Before Installing
Please thoroughly read the System Sensor manual I56-407,
Applications Manual for System Smoke Detectors, which
provides detailed information on detector spacing, place-
ment, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of
this manual are available at no charge from System Sensor.
(For installation in Canada refer to CAN/ULC-S524, Stan-
dard 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
Models 1151 and 1151A ionization detectors use state-of-
the-art sensing chambers. These detectors are designed to
provide open area protection, and to be used with compat-
ible UL-listed control panels only. The capability of plug-
ging these detectors into a variety of special bases makes
them more versatile than equivalent direct-wired models.

-10° to 60° C (14° to 140° F)
Note: Do not install in locations where normal ambient temperature range extends
beyond 0° to 49°C (32° to 120° F)
10% to 93% Relative Humidity, Noncondensing
Reset by momentary power interruption
Two LEDs on each detector light to provide a local 360° vis-
ible alarm indication. Remote LED annunciator capability
is available as an optional accessory. These detectors also
have the latching alarm feature. The alarm can be reset
only by a momentary power interruption. For testing, these
detectors have an internal magnetically activated reed
switch.
Spacing
Spacing of 30 ft. on a smooth ceiling as per NFPA 72.
Where conditions or response requirements vary, other
spacing may apply.
Base Selection and Wiring Guide
Refer to the installation instructions for the plug-in detector
bases for wiring instructions. System Sensor has available a
variety of detector bases for this smoke detector, including
2-wire applications with and without relays and/or current
limiting resistors, 4-wire and 120 VAC applications. (Note:
the 120 VAC detector base is not available in Canada.)
All bases are provided with screw terminals for power,
ground, remote annunciator connections, and relay contact
connections, if applicable. The electrical ratings for each
detector-base combination are also included in the base in-
stallation instructions.
