1.2 Required Maintenance and Testing

Keep the detector calibrated for proper operation. NFPA 72,

The National Fire Alarm Code, recommends performing

calibration tests at installation, then every other year.

Depending on local regulations, calibration testing might be

required more than once a year.

Perform functional testing yearly.

Test the calibration (to meet NFPA 72) using either the magnet

test or measuring the calibration with a calibrated product from

No Climb Products Ltd. Quickly determine the calibration by a

visual inspection of the detector’s LED (refer to Section 4.4

Flash Rate and Trouble Indication on page 22). These tests

confirm whether or not the detector is within its factory marked

calibration range.

At least once a year vacuum or wipe the external part of the

detector clean. Pay particular attention to the detector screens

in areas of heavy insect activity or dust. To clean the chamber,

NOTE! Notify all concerned parties before any

maintenance or testing of the fire alarm system and upon

completion of these activities.

use a can of clean, dry compressed air (such as TECHSPRAY

ENVI-RO-TECH Duster) which is available at office and alarm

supply stores. Shorten the plastic tube that comes with the

compressed air to about 2 in. (5 cm). Place the tube or needle

valve through the Chambermaid valve in the bottom of the

detector (refer to Figure 2.2 on page 7).

2 General Information

This document covers mounting, wiring, power requirements,

testing, and maintenance for the F220-B6, F220-B6C, F220-B6E,

and F220-B6R Detector Bases and the F220 Series Heat and

Photoelectric Smoke Detectors. Install them according to

NFPA 72.

For installation guidelines, refer to Installation Considerations

for Smoke and Fire Detectors (P/N: 26715).

NOTE! Do not paint the detectors. Paint or other foreign

matter covering the detector can prevent smoke

detection.

NOTE! For proper system installation, read and

understand NFPA-72 before installation.

NOTE! Bosch Security Systems, Inc. makes no claim

written, oral, or implied that the F220 Series Detectors

work with any two-wire control panels except those

specified in the Base Compatibility chart in Technical

Four-wire: Compatible with all UL Listed four-wire control

panels. Refer to the control panel manufacturer’s installation

instructions for proper end-of-line (EOL) resistor selection.

2.1.2 Base Comparisons

The F220-B6 is a two-wire base, while the F220-B6C, F220-B6E,

and F220-B6R are four-wire bases. All three of the four-wire

bases have a Form A alarm relay. In addition to the alarm relay,

the:

– F220-B6C has a Form C auxiliary alarm relay

– F220-B6E has a power supervision (EOL) relay

NOTE! Use the F220-B6RS when a built-in sounder is

needed. The F220-B6RS also has a Form A alarm relay.

Refer to the F220 Series Detectors with the F220-B6RS

Installation Manual (P/N: F01U029847).

For addressable systems, use the F220-B6PM

Addressable POPIT Master Base or F220-B6PS

The F220 Series Detector Heads listed inTable 2.1 each require

an F220-B6 Series Base.

(CO) as a component of a fire. Do not use the F220-PTHC

as a stand-alone CO detector.

2.2.4 F220 Series Smoke Detector Heads

The F220 Series Smoke Detector Heads are UL Listed, open-

area photoelectric smoke detectors that work with commercial

fire protective signaling systems and household fire warning

systems. Select the appropriate mounting base to configure the

detectors for two-wire or four-wire versions (refer to

Section 2.1.2 Base Comparisons on page 4).

To verify power to the detector and a functioning smoke

sampling circuitry, a dual color LED indicator flashes green

every eight seconds when operating normally. It flashes once

every four seconds when a trouble condition exists. If the

detector determines an alarm condition exists, the LED

changes from flashing green to steady red. The detector returns

to normal when power is interrupted and the alarm condition

clears.

Throughout its normal life cycle, the smoke detector monitors

and periodically adjusts itself to keep the sensitivity at its

factory calibrated level. When excessively dirty, the detector’s

LED flash rate changes from an eight second flash rate to a four

second rate. If CleanMe is selected, the detector sends a

CleanMe signal to the compatible control panel to indicate a

dirty smoke detector.

Refer to Section 4.3 Set CleanMe Feature on page 22.

providing tamper protection. An EOL power supervision

module, such as a D275 or an F220-B6E Power Supervision

Base and an EOL resistor as specified by the control panel

manufacturer, supervises power.

3 Install the Bases

3.1 Mount the Bases

With the exception of the F220-B6E base, all four-wire bases

can be used in any combination within a loop. One F220-B6E

Power Supervision Base can be used as the last base on a loop

in four-wire systems to provide power supervision.

1. Release the mounting skirt from the mounting base. Use a

screwdriver at the location of the snap locks (refer to

Figure 2.1, item 12, page 5) to release the mounting skirt.

2. Run all system wiring (refer to Section 3.2 Wire the Bases).

3. Mount the base using the two oblong mounting holes. Fits

4 in. square, octagon, AB, and single-gang back boxes.

4. Tighten the base to the mounting surface. Tighten until

snug, but not distorted.

NOTE! Follow NFPA 72 guidelines for mounting locations.

For commercial and industrial installations, 30 ft (9 m)

spacing between smoke detectors is recommended.

NOTE! Depending on local regulations, you can surface

mount the bases using anchors, mollies, or wing nuts, or

you can mount directly on back boxes.

NOTE! The electrical box must be large enough to

accommodate the number and size of conductors

specified by the National Electrical Code or any local

authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).
