IMPORTANT: The guidelines in this section are adapted from standards
published by the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy,
Massachusetts, U. S. A. These standards include NFPA 72,
“National Fire Alarm Code”; NFPA 70, “National Electrical Code”,
Article 760; and NFPA 90A, “Standard for the Installation of
Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems.”
To provide effective early warning of a developing fire situation, smoke detectors/sensors should
be installed in all areas of the protected premises. Total coverage as defined by NFPA 72 should
include all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, attics, lofts, and spaces above suspended
ceilings including plenum areas utilized as part of the HVAC system. In addition, this should
include all closets, elevator shafts, enclosed stairways, dumbwaiter shafts, chutes and other
subdivisions and accessible spaces.
Fire detection systems installed to meet local codes or ordinances may not be adequate for early
warning of the fire. Some codes or ordinances have minimum objectives such as capturing
elevators or preventing circulation of smoke through HVAC systems instead of early detection of
fire.
You should weigh the costs against the benefits of installing a complete fire detection system
when any detection system is being installed. The location, quantity and zoning of
detectors/sensors should be determined by what objectives are desired rather than the minimum
requirements of any local codes or ordinances.
Detectors/sensors may be omitted from combustible blind spaces when any of the following
conditions prevail:
Where the ceiling is attached directly to the underside of the supporting beams of a
combustible roof or floor deck.
Where the concealed space is entirely filled with noncombustible insulation. (In solid joist
construction, the insulation need only fill the space from the ceiling to the bottom edge of the
joist of the roof or floor deck.)
Where there are small concealed spaces over rooms, provided the space in question does not
exceed 50 square feet (4.6 square meters).
In spaces formed by sets of facing studs or solid joists in walls, floors, or ceilings where the
distance between the facing studs or solid joists do not exceed 6 inches (15 cm).
Detectors/sensors may also be omitted from below open grid ceilings where all of the following
conditions are met:
The openings of the grid are at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the smallest dimension.
The thickness of the material does not exceed the smallest of the grid openings.
The openings constitute at least 70% of the area of the ceiling material.

Detectors/sensors are usually required or recommended underneath open loading docks or
platforms and their covers, and in accessible under-floor areas in buildings without basements.
Detectors/sensors may be omitted from combustible blind spaces when all of the following
conditions prevail:
1. The space is not accessible for storage purposes, it is protected against the entrance of
unauthorized persons, and it is protected against the accumulation of windblown debris.
2. The space contains no equipment/structures (such as steam pipes, electrical wiring, ducts,
shafts, or conveyors) that could potentially ignite or conduct the spread of fire.
3. The floor over the space is tight.
4. Non flammable liquids are processed, handled, or stored on the floor above the space.
“Total coverage” as described in NFPA 72, is the definition of a complete fire detection system.
In some of the specified areas of coverage, such as attics, closets, under open loading docks or
platforms, a heat detector may be more appropriate than a smoke detector. Careful consideration
should be given to the detector manufacturer’s instructions and the following recommendations in this
guide.
In general, when only one detector/sensor is required in a room or space, the detector/sensor should
be placed as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. Central location of the detector/sensor is
best for sensing smoke and/or fire in any part of the room. If a center location is not possible, it may
be placed no closer than 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall, or if listed for wall mounting, it may be
mounted on the wall. Wall mounted detectors/sensor should be located approximately 4 to 12 inches
(10 to 30 cm) from the ceiling to the top of the detector, and at least 4 inches (10 cm) from any
corner wall junction (see the figure below).

When an air supply and/or an air return duct opening is present in a room or space, the
detector/sensor(s) should be placed in the path of the air flow toward the return air duct opening
(see below).

Figure 1-2. Detector Placement - Air Supply and/or Return Ducts
Smoke tests are helpful in determining proper placement. Special attention should be given
to smoke travel directions and velocity, since either can affect detector/sensor performance.
Placement of a detector/sensor near air conditioning or incoming air vents can also cause
excessive accumulation of dust and dirt on the detector/sensor. This dirt can cause the
detector/sensor to malfunction and cause nuisance alarms. Detectors/sensors should not be located
closer than 3 feet (0.9 m) from an air supply diffuser.
Spot type detectors/sensors in properly engineered systems, may also be placed in return air ducts, or
in approved duct detector housings designed for this application. Although duct detectors are not a
substitute for open area detectors, they can provide an effective method of initiating building control
functions to prevent smoke from being transported from the fire area to other parts of a building.

