Mounting
Each 2112/24ATR detector is supplied with a mounting
bracket that permits the detector to be mounted:
1. To a single gang box, or
2. Directly to a 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch octagonal box, or
3. To a 4 inch square electrical box by using a plaster ring.
4. Directly to the ceiling using drywall anchors, if

permitted by local codes and/or the authority having
jurisdiction.

Tamper-resistant Feature
This detector includes a tamper-resistant feature that pre-
vents its removal from the bracket without the use of a tool.
To make the detector tamper-resistant, remove the smaller
tab by breaking it at the scribed line on the tamper resistant
tab on the detector mounting bracket (see Figure 3), then
install the detector. To remove the detector from the bracket
once it has been made tamper resistant, use a small screw-
driver to depress the tamper-resistant tab, located in the
slot on the mounting bracket, and turn the detector coun-
terclockwise.

Wiring Installation Guidelines
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Na-
tional Electrical Code, applicable local codes, and any spe-
cial requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.
Proper wire gauges should be used. The conductors used to
connect smoke detectors to control panels and accessory
devices should be color-coded to reduce the likelihood of
wiring errors. Improper connections can prevent a system
from responding properly in the event of a fire.

The screw terminal block accepts 14 – 22 gauge wire. For
best system performance, all wiring should be installed in
separate grounded conduit. Do not mix fire system wiring
in the same conduit as any other electrical wiring. Twisted
pair may be used to provide additional protection against
electrical interference.

Smoke detectors and alarm system control panels have
specifications for allowable loop resistance. Consult the
control panel specifications for the total loop resistance al-
lowed for the control panel being used before wiring the
detector loops.

General Description
Model 2112/24ATR is a 4-wire photoelectronic smoke de-
tector that uses a state-of-the-art optical sensing chamber.
This detector also provides restorable, 135˚F fixed-tem-
perature heat detection. The units have a heat detection
unit that is integrated with the photoelectronic sensor.
In addition, a piezoelectric horn in each detector produces
an interrupted, 85 dBA tone when the individual detector
alarms or when the supply voltage polarity is reversed.

NOTE: In order for all detectors on a loop to sound when
the panel alarms, the panel must reverse the supply volt-
age polarity to that loop upon alarm. For panels that do
not reverse the polarity during alarm, a reversing relay,
such as Systems Sensor’s RR-2, must be used. The RR-2
is designed to allow all the detectors in the same loop to
sound when one of the detectors goes into alarm. Some
panels may require the use of programmable outputs.
Refer to System Sensor literature for further information
on the RR-2.

Installation of this detector is simplified by the use of a
mounting bracket and a plug-in screw terminal block that
can be prewired to the system, allowing the detector to be
easily installed or removed for cleaning. The detector’s
sensitivity can be tested in place using the MOD400R Test
Module.

An LED on the detector provides a local visual indication of
the detector’s status. If power is applied to the detector and
it is functioning normally in standby within the listed sensi-
tivity range, the status LED blinks every ten seconds. The
LED also latches on in alarm.

If the LED stops blinking, the unit should be removed for
maintenance and inspection.

Wire connections are made by stripping about 1/4 inch of
insulation from the end of the feed wire, inserting the wire
into the appropriate terminal, and tightening the screw to
secure the wire in place.

Installation

WARNING

Remove power from the control unit or initiating device cir-
cuits before installing detectors.

1. Wire the plug-in screw terminal block per Figure 1 and

plug the terminal block into the detector.

2. Align the arrows on the detector with the arrows on the

mounting bracket.

3. Turn the detector clockwise in the mounting bracket un-

til it clicks into place.

4. After all detectors have been installed, apply power to

the control unit or initiating device circuits.

5. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
6. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
7. Notify the proper authorities the system is in operation.

CAUTION

Dust covers are an effective way to limit the entry of dust
into smoke detector sensing chambers. However, they may
not completely prevent airborne dust particles from enter-
ing the detector. Therefore, System Sensor recommends the
removal of detectors before beginning construction or other
dust producing activity. Be sure to remove dust covers from
any sensors that were left in place during construction as
part of returning the system to service.

Testing
NOTE: Before testing, notify the proper authorities that

the smoke detector system is undergoing mainte-
nance and will be temporarily out of service. Dis-
able the zone or system undergoing maintenance
to prevent unwanted alarms.

Detectors must be tested after installation and following
periodic maintenance. Test the 2112/24ATR as follows:
A. Test Switch

1. A recessed test switch is located on the detector hous-

ing (See Figure 4).

2. Press and hold the recessed test switch with a 0.18

inch maximum diameter tool such as an allen wrench
or small screwdriver.

3. The detector’s LED should light within 5 seconds.

B. Test Module (System Sensor Model No. MOD400R).

The MOD400R test module can be used with a DMM or
analog voltmeter to check the detector sensitivity as de-
scribed in the test module’s manual.

C. Smoke Entry Test

Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side
of the detector and gently blow smoke through the de-
tector until the unit alarms.

D. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)

Direct the heat toward either of the side thermistors.
Hold the heat source about 12 inches from the detector
in order to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has had sufficient time to cool and the
power source has been momentarily interrupted.

Both smoke and heat detection testing are recommended
for verifying system protection capability.

A detector that fails to activate with any of the above tests
should first be cleaned as outlined in MAINTENANCE. If
the detector still fails to activate, return it for repair.

Notify the proper authorities the system is back in
operation.

Maintenance
NOTE: Before removing the detector, notify the proper au-

thorities that the smoke detector system is under-
going maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service. Disable the zone or system undergoing
maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.

NOTE: Before removing the detector cover, note the posi-

tion of the thermistors. Make sure the thermistors
are not bent over when the housing is replaced.

1. Remove the detector housing by gently prying the four

housing tabs on the bottom of the base with a small-
bladed screwdriver and pull the housing from the base.
Use caution to avoid damaging the thermistors.

2. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it.
