WIRINg INSTRUCTIONS
The shorting spring in the base will disengage automatically when the detec-
tor head is removed from the base.
DO NOT remove the shorting spring since it reengages as the detector head is
turned into the base, completing the circuit.
A typical wiring for a two-wire conventional system is shown in Figure 3. Re-
fer to this diagram as needed while wiring the base into the system.
NOTE: Figure 3 shows external 24V supply polarity when the loop system is
in standby (NOT alarming).
MOUNTINg
NOTE: It is recommended that the base be completely wired before mounting.
See Figure 4. Attach the base directly to an electrical box using the screws
supplied with the box. Then, use the plastic screw covers, supplied with the
base, to cover the screws.
The sounder base is 1.1 inches (28 mm) deep. Electrical boxes must be 4
inches (102 mm) square by at least 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) deep; 2-1/8 inches
(54 mm) is recommended.
TESTINg
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector system
is undergoing maintenance and that the system will be temporarily out of
service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent un-
wanted alarms.
Detectors and bases must be tested after installation and following periodic
maintenance.
Test the B401BH/B401BHA as follows:
1. Test the conventional detector head following the procedure in its manual.
The B401BH/B401BHA should sound approximately 10 seconds after the
detector alarms.
2. Reverse the polarity of the external 24 VDC supply. This should cause every
base in the loop to sound after approximately 10 seconds.
