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,
i
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).

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
i
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
Addressable POPIT Base. Refer to the F220-B6PS/M
Installation Manual (P/N: 4998149982).

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.
i
NOTE! Follow NFPA 72 guidelines for mounting locations.
For commercial and industrial installations, 30 ft (9 m)
spacing between smoke detectors is recommended.
i
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.
i
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).
