General Description
This B401 plug-in detector base is used with System Sensor
smoke and heat detector heads. The capability 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.
The B401 base is intended for use in 2-wire systems, with
screw terminals provided for power and remote annuncia-
tor connections.
