Before Installing
Please read the System Sensor manual I56-407, Guide for
Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which provides
detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zon-
ing, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this manual
are available at no charge from System Sensor. (For instal-
lations in Canada, refer to CAN4-S524, Standard for the
Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, and CEC Part 1, Sec. 32.)
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: The detector used with this base must be
tested and maintained regularly following NFPA 72 require-
ments. The detector used with this base should be cleaned
at least once a year.

General Description
The plug-in detector base B402B is used with System
Sensor model 2451 and 2451TH photoelectronic detector
heads, and model 1451 ionization detector head. The capa-
bility 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.
This B402B base is intended for use in 4-wire systems, with
screw terminals provided for power, remote annunciator,
and relay contact connections. These bases also contain a
resistor to provide current limiting in the alarm state.