One of the major causes of nuisance alarms is improper placement of detectors/sensors.
The best way to avoid nuisance alarms is to not install detectors/sensors in environments that can
cause them to malfunction. See the table and examples provided below.

DO NOT PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS:
In excessively dusty or dirty areas, such as feed rooms, steel mills, etc. Dust and dirt can
accumulate on the detector/sensor’s sensing chamber and make it overly sensitive, or block
the air entrances to the sensing chamber and make the detector/sensor less sensitive to smoke.
Be especially careful to avoid areas where fumigants, fog or mist-producing materials, or
sweeping and cleaning compounds are used. These substances may cause nuisance alarms.
Outdoors, in stables, open storage sheds, or other open structures affected by dust,
air currents, or excessive humidity and temperature.
In damp or excessively humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers. Water droplets
can accumulate inside the sensing chamber and make the detector/sensor overly sensitive.
A tremendous amount of humid air is produced during a hot shower. The moisture in this
humid air can enter the sensing chamber as water vapor, then cool and condense into droplets
that can cause a nuisance alarm.
In elevator lobbies over ashtrays or where people smoke while waiting for the elevator.
In very cold or very hot environments, or in unheated buildings or rooms where the
temperature can fall below or exceed the operating temperature range of the detector/sensor.
At temperatures below 32° F (0° C), ice crystals or condensation can appear inside the sensing
chamber and make it overly sensitive or cause a nuisance alarm. At temperatures above the
operating range of the detector/sensor greater than 120° F (49° C), its internal components
may not function properly.
In or near areas where combustion particles are normally present, such as in kitchens or other
areas with ovens and burners; in garages, where particles of combustion are present in vehicle
exhausts; within 15 feet (4.5 meters) of any type of furnace, hot water heater, or gas space
heater; or in welding shops or other types of work areas where some form of combustion is
used in the activity normally conducted in that area. When a detector must be located in or
adjacent to such an area, a fixed temperature heat detector may be appropriate.

In air streams passing by or through kitchens. Air often enters a residence or a residential unit
of an apartment building through cracks around the front and/or back doors. If the air return
is in the bedroom hallway or in the bathroom, and if air from the kitchen easily enters the air
stream going from the door to the air return, combustion particles from cooking can cause
nuisance alarms. Install detectors/sensors so that they protect the bedrooms, but so they are
out of the air stream.
In or near manufacturing areas, battery rooms, or other areas where substantial quantities of
vapors, gases or fumes may be present. Strong vapors, like excessive humidity, can make
detectors/sensors overly sensitive or less sensitive than normal. In very large concentrations,
gases heavier than air, such as carbon dioxide, may make detectors/sensors more sensitive,
while gases lighter than air, such as helium, may make them less sensitive. Aerosol particles
may collect on detector/sensor chamber surfaces and cause nuisance alarms.
Insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector/sensor’s sensing chamber, they can cause a
nuisance alarm. Take proper insect eradication procedures before installing detectors/sensors
in such locations. If spraying is done, do not allow insect spray to enter the detectors/sensors.
Near fluorescent light fixtures. Electrical noise generated by fluorescent light fixtures may
cause nuisance alarms. Install detectors/sensors at least 1 foot (0.3 meters) away from such
light fixtures.
When using the CO Base for CO fire detection, do not install in locations that could have
potentially high non-fire levels of CO.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has three standards for smoke detectors: one for duct
detectors/sensors, UL 268A; one for single and multiple station detectors/sensors, UL 217; and
one for system type detectors/sensors, UL 268. Detectors/sensors should only be used in the
applications for which they are specifically listed.
The NFPA 101 Life Safety Code states that single station smoke detectors shall sound an
alarm only within an individual living unit or similar area and shall not actuate the building
fire alarm system. It also states, “All systems and components shall be approved for the
purpose for which they are installed.”
In addition to possible code noncompliance, the following deficiencies would exist in a series
of residential smoke detectors connected in a fire alarm system mode:
Since the fire alarm system is not supervised, vandals or others could disconnect a detector or
the entire system, leaving a building without protection. The residents would be unaware of
the serious life threatening condition.
Residential detectors do not latch in alarm. In other words, the detector self-resets. One
detector in alarm sounds all the detectors connected together. It would be difficult to
identify or locate a specific detector that initially put the system into alarm after the alarm
condition was cleared.
System detectors/sensors latch in alarm. They do not reset until power is momentarily
disconnected. This makes it convenient to identify the location of the detector/sensor that caused
the control panel to alarm. In addition, system detectors are specifically designed to connect to a
supervised control panel. Two-wire detectors require a UL compatibility review to verify that the
detector and panel properly operate together. A typical life safety fire alarm system for an
apartment complex would be to use system detectors/sensors and manual fire alarm stations in the
hallways and common areas of the complex and residential single station type detectors and heat
detectors in the individual apartments. The system detectors/sensors, manual stations and heat
detectors would be connected to a supervised control panel, sound a general alarm and
automatically notify the proper authorities that a fire condition exists. The residential detectors
located in the apartments would be interconnected only within the individual living quarters of
each apartment. These residential units would sound an alarm only in the apartment unit.

