Mounting Base
Options
System Sensor mounting bases and kits provide a variety
of installation options for detectors in any application.

Features To meet local code and application requirements,

System Sensor offers standard 4" and 6" bases, as well as,
• Bases enable quick and secure detector plug-in

• SEMS screws provide easy wiring connection frequency sounder options for Select Series detectors.
• Support for 12-24 AWG provides installation flexibility The standard 4" and 6" bases offer a plug-in detector base intended
for use in intelligent systems, with screw terminals provided for power

• Pre-wired mounting plate simplifies installation connections to speed and simplify installation.
• Application driven feature sets Relay bases (B224RB-WH/B224RB-IV) provide one form C contact

elevator recall. The relay can operate in two different modes (short
and long delay). The activation time for the short delay is 60 ms to
100 ms, while the activation time for the long delay is 6 sec to 10 sec.
A shunt with pin headers, located on the base PC board, is used to
set the delay timing.
Isolator bases (B224BI-WH/B224BI-IV) allow the Signaling Line
Circuit (SLC) loop to operate under fault conditions created from a
short circuit preventing an entire communication loop from being
disabled. The base isolates the section of the loop containing the
short circuit from the remainder of the circuit and automatically
restores when the fault is corrected.

are designed for new and existing dwelling unit applications.
They offer maximum flexibility in installation, configuration, and
operation to meet or exceed UL 268 and UL 464 requirements. The
