Before Installing
Please thoroughly read the System Sensor manual I56-407,
Guide for Proper Use of 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.
NFPA 72 and NEMA should be observed. (For installa-
tion in Canada, refer to CAN/ULC-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 these bases must
be tested and maintained regularly following NFPA 72
requirements. The detector used with these bases should
be cleaned at least once a year.

General Description
Models B401BH and B401BHA sounder bases are intended
for use with System Sensor 400 Series plug-in sensor heads
in conventional 2-wire plug-in systems. Refer to systems
manuals for the maximum allowable number of units per
loop. The B401BH requires an external 24VDC (nominal)
supply with reverse polarity capability. The connections of
the external supply (terminals 1 and 2) and the initiating
loop (terminals 3, 4, and 5) are isolated in the B401BH to
prevent electrical interaction between them.
When the detector head's visible LEDs are latched on for
approximately 10 seconds, the associated horn sounds. A
loop of horns can be made to sound by reversing the polar-
ity of the external supply.
NOTE: When the associated system is NOT used as a sup-

plementary evacuation system, the external 24VDC
supply must be treated as a component of the main
power supply system with the result that it falls
under the requirements of NFPA 72.