This section describes how the different types of detectors and sensors work. For additional
information on TrueAlarm sensor operation, refer to the TrueAlarm Concepts publication
(PER-91-024).
The heat detector senses the heat or the Rate-of-Rise (ROR) in the air temperature of the
environment in which it is located. The heat detector is comprised of electronic circuitry and a
mechanical package that is designed to sense the ROR of the air temperature in an expedient and
reliable fashion. Upon detection of an abnormal increase in air temperature, or ROR in air
temperature, the electronics indicate an alarm by increasing the amount of current draw from the
monitor zone it is connected to. The monitor zone is a supervised detection circuit that is tied
back to a main control panel that takes appropriate action to indicate an alarm has been reported,
if the zone current is substantially increased.
Being of an electronic design, the temperature of the air is sensed by using two negative
temperature coefficient thermistors. The resistance of the thermistors goes down with an increase
in temperature. One thermistor is placed in a position such as to sense the open air temperature
very rapidly (RT1). The second thermistor is positioned in a small cavity that protrudes out from
the main body of the detector (RT2). The location of RT2 allows for fast detection of a quick
change in the air temperature, but yet for a slow or medium rate of temperature change, the
detector does not trip due to the ROR feature. For a slower change in temperature, the detector
trips into alarm due to a set fixed temperature that is sensed by RT1. For a fast temperature rise,
when a difference in temperature sensed by RT1 and RT2 has reached a predetermined amount,
the detector trips into alarm.
These devices operate on a light scattering principle. The smoke sensing chamber contains an
infrared LED source with a peak spectral emission of 880 nanometers. This source is placed at an
angle from a spectrally matched photodiode receiver. During a NO SMOKE condition, only light
reflected from the chamber walls enters the receiver and shows up as a small photocurrent. As
smoke particles enter the sensing chamber and cross the light beam of the LED, more light reaches
the receiver due to scattering. The receiver circuitry converts this photocurrent into a signal
voltage. In a detector, when this voltage reaches a preset level, an alarm is produced. In a sensor,
this signal voltage goes into an 8-bit, A to D (analog to digital) converter. A digital representation
of this signal voltage is then transmitted to the fire alarm panel for further processing.
These devices use a small radiation source, Americium-241, which emits alpha particles that
ionize air molecules between two electrically charged electrodes. With the application of a
DC voltage .to these electrodes, a small ionization current flows within the chamber. As smoke
enters the chamber, a decrease in ionization current results. This current is converted into a signal
voltage by a transimpedance circuit. In a detector, when this signal voltage drops below a preset
level, an alarm is produced. In a sensor, this signal voltage goes into an 8-bit A to D (analog to
digital) converter. A digital representation of this signal voltage is then transmitted to the fire
alarm panel for further processing.
The CO Sensor and Sounder Bases with a CO Replaceable Sensor (CRS) module work in
conjunction with existing detector heads. The CO Sensor Base enhances fire detection and
provides the ability to combine fire and toxic gas leakage detection in a single device. The CO
sensor measures the concentration of carbon monoxide gas in the air in part per million (PPM).
When toxic gas operation is selected, the FACP panel may generate either a supervisory, utility or
priority 2 alarms. The alarm level is calculated within the panel based on the time integrated CO
levels that have been measured at the detector.

