Before Installing
This sensor must be installed in compliance with the con-
trol panel system installation manual. The installation must
meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ). Sensors offer maximum performance when installed
in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA); see NFPA 72.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This sensor should be cleaned at least once a
year. If cleaning is performed with non-intrinsically safe
equipment, it must be conducted outside the hazardous
area.
General Description
Model 2251EIS is an intrinsically-safe, plug-in type smoke
sensor that combines a photoelectronic sensing chamber
with addressable-analog communications. The sensor trans-
mits an analog representation of smoke density over a regu-
lated communication line, through a barrier, to an intelligent
system translator (sold separately, IST200). The translator
then relays the analog information 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.
Wiring Instructions
All wiring must be installed in compliance with all appli-
cable national codes of practice and regulations (e.g. in the
UK, EN60079-14; 1997). The installation wires should be
shielded and properly grounded.

The system must be marked with a system label that is
packed with the 2251EIS. This label must be placed on or
adjacent to the principal item of electrical apparatus in the
system, or at the interface between the intrinsically safe
and non-intrinsically safe circuits.
Remove power from the communication line before
installing sensors.
All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, ordi-
nances, and regulations.
