Before installing sensors, refer to NFPA 72, and 101 (Life Safety Code) for information on sensor spacing, placement, zoning, and special applications.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Model 5251P is an intelligent sensor that utilizes a state-of-the-art thermistor sensing circuit for fast response. This sensor
is designed to provide open area protection with 50 foot spacing capability and is intended for use with compatible control panels only.
Two LEDs on each sensor light to provide 360° visibility of the sensor indication. The LEDs can be latched ON by code
command from the panel for an alarm indication. The LEDs can also be unlatched to the normal condition by code command. Remote LED annunciator capability is available as an optional accessory (Part No. RA400Z).

WIRING GUIDE
Refer to the installation instructions for the particular plug-in base being used: 1) for the B210LP base (D250-01-00); 2) for
the B501 base (D550-02-00); 3) for the RMK400 used with the B501 base (D450-07-00). Bases are provided with screw terminals for power, ground, and remote annunciator connections. See Figure 1.

NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
NOTE: Verify that all sensor bases are installed and that the wiring polarity is correct at each base.
WARNING:
Disconnect the power from the loop before installing sensors.
1. Install Sensors:
a. Verify that the sensor type matches the type written on the label in the base.
b. Set the sensor to a desired address and then write the address on the label on the base.
c. Place the sensor into the sensor base.
d. Turn the sensor clockwise until it drops into place.
e. Continue turning the sensor clockwise to lock it in place.

2. Tamper Resistance:
The sensor bases have a tamper-resistant capability. When this capability is enabled, sensors cannot be removed from
the base without the use of a small screwdriver or other similar tool. Refer to the sensor base installation instruction
manual for details in using this capability.
3. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit.
4. Test the sensor by placing a small magnet against the sensor plastic, as shown in Figure 2. The alarm level should be
recognized in the panel and the LED controlled by communication command from the panel.
5. The reset of the sensor LED is controlled by communication command from the panel.
TESTING
Sensors must be tested after installation and periodic maintenance. The sensor may be tested in the following ways.
A. Test Magnet (Model No. M02-04)
1. Place the magnet against the cover in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 2 to activate the test feature.
2. The LEDs should latch ON within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and annunciating the panel.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
B. Test sensitivity from the control panel.
C. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)
1. From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold the heat source about 6 inches (15cm) away to
prevent damage to the cover during testing.

2. The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the detector reaches 135° F (57° C). If the LEDs fail
to light, check the power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
Detectors that fail these tests should be cleaned as described under MAINTENANCE and retested. If the detectors still fail
these tests they should be returned for repair.

MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Before cleaning notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing maintenance, and therefore the system
will temporarily be out of service. Disable the loop or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted
alarms.
It is recommended that the sensor be removed from its mounting base for easier cleaning and that sensors be cleaned at
least once a year. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the sensing chamber. See Figure 3.

Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed heat 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. System Sensor makes no other
express warranty for this heat detector. 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
heat detector which is found to be defective in materials or workmanship