CAUTION: Install the detectors described in this publication in accordance with
applicable NFPA standards, local codes, and the Authorities Having
Jurisdiction (AHJs). Failure to follow these instructions may result in
failure of the detector to initiate an alarm condition. The manufacturer
is not responsible for detectors that have been improperly installed,
tested, or maintained.
The smoke detectors used with these bases are designed to activate and initiate emergency action,
but do so only when used in conjunction with other equipment. They are designed for installation
in accordance with NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code.
Smoke detectors do not work without power. AC or DC powered smoke detectors do not
work if the power supply is cut off for any reason.
Smoke detectors do not sense fires when smoke does not reach the detectors. Smoke from
fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs or on the other side of closed doors may not reach the
smoke detector and alarm it.
A detector may not detect a fire developing on another level of a building. For this reason,
detectors should be located on every level of a building.
Smoke detectors have sensing limitations. Ionization detectors are better at detecting fast,
flaming fires than slow, smoldering fires. Photoelectric detectors sense smoldering fires
better than flaming fires. Because fires develop in different ways, and are often unpredictable
in their growth, neither type of detector is always best, and a given detector may not always
provide warning of a fire. In general, detectors cannot be expected to provide warning for
fires resulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions, escaping gases,
improper storage of flammable liquids like cleaning solvents, other safety hazards, or arson.
Smoke detectors cannot last forever. Smoke detectors contain electronic parts. Even though
detectors are made to last for many years, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore,
test your smoke detector system per NFPA 72 at least annually. Clean and take care of your
smoke detectors regularly. (See Chapter 5 of this publication for cleaning instructions.)

All smoke detectors identified in Table 2-1 mount to a detector base (refer to the “4098 Bases”
section of this chapter for more information). Use the following considerations and Figure 2-1
when mounting smoke detectors.
IMPORTANT: Smoke must enter the chamber of the detector. Thus, air flow, air
stratification, air velocity, air stagnation, and air migration affects
detector efficiency.
Note: Where the possibility of positive airflow from the electrical conduit/junction box exists,
seal the conduit openings with 3M Weatherban #606 (or equivalent), a non-flammable
sealing compound.
Do not install detectors in areas where temperatures are likely to exceed 100 F (38 C)
or fall below 32 F (0 C).
Because the 4098-9602 detector combines heat sensing, DO NOT install this detector in
locations where the ambient temperatures exceed 100 F (38 C) or where temperature
fluctuations above 6 F/min. occur.
Do not install detectors on a ceiling within 4 inches (10 cm) of a wall.
Do not install detectors where forced air ventilation may dilute the smoke before it
reaches the detector.
Do not install detectors in areas where smoke is normally present (kitchens, furnace
rooms, laundry rooms, loading docks, rooms with fireplaces, rooms with candles,
soldering rooms, etc.).
Do not install detectors in areas where there is likely to be steam (in hospital patient
rooms with vaporizers, near shower rooms, above large sinks, etc.).
Do not install detectors above ashtrays in elevator lobbies.
Wall-mounted detectors should be located 4 to 12 inches (10-30.5 cm) from the ceiling to
detector head.
Protect all detector heads during construction to avoid infiltration of construction debris.
Remove any protective covers before activating the system.
If using the adapter plate, tighten the mounting screws without warping the adapter plate.

Mounting
Requirements
2-5
This section contains general notes, specifications, and mounting information for the heat
detectors shown in Table 2-2.
WARNING: Heat detectors are NOT life-safety devices; USE HEAT DETECTORS
FOR PROPERTY PROTECTION ONLY! For life-safety requirements,
use smoke detectors.
Notes:
For all heat detectors, provide electronic supervision with battery back-up at the fire alarm
control panel.
Where the possibility of positive airflow from the electrical conduit/junction box exists, seal
the conduit openings with 3M Weatherban #606 (or equivalent), a non-flammable sealing
compound.
Refer to NFPA 72 for application, test, and maintenance requirements.
Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors:
Electronic fixed temperature heat detectors use a fast response, thermistor based design to provide
temperature sensing that quickly, accurately, and consistently identifies when fixed temperatures are
exceeded. For this reason, the fixed temperature detectors are recommended for most applications.
With a UL spacing distance of 60 X 60 feet, the fixed temperature electronic heat detectors replace
both mechanical fixed as well as mechanical ROR heat detectors.
ROR Temperature Heat Detectors:
Electronic Rate-of-Rise (ROR) heat detectors detect fixed temperature alarm thresholds the same as
the fixed temperature heat detectors, plus detect a ROR alarm with a patented ROR detection design
that can quickly respond to sudden temperature variations. Due to the nature of the fast response to
temperature changes, care must be taken for proper installation of ROR heat detectors. ROR heat
detectors should be installed in stable environmentally controlled areas. These detectors must not be
installed where hot or cold air can be blown on them (near ductwork, industrial equipment, air vents
etc.). ROR detectors should not be installed where more then 6 F per minute temperature changes
can normally occur.

