1-800-SENSOR2, FAX: 630-377-6495
Before Installing
Please thoroughly read the System Sensor manual A05-
1003, Applications Guide for System Smoke Detectors. This
manual provides detailed information on detector spacing,
placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies
of this manual are available at no charge from System
Sensor (For installations in Canada refer to CAN4-S524,
Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems and
CEC Part 1, Sec. 32).
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This sensor must be tested and maintained
regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. This sensor
should be cleaned at least once a year.
General Description
System Sensor 2400 photoelectronic detectors use state-
of-the-art, optical sensing chambers. These detectors are
designed to provide open area protection, and are intended
for use with compatible UL-listed 2-wire control panels
only. The detector’s operation and sensitivity can be tested
in place. Model 2400TH has the same specifications as

model 2400, but also features a restorable, built-in, fixed
temperature (135°F) thermal detection unit.
These detectors are listed to UL 268 and are latching type
system detectors. When latched in alarm, the detectors
must be reset by a momentary power interruption.
An LED on the detector provides a local indication of the
detector’s status. This LED blinks every 10 seconds when
the detector is receiving power and ready in standby and
is latched on continuously in alarm until the detector is
reset. The detector provides an output for connection to
an optional Remote Annunciator (Model RA400Z). The
Remote Annunciator mounts to a single gang box and pro-
vides a supplementary alarm indication.
Spacing
NFPA 72E defines the spacing requirements for smoke
detectors, typically 30 feet when detectors are installed on
a smooth ceiling. However, ALL installations must comply
with NFPA 72 and/or special requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.
