sure that one of the Screen Contacts touches the Circuit Board Contact. 7. Reinstall the sensor cover. Use the LEDs to align the cover with the sensor. Snap the cover into place. 8. When all sensors have been cleaned, restore power to the system and test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual. Figure 3: D200-51-00 3 I56-548-07R Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems Three-Year Limited Warranty System Sensor warrants its enclosed smoke detector to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date of manufacture.