The 4098-9788 base is designed to be used with 4098 Series smoke and heat detectors, as well as
the QuickConnect2 photo sensor. To use a 4-wire configuration, you must use the 4098-9682
relay base. Heat detectors require the 4098-9684 base when used with a remote LED. This
section only covers the information necessary to mount and wire these base configurations.
Before installing these bases, make a survey of the area to be covered in accordance with
information provided in NFPA 72. For additional information, refer to the NEMA Guide for
Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors.
CAUTION: Install the bases in this section in accordance with applicable NFPA
standards, local codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).
Failure to follow these instructions may result in failure of the detector
to initiate an alarm condition. The manufacturer is not responsible for
detectors that have been improperly installed, tested, or maintained.

The 4098-9788 base mounts to a 4-inch octagonal, 4-inch square, or single gang electrical box.
When mounting to a 4-inch square or any surface mounted box, the 4098-9832 adapter plate kit
must be used.
Figure 2-1. Typical Detector/Sensor Mounting
Notes:
1. Break off plastic lock tab to engage locking mechanism. To lock detector/sensor into base,
turn unit until the locking tab clicks into place. To unlock detector/sensor, insert the blade of a
screwdriver into this slot and then pull down on handle. This action allows the detector/sensor
to be turned and removed (see Figure 2-1).
2. Refer to the “Compatibility and Testing” chapter of this publication for detailed information
on compatible detectors/sensors.
3. Bases with relay modules require a 1 ½-inch extension ring (not supplied) mounted to the
4-inch square or octagonal electrical box to meet the space requirement of the relay cube and
its wires. The relay module(s) cannot be used in single-gang electrical box installations. The
relay cube 4098-9822 must be installed in the electrical box directly behind the sensor base.
4. Use Adapter Plate Kit 4098-9832 when mounting the 4098-9794 and 4098-9795 to a surface
mounted 4-inch square or octagonal box. Adapter plates must be installed with textured side
towards the electrical box for this installation only.

This chapter contains general notes, specifications, and mounting information for the TrueAlarm
Sensors, Sensor Bases and QuickConnect Smoke Sensors.
WARNING: Be sure that the location of each smoke sensor and each heat
sensor has been planned per local and national fire codes
(see NFPA 72).
Smoke sensor sensitivities are set and continuously monitored by the control panel. This
functionality complies with NFPA 72. When functional testing of these sensors is required per
NFPA 72, use the test methods described in Chapter 5 of this manual “Compatibility and Testing.”
Refer to NFPA 72 for application, test, and maintenance requirements.
The 4098-9733 heat sensor and 4098-9754 multi-sensor provide a Rate-of-Rise function that is
software programmed and selectable at 15° F (8.3° C) or 20° F (11.1° C) per minute. The
4098-9733 and 4098-9754 also provide general temperature monitoring within the range of

1. Smoke sensor sensitivities are set and continuously monitored by the control unit.
The sensitivity range (setting) for the 4098-9714 and 4098-9754 sensor is 0.2%/FT to
3.7%/FT smoke obscuration. The sensitivity range (setting) for 4098-9717 sensors is
0.5%/FT to 1.3%/FT.
2. The 0.2%/FT, 0.5%/FT, and 1.0%/FT settings for the 4098-9714 and 4098-9754 sensor and the
0.5%/FT and 0.9%/FT settings for the 4098-9717 sensor are for special applications only.
The 0.2%/FT, 0.5%/FT, 0.9%/FT, and 1.0%/FT settings are very sensitive settings: only use the
0.2%/FT setting when a sensor is located in a totally smoke-free and controlled
temperature environment, such as a computer room or telephone switching exchange.
3. To determine if an area is suitable for the 0.2%/FT setting, set the sensitivity for the installed
sensor at 1.5%/FT and monitor the peak values for 90 days. If you record a peak value of
0.1%FT or higher during the 90 days, do not use the 0.2%/FT setting.
4. To determine if an area is suitable for the 0.5%/FT setting, set the sensitivity for the installed
sensor at 1.5%/FT and monitor the peak values for 90 days. If you record a peak value of
0.25%FT or higher during the 90 days, do not use the 0.5%/FT setting.
5. To determine if an area is suitable for the 0.9%/FT or 1.0%/FT setting, set the sensitivity for
the installed sensor at 1.3%/FT (Ion) 1.5/FT (Photo) and monitor the peak values for
90 days. If you record a peak value of 0.5% or higher during the 90 days, do not use the
0.9%/FT (Ion) or 1.0%/FT (Photo) settings.
All sensors identified in Table 3-2 mount to a sensor base (refer to the “4098 TrueAlarm

