Please read thoroughly System Sensor manual A05-1003, Applications Guide
for System Smoke Detectors, which provides detailed information on detector
spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this
manual are available from System Sensor at no charge.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following
NFPA 72 requirements. At a minimum, cleaning should be performed annually.

Models 2W-B and 2WT-B are 2-wire photoelectric smoke detectors; models
4W-B and 4WT-B are 4-wire photoelectric smoke detectors. All models in-
corporate a state-of-the-art optical sensing chamber and an advanced micro-
processor. 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 prop-
erly, 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. Mod-
els 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.
All i 3 Series detectors are designed to provide open area protection. Two-wire
models must be used with compatible UL Listed panels only.
When used with an i 3 Series compatible control panel or the i 3 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.
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.
Two LEDs on the detector provide a local visual indication of the detector’s status:
TabLe 1: deTeCTor Led modeS
Green LED Red LED
Power-up Blink 10 sec Blink 10 sec
Normal (standby) Blink 5 sec —
Out of sensitivity — Blink 5 sec
Freeze Trouble — Blink 10 sec
Alarm — Solid
After an initial power-up delay, the red and green LEDs will blink synchro-
nously once every ten seconds. It will take approximately 80 seconds for the
detector to finish the power-up cycle (see Table 2).
