BEFORE INSTALLING

This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system
installation manual. The installation must meet the requirements of the Au-
thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when
installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA);
see NFPA 72.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Model 2251BR is a plug-in type smoke sensors that combines a photoelec-
tronic sensing chamber with addressable-analog communications. The sensor
transmits an analog representation of smoke density over a communication
line to a control panel. Rotary-decade switches are provided for setting the
sensor's address.
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status.
An output is provided for connection to an optional remote LED annunciator
(P/N RA400Z/RA100Z).
When 2251BR is used in duct applications with a DNR/DNRW, testing can be
done remotely using approved System Sensor test accessories, eliminating the
need for a test coil.
NOTE: Only System Sensor approved accessories may be used with the
2251BR.
The 2251BR requires compatible addressable communications to function
properly. Connect the 2251BR sensor to listed-compatible control panels only.

SPACING

System Sensor recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In
low air flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart.
For specific information regarding sensor spacing, placement, and special ap-
plications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System Smoke Detector Application Guide,
available from System Sensor.
Duct Applications: 2251BR is listed for use in ducts. See Duct Applications
Guide A05-1004-XX for details on pendant mount applications.

WIRING GUIDE

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code,
applicable local codes, and any special requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction. Proper wire gauges should be used. The installation wires should
be color-coded to limit wiring mistakes and ease system troubleshooting. Im-
proper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the
event of a fire.
Remove power from the communication line before installing sensors.
1. Wire the sensor base (supplied separately) per the wiring diagram, Figure 1.
Set the desired address on the sensor address switches, see Figure 2.
2.
3. Install the sensor into the sensor base. Push the sensor into the base
while turning it clockwise to secure it in place.
4. After all sensors have been installed, apply power to the control unit and
activate the communication line.
5. Test the sensor(s) as described in the TESTING section of this manual.

Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during
shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke.
Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.

TENS
TAMPER-RESISTANCE
Model 2251BR includes a tamper-resistant capability that prevents its removal
from the bracket without the use of a tool. Refer to the base manual for details
on making use of this capability.

TESTING

Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to
prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing
methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer max-
imum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72.
The sensor can be tested in the following ways:
A. Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test mag-
net electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the
sensor electronics and connections to the control panel.
1. Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.
2. The sensor should alarm the panel.
