• CleanMe Mode: Indicates if the calibration is out of
the factory-listed range by sending a trouble signal to
the CleanMe-compatible control panel, if so
programmed.
• Chambermaid: The detector has a unique cleaning
mechanism. Use the valve on the back of the detector
to insert the nozzle of a can of clean, dry compressed
air. Clean the chamber with a short (1 to 2 sec) blast
of air.
Heat and Carbon Monoxide Enhancements
The detectors are available with an optional fixed-
temperature heat sensor, a carbon monoxide (CO)
sensor, or a combination of heat and CO sensors.
These optional sensors enhance the operation of the
smoke detector by reducing false alarms.
• Carbon Monoxide: Without the presence of CO, a
normal byproduct of combustion, the detection
chamber is half as sensitive to smoke as a standard
commercial photoelectric smoke chamber. This
reduces false alarms. When the sensor detects CO,
the detection chamber's sensitivity to smoke
increases so it equals or exceeds that of a standard
commercial photoelectric smoke chamber.
Notice
The F220-PTHC detects carbon monoxide (CO) as
a component of a fire. It is not a CO detector and
cannot activate an alarm in the presence of CO
only.
• Heat: When the heat sensor detects a temperature
rise, the photoelectric chamber becomes more smoke
sensitive. The heat sensor initiates an alarm if the
ambient temperature exceeds +135°F (+57°C).
Dual-color LED
A dual-color LED indicator flashes green every 8 sec
when the detector has power and the smoke sampling
circuitry is working. If CleanMe is enabled, the green
LED double flashes (two flashes a half second apart)
every 8 sec to indicate normal operation. The LED
turns red if an alarm is sent. After the alarm condition
clears, reset the detector by interrupting its power. If
the chamber becomes contaminated beyond its ability
to compensate, the green LED flashes every 4 sec to
indicate trouble.
Test Functions
The F220 Photoelectric Smoke Detectors feature a
unique magnet operation and sensitivity test function.
Test the detector's operation by placing the magnet
next to the detector's LED for three consecutive
flashes. This causes the detector to send an alarm.
Placing a magnet next to the detector's LED for at
least one red flash but less than three flashes activates
the detector's sensitivity mode.
Tamper Detection
When detector heads are correctly installed in any of
the F220-B6 bases, the positive power line provides
tamper detection. The control panel initiates a trouble
signal if a detector is removed from its base. A
mechanical tamper lock comes with each base to
prevent unauthorized head removal.

Installation/configuration notes
Compatible Control Panels
Addressable Systems: compatible with addressable
systems controlled by D9412GV2, D7412GV2,
D9412G, or D7412G Control Panels or the D9124 Fire
Alarm Control Panel when used with the F220-B6PM
or F220-B6PS Addressable Detector Bases.
Two-wire: Bosch Security Systems, Inc. makes no
claim written, oral, or implied that the F220
Photoelectric Smoke Detectors work with any two-
wire control panels except those specified in the
Control Panel Compatibility chart in the Technical
Service Note (P/N: 4998148185).
Four-wire: compatible with all UL Listed four-wire
control panels. Refer to the control panel's installation
instructions for proper end-of-line (EOL) resistor
selection.
Mounting the Bases
Notice
Consult NFPA‑72 for proper detector placement.
Depending on local regulations, the bases can be
surface mounted directly on four-inch square or
octagonal electrical boxes and single-gang switch
boxes.
Notice
The volume of any electrical box used should be
large enough to accommodate the number and
size of conductors as specified by the National
Electrical Code or any local authorities having
jurisdiction (AHJ).
