Photoelectric Smoke Detector
Models: 2W-B, 2WT-B
4W-B, 4WT-B
Before Installing
Two LEDs on the detector provide a local visual indication of the
detector’s status:
Please read thoroughly System Sensor manual A05-1003,
Applications Guide for System Smoke Detectors, which provides
detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wir-
ing, and special applications. Copies of this manual are available
from System Sensor at no charge.

IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regu-
larly following NFPA 72 requirements. At a minimum, cleaning
should be performed annually.
After an initial power-up delay, the red and green LEDs will blink
synchronously once every ten seconds. It will take approximately 80
seconds for the detector to finish the power-up cycle (see Table 2).
General Description
Models 2W-B and 2WT-B are 2-wire photoelectric smoke detec-
tors; models 4W-B and 4WT-B are 4-wire photoelectric smoke
detectors. All models incorporate a state-of-the-art optical sensing
chamber and an advanced microprocessor. The microprocessor
allows the detector to automatically adjust its sensitivity back
to the factory setting when it becomes more sensitive due to
contaminants settling in its chamber. In order for this feature
to work properly, the chamber must never be opened while
power is applied to the smoke detector. This includes cleaning,
maintenance or screen replacement. Should it become necessary,
the screen/sensing chamber is field replaceable. Models 2WT-B
and 4WT-B also feature a restorable, built-in, fixed temperature
(135°F) thermal detector and are also capable of sensing a freeze
condition if the temperature is below 41°F.

*Refer to Electrical Specifications for start-up time in conjunction with panel alarm
verification.
NOTE: If, during power-up, the detector determines there is
excessive electrical noise in the system such as those caused by
improper grounding of the system or the conduit, both LEDs will
blink for up to 4 minutes before displaying detector status (see
Table 2).
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning
normally within its listed sensitivity range, the green LED blinks
once every five seconds. If the detector is in need of maintenance
because its sensitivity has shifted outside the listed limits, the red
LED blinks once every five seconds. When the detector is in the
alarm mode, the red LED latches on. The LED indication must not
be used in lieu of the tests specified under Testing. In a freeze
trouble condition, the red LED will blink once every 10 seconds
(refer to Table 1).
All i3 Series detectors are designed to provide open area protec-
tion. Two-wire models must be used with compatible UL Listed
panels only.
When used with an i3 Series compatible control panel or the i3
Series 2W-MOD module (refer to installation manual D500-46-00),
the 2W-B and 2WT-B are capable of generating a “maintenance
needed” signal. The 2W-MOD can indicate a need for cleaning,
replacement, or a freeze condition (2WT-B only) at the control
panel or module.
To measure the detector’s sensitivity, the i3 Series Model SENS-
RDR Infrared Sensitivity Reader tool (see Figure 4) should be
used.
Installation of the 2W-B, 2WT-B, 4W-B, and 4WT-B detectors is
simplified by the use of a mounting base that may be pre-wired
to the system, allowing the detector to be easily installed or
removed. The mounting base installation is further simplified by
the incorporation of features compatible with drywall fasteners.
Models 2W-B and 2WT-B also include an output that allows an
optional Model RA400Z Remote Annunciator to be connected.
Mounting
Each i3 Series detector is supplied with a mounting base that can
be mounted:
1. To a single gang box, or
2. To a 31⁄2-inch or 4-inch octagonal box, or
3. To a 4-inch square box with a plaster ring, or
4. Direct mount or to ceiling using drywall fasteners (Figure 2).

detector’s red LED should light within five seconds.
2-Wire i3 Detector Wired in Style D Configuration:
CAUTION
Figure 5: Recessed Test Switch Opening and SENS-RDR
Position
Any 2-wire i3 smoke detector (2W-B, 2WT-B, 2WTA-B, or 2WTR-B)
wired in the Style D initiating device circuit (IDC) configuration
requires the use of a 2W-MOD2 module. This is because fire
alarm control panels vary by manufacturer on the implementa-
tion of Style D circuits. Therefore, the only way to insure proper
operation of 2-wire i3 smoke detectors (2W-B, 2WT-B, 2WTA-B, or
2WTR-B) on Style D IDC’s is to use a 2W-MOD2 module. Refer
to the 2W-MOD2 installation manual, document D500-46-00,
for Style D wiring diagrams. The 2W-MOD2 installation
manual may be downloaded from the System Sensor web site

WARNING
C. Direct Heat Method (models 2WT-B and 4WT-B only)
Using a 1000-1500 watt hair dryer, direct the heat toward either
of the thermistors. Hold the heat source about 12 inches from
the detector to avoid damage to the plastic.
Remove power from alarm control unit or initiating device circuits
before installing detectors.
NOTE: To install units so that corresponding LEDs are lined up,
refer to the “Green LED” indicator on the base.
1. Wire the mounting base screw terminals per Figure 3a or
Figure 3b, as applicable.
NOTE: For the above tests, the detector will reset only after the
power source has been momentarily interrupted.
2. Place detector on the base and rotate clockwise. The detector
will drop into the base and lock into place with a “click”.
3. After all detectors have been installed, apply power to the
alarm control unit.
If a detector fails any of the above test methods, its wiring should be
checked and it should be cleaned as outlined in the Maintenance
section. If the detector still fails, it should be replaced.
Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.
4. Test each detector as described in Testing.
5. Reset all the detectors at the alarm control unit.
6. Notify the proper authorities that the system is in operation.
Loop Verification (models 2W-B and 2WT-B only)
Loop verification is provided by the EZ Walk loop test feature.
This feature is for use with i3 Series compatible control panels or
the i3 Series 2W-MOD module only. The EZ Walk loop test verifies
the initiating loop wiring and provides visual status indication at
each detector.
CAUTION
Dust covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust into
the smoke detector sensing chamber. However, they may not
completely prevent airborne dust particles from entering the detec-
tor. Therefore, System Sensor recommends the removal of detectors
before beginning construction or other dust producing activity. When
returning the system to service, be sure to remove the dust covers
from any detectors that were left in place during construction.
1. Ensure proper wiring and power is applied. Wait approxi-
mately six minutes before performing EZ Walk test.
2. Place control panel or module in EZ Walk Test mode (refer
to panel manufacturer’s manual or 2W-MOD manual D500-
46-00).
3. Observe the LEDs on each detector:
