General Description
This B401 plug-in detector base is used with System Sensor
smoke and heat detector heads. The capability 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.
The B401 base is intended for use in 2-wire systems, with
screw terminals provided for power and remote annuncia-
tor connections.
For use with the following detectors:
US Models: 1151, 1451, 2151, 2451, 2451TH, 5451
European Models: 1151E, 1451E, 2151E, 2451E, 5451E
Australian Models: 1151AUS, 1451AUS, 2151AUS, 2451AUS, 4451AUS
5451AUS, 51A51, 51B51, 51C51, 51D51

Mounting
Figure 1 shows mechanical mounting details. These detec-
tor bases mount to typical junction boxes. Attach the base
to the box using the screws supplied with the junction box.
Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with applicable
codes and the authority having jurisdiction. Proper wire
gauges should be used. The conductors used to connect
smoke detectors 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.
For signal wiring (the wiring between interconnected
detectors), it is recommended that the wire be no smaller
than 18 gauge. Wire sizes up to 12 gauge may be used with
the base. For best system performance, the power (+) and
(–) loop wires should be twisted pair and installed in sepa-
rate grounded conduit to protect the loop from extraneous
electrical interference.
Smoke detectors and alarm system control panels have
specifications for allowable loop resistance. Consult the
control panel manufacturer’s specifications for the total
loop resistance allowed for the control panel being used
before wiring the detector loops.
Wiring Instructions
CAUTION
Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire run to ensure
supervision of connections.
Wire connections are made by stripping about 3⁄8” of insu-
lation from the end of the wire (use strip gauge molded in
base), sliding the bare end of the wire under the clamping
plate, and tightening the clamping plate screw.
Two-wire initiating devices receive their power from the
initiating circuit of a control panel. Electrical specifications
of the control panel and the detector-base combination
must be compatible for the system to function properly.
System Sensor maintains a list of two-wire detectors and
control panels that are listed as compatible. The 2-Wire
Compatibility Chart is available from System Sensor at no
charge.
The zone wiring of the detector bases should be checked
before the detector heads are installed. To make this pos-
sible, this base contains a special spring-type shorting
jumper (shown in Figure 1). After a detector base is prop-
2 I56-0338-010R
03-11
erly wired and mounted to an electrical box, make sure
that the shorting spring is in contact with terminal 3. This
temporary connection permits the wiring of the loop to be
checked for continuity before installation of the detector
heads. The shorting spring in the base automatically disen-
gages when the detector head is removed from the base. DO
NOT remove the shorting spring since it reengages as the
detector head is turned in the base, completing the circuit.
Tamper-resistance Feature
This detector includes an optional tamper-resistance fea-
ture that prevents its removal from the base without the
use of a tool.
NOTE: DO NOT use the tamper-resistant feature if the XR-
5 or XR-2 removal tool is to be used.
To make the detector tamper-resistant, remove the smaller
tab by breaking it at the scribed line on the tamper-resis-

tant tab before installing the detector (see Figure 3A). The
tamper-resistant tab is on the detector mounting base.
To remove a tamper-resistant detector from the base, use a
pocket screwdriver, or similar tool, to depress the tamper-
resistant tab and turn the detector counterclockwise. The
tab is accessible through the slot on the mounting base (see
Figure 3B).
The tamper-resistance feature can be defeated by breaking
and removing the plastic lever from the base. However, this
permanently disables the tamper-resistance feature.
Optional Remote Annunciator Units
The model RA400Z remote LED annunciator is available
as an optional accessory. This unit has a rectangular plate
that fits U.S. single-gang light switch boxes. If a different
type of remote annunciator is used, it must be rated for the
appropriate voltage, which is 2.75 to 3.0V.
