NOTIFIER 1451 2 Wire and 4 Wire Ionization Smoke Detector Instruction Manual

General

The System Sensor 400 Series plug-in ionization smoke detectors respond quickly to both fast flaming and slow smoldering fires as required by UL 268. Unipolar dual chamber sensor has the sensitivity needed to quickly detect smoke, and the stability needed to avoid false alarms.

Features

  • Unique dual unipolar sensor:
    • Provides exceptional stability.
    • Factory preset at 1.9% nominal sensitivity.
    • Stable operation up to 1,200 feet per minute (6 meters per second) air velocities.
  • Removable cover for field cleaning.
  • Two visible LEDs “blink” in standby.
  • Sealed against dirt, insects, and back pressure.
  • Three-year limited warranty.
  • Field metering of detector sensitivity.
  • Built-in test switch.
  • Low standby current.
  • Built-in tamper-resistant feature.
  • Designed for direct surface or electrical box mounting.
  • 360° field viewing angle of the visual alarm LEDs.
  • Insect-resistant screening (0.020″/0.508 mm openings).
  • Easy plug-in of the head to base.
  • SEMS screws for easy wiring.
  • Optional recess mounting.
  • Field-adjustable sensitivity

Applications

Use to contribute to life safety, fire protection, and property conservation. Superior to photoelectric detectors in detecting fast-flaming fires. Superior to bipolar detectors in avoiding false alarm

Construction & Operation

All 400 Series plug-in ionization smoke detectors contain a unique dual- source, dual unipolar chamber detection design which will sense the presence of smoke particles produced by fast combustion as well as slow smoldering fires. Additional key features include a blinking LED standby status indicator, an easily visible alarm indication, and provision for convenient field test and metering.

The back of the detector is sealed to block back-pressure air flow. The chamber is protected by a fine mesh (0.020″/0.508 mm) screen to minimize problems with dust, dirt, and insects. If cleaning is required, it is easy to remove the cover (with a special tool) and obtain access to the screen and chamber to perform a thorough cleaning.

Installation

Model 1451 detectors are intended for use with Notifier ULlisted control panels. Maximum number of detectors per zone is listed in the installation manual for each control panel. Easy
Installation

Ionization Detector shown with B401B Base

to install and maintain, this detector is designed for direct surface mounting (using one of the B400 Series bases listed below). Easy-to-wire screw terminals allow fast and simple field wiring of IN, OUT, and remote annunciator connections.

Consult Notifier control panel specifications for the maximum allowable loop resistance for the particular control panel to be used.

To prevent wiring mistakes, observe polarities and make certain that each conductor is identifiable. A copy of Installation and Maintenance Instructions is packaged with each detector. For further information, refer to NFPA 72 “Standard on Automatic Fire Detectors.”

A Mounting Base Selection Guide is included on page 2 of this document.

Junction Box Selection Guide: Box depth is contingent on base and wire size. Refer to National Electrical Code or local applicable codes for appropriate recommendations. Bases B401 and B401B can utilize a single-gang, 3-1/2″ (88.9 mm) octagonal, 4″ (101.6 mm) octagonal, or 4″ square junction box. Bases B402B and B406B can utilize a single-gang, 3-1/2″ octagonal, 4″ octagonal, 4″ square, 50 mm, 60 mm, or 75 mm junction box. Base B404B can utilize a 4″ octagonal or 4″ square junction box.