TrueAlarm smoke/heat sensor bases are connected to a 2120 Multiplex Communicating Device
Transponder (CDT), 4020, 4100+, 4100U, 4100ES, 4120, 4008, or 4010 panel by a single wire
pair (MAPNET II/IDNet). The 4098-9792, -9789, 9793, 9796, 9797, and 9798 bases and their
sensors obtain both power and data over MAPNET II/IDNet wiring. The 4098-9791 sensor base
requires 24VDC power for relay operation and the 4098-9794 and 4098-9795 sensor base with
sounder requires 24 VDC or Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) power. The 4098-9791, -9794,
-9795, and –9796 are NOT compatible with the 2120 CDT. The 4098-9793 is only compatible

not the sounder base. The -9797 Base has the same layout, but doesn’t offer sounder
functionality. It uses only an 8-way DIP switch.

1. Using the 2120 Job Configuration Report, find the entry for the sensor base (4098-9792 and
4098-9789 only) you are about to install. The CUSTOM LABEL column provides the
location while the DEVICE ADDRESS column provides the switch setting data.
2. Using the switch setting data for the base you are installing, set the base’s address.
See Figure 3-1 for location of switches. Use a small screwdriver or pen to set the switches.
3. Double-check the location of the sensor base and its address before proceeding to electrical
installation (see Figure 2-1).
1. Using the Programmer’s Report for the 4020 (Figure 3-3), 4100+, 4100U, 4100ES, 4120,
4008, or 4010 (Figure 3-4), find the entry for the sensor base you are about to install. The
device ADDRESS and CUSTOM LABEL are located in the SYSTEM POINT SUMMARY
under “M.”For example, Address M1-7 (for the 4100+, 4100U, 4100ES, 4120, 4008, or 4010
system) is circled in Figure 3-4. M1 is the addressable channel while -7 is the device address
on the channel. For a base with Address M1-7, Address 7 must be set on the base’s DIP
Switches (SW1).
2. Using the example given in Step 1 as guideline, set the base’s address using the information in
Figure 3-5. See Figure 3-1 and 3-2 for location of DIP Switches. Use a small screwdriver or
pen to set the switches.
3. Mark an address label with the appropriate address for your base by shading a label box for
each base DIP Switch in the ON position. Then apply the label to the base near the base’s
DIP Switch.
4. Double-check the location of the sensor base and its address before proceeding to electrical
installation.

The 4098-9795 and 4098-9796 Multi-Sensor Bases are only
for use with the 4098-9754
multi-sensor and are not compatible with the 2120 CDT. Both bases have remote LED output and
the 4098-9795 also has an integrated sounder similar to the 4098-9794 Sounder Base. The
4098-9795 and 4098-9796 Multi-Sensor Bases must be used with the 4098-9754 multi-sensor
when connected to a 4010, 4020, 4100+, 4008, or 4120 system. When connected to a 4100U or a
4100ES the 4098-9754 multi-sensor can also be used with the 4098-9789, -9791, -9792, -9793, -
9794, -9797, and -9798 bases.
The Multi-Sensor Base answers to two addresses, therefore the DIP Switch must be set for
even addresses only
. The even address is a photo sensor/sounder base (4098-9795) or a photo
sensor/standard base (4098-9796), and the odd address (DIP Switch + 1) is a heat sensor/standard
base. The figure below shows the allowable addresses for the Multi-Sensor Bases.
IMPORTANT: Switch Position 1 is not used and must always be OFF (0) for the
Multi-Sensor Bases to function properly. The odd address immediately
after the DIP Switch setting must not be used by any other sensor base or
MAPNET/IDNet device.

The 4098-9757 QuickConnect2 sensor requires the 4098-9788 base.
The 4098-9757 QuickConnect2 sensor is only compatible with the 4010, 4100U and 4100ES (with
4100-3106). The sensors obtain both power and data over IDNet wiring.
Each QuickConnect sensor has a unique address. This address is associated with a custom label
that identifies its physical location within a building. The sensor’s address and location must
match up with the address listed in the Programmer’s Report for the 4010, 4100U or the 4100ES.
Use the method described in the “4098 TrueAlarm Sensor Bases” section of this chapter to
complete the sensor setup. Refer to the figure below for the location of the DIP Switches.
Double-check the location of the QuickConnect sensor and its address before proceeding to
electrical installation (see Figures 3-12 and 3-13).

The minimal requirement for detector and sensor maintenance should consist of clearing surface
dust by using a vacuum cleaner. Cleaning programs should comply with NFPA and local
environments. Cleaning of the internal chamber should only be done by a qualified technical
representative.
For service, return to your local branch office.
Smoke sensor sensitivities are set and continuously monitored by the control unit. Dirty or
out-or-range sensors are annunciated by the control unit. This functionality complies with
NFPA 72.
Note: When testing detectors/sensors, refer to NFPA 72, or contact your local branch office.
CAUTION: Before functionally testing the detectors/sensors, be sure to disconnect
the city connection, releasing devices, and extinguishing systems
(or for the 4020, 4010, 4100+, 4100U, 4100ES, 4006, 4008, or 4120 panel,
put the panel in the Walk Test mode).
NFPA minimally requires annual functional testing of smoke detectors/sensors at their installed
location. To perform this annual test, use the Solo 336 Aerosol Smoke Dispenser.
IMPORTANT: After testing detectors, reset the fire alarm panel to restore the fire
alarm system to normal status. After testing sensors, you must
clear the peak values.

The following test method is suitable for functional checks of sensor bases or QuickConnect
sensors during installation; however, testing with smoke must be performed to comply with NFPA
requirements.
For all sensor bases, position the 553-810 Magnet Tester ½” to ¾” counterclockwise from the
visible LED found on the sensor base, (see the figure below).
For the 4098-9757 QuickConnect2 photo sensor, position the 553-810 Magnet Tester as shown in
Figure 5-2.
Testing a sensor with a magnet reports a value of 255 for actual / peak (exception 4010 panel,
4100U panel and 4100ES panel). Clear the peak value after testing.
Note: For 4098-9795 and 4098-9796 Multi-Sensor Bases both photo and heat address
(even and odd) must alarm.

When placing the magnet at the location indicated by a “” mark embossed on the cover, the
visible LED flashes indicating the detector's condition. The following are descriptions of what
you should see when using the MAG TEST.
NORMAL - When in MAG TEST, the detector latches into alarm if the detector is within
calibration range and the visible LED stays ON.
MORE SENSITIVE - When in MAG TEST, if the detector is more sensitive than the
maximum calibration, the visible LED quickly flashes, twice a second. Following the sixth
flash, the detector latches into alarm and the visible LED stays ON.
LESS SENSITIVE - When in MAG TEST, if the detector is less sensitive than the minimum
calibration, the visible LED slowly flashes four times, once every two seconds. Following the
fourth flash, the detector latches into alarm and the visible LED stays ON.
NON-FUNCTIONAL DETECTOR - If the detector is less sensitive than the minimum
allowable sensitivity or if there is a fault in the temperature sensing circuit (4098-9602), the
visible LED does not flash normally. When in MAG TEST, the visible LED slowly flashes
four times, once every two seconds. After the fourth flash, the detector does NOT latch into
alarm and the LED stops flashing and turns OFF.
If the detector is out of the normal operating range, it should be cleaned. If the detector still
indicates as other than normal sensitivity, replace the detector.

The 4098 Ionization Detectors may be tested with a magnet to verify proper operation of the
Fire Alarm Control Panel.
Note: When ionization detectors alarm, the red LED indicator activates and latches into the
ON position.
Place a magnet against the detector’s side (over the location marked by a “” on the head of the
ionization detector) and hold for ten seconds to activate an internal reed switch. Use the Magnet
Tester (Part No. 553-810).
Plug the 553-832 Ion Detector Test Cable into the Detector’s sensitivity voltage pins located on
the Ion Detector Head. Perform the following steps to test the Ion detector’s sensitivity:
1. Connect a 10M/V digital voltmeter to the 553-832 test cable, connect the negative terminal of
the voltmeter to the red wire of the test cable and connect the positive terminal of the
voltmeter to the white wire of the test cable. The black wire of the 553-832 test cable is not
used.
2. The voltage measured by the voltmeter should be within 0.2 and 0.8 volts. Detectors
outputting a voltage outside this range should be cleaned or replaced.
3. If the Ion Detector voltage output is outside of the range, it should be removed and cleaned as
described in the cleaning section. Re-check the voltage measurement on the Ion Detector; if
the Ion Detector is still outside the voltage range after cleaning, replace the device.

If the device’s sensitivity is other than what is marked on the device’s label, clean the device using
a source of oil-free, filtered, compressed air such as Dust-Off, Tech Duster, etc.
CAUTION: Notify appropriate building personnel prior to removing any
detectors/sensors from service.
Blow the compressed air through the open vents around the device so that air enters and cleans the
black chamber cover/insect screen assembly (Part No. 677-224) located beneath the white
protective cover.
If the device’s sensitivity is still other than what is marked on the device’s label, replace the
device.
Note:
Do not remove the Ion Detector/ Sensor protective cover.
Blow compressed air through the open vents around the device so that air enters and cleans the
black chamber cover assembly located beneath the white protective cover. If the device sensitivity
is still outside the marked range replace the device and return the failed device to 130 Perinton
Parkway, Fairport, NY 14450-9199.
IMPORTANT: Once cleaned, the detector/sensor should be tested with smoke per
NFPA 72.

The TrueAlarm smoke sensor is a measuring device that sends data regarding smoke density to the
4010, 4020, 4100, 4100+, 4100U, 4100ES, 4008, and 2120 fire alarm control panels (FACPs).
The TrueAlarm heat sensor operates in a similar fashion, but sends temperature data instead of
smoke density data. The FACP uses this data to determine whether a trouble has occurred.
The TrueAlarm sensor has two automatic trouble indications:
Dirty
Excessively Dirty
A “Smoke Sensor Dirty” trouble condition is reported any time the average value on an individual
sensor reaches a set threshold value. At this time, the FACP is still compensating for environmental
factors and is holding the set sensitivity level.
A “Smoke Sensor is Excessively Dirty” trouble condition is reported anytime the average value of
an individual sensor reaches a slightly higher set threshold level. At this point, the FACP can no
longer compensate for environmental factors, and the sensitivity level may begin to drift.
Although an “excessively dirty” trouble is reported, the sensor continues to operate and reports an
alarm condition when one is detected.
In addition to the two automatic trouble conditions, the FACPs have digital pseudo points that
must be turned ON to allow a TrueAlarm sensor that is close to being a dirty sensor to report as if
it is “almost dirty.” This is useful when maintenance is being scheduled for dirty sensors, as it
provides a means of seeing if other sensors are approaching a dirty state.
The table below shows your responsibilities when certain trouble indications occur.
Table 5-4. TrueAlarm Troubles and Descriptions
Trouble Indication Description
Almost Dirty
Using the front panel keys, it is possible for a technical representative to turn
ON a digital pseudo point in the FACP that allows an “almost dirty” sensor to
report a trouble. Although the “almost dirty” sensor is holding its sensitivity
level, you can schedule maintenance for the sensor before the dirty sensor
trouble occurs.
Dirty
A “dirty” indication means that the sensor is holding its sensitivity level, but that
you should schedule maintenance for the sensor. Clean the sensor as required
and, when necessary, call your local branch office for service.
Excessively Dirty
The “excessively dirty” indication means that the sensor is no longer
compensating for dirt and dust. Because nuisance alarms are possible with this
condition, sensors must be cleaned or replaced immediately. When necessary,
call your local branch office for service.
Self-Test Abnormal
All FACP system sensors are automatically tested once every minute. When a
sensor fails to report properly to the FACP, a “Self-Test Abnormal” condition
occurs. Since the sensor is not working properly, it must be replaced. Replace
it, or call your local branch office for service.
Expired The FACP panel generates an Expired trouble to notify the user that a
replacement sensor is required. To clear the trouble, a new CRS with a valid
date must be installed, and a hardware reset of the FACP panel must be
performed.
