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.

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.  
NOTE! Follow NFPA 72 guidelines for mounting locations.  
For commercial and industrial installations, 30 ft (9 m)  
spacing between smoke detectors is recommended.  
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.  
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).  
4. Tighten the base to the mounting surface. Tighten until  
snug, but not distorted.

3.2  
Wire the Bases  
CAUTION! When wiring bases, all terminal screws  
including those not wired must be tightened to prevent  
loose screw heads from making intermitent electrical  
contact with the detector head.  
!
3.2.1  
Terminal Connections  
WARNING! Do not twist or loop the wires around the  
terminals. In and out wires for terminal connection must  
be cut, stripped, and inserted as individual ends.  
!
NOTE! Bring the positive (+) wires in on terminal b2 and  
out from terminal b1. Use a consistent pattern, inputting  
on b2 and outputting from b1. The negative (-) wires  
input and output from the same terminal (a1/a2).  
3.2.2  
EOL Resistors  
Use the EOL resistors supplied or specified by the control panel  
manufacturer. This applies to all loop terminations including the  
D275 Module and the F220-B6E Power Supervision Base.  
3.2.3  
Loop Wiring Specifications  
In a two-wire system, the maximum loop length depends on the  
number of F220-B6 bases on the loop, the wire size, and the  
control panel specifications. Refer to the control panel's  
installation instructions for specific wiring information.  
In a four-wire system, the maximum loop length and number of  
bases that can be placed on a loop depend on the voltage drop  
on the power circuit. Use standard voltage drop calculations to  
ensure that the last detector on the loop meets the minimum  
voltage requirement of at least 10 V.

Set Detector Modes  
The F220 Series Smoke Detectors feature a unique  
magnet-operated sensitivity mode and detector test mode.  
4.2.1  
Test Mode  
Test the detector by placing the magnet next to the T mark on  
the mounting skirt (refer to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) for  
three consecutive flashes to cause an alarm.  
4.2.2  
Sensitivity Mode  
If the magnet is next to the T mark for less than three flashes  
but more than one flash, the detector enters Sensitivity Mode.  
1. Place the detector into Sensitivity Mode.  
2. Wait for the first single green LED flash.  
3. Count the number of red LED flashes that follow and refer  
to Table 4.1 for sensitivity definitions.

4.3  
Set CleanMe Feature  
The Clean Me feature monitors the smoke chamber’s sensitivity  
and sends a trouble signal to the control panel when the  
sensitivity degrades to a preset level.  
NOTE! When a CleanMe signal is sent to a control panel  
that is not CleanMe compatible, the signal may be  
misinterpreted as an alarm.  
To activate the CleanMe feature:  
1. Put the detector into sensitivity mode by placing a magnet  
next to the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer to  
Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19). Remove the magnet after  
the first red LED flash and before the third red LED flash.  
2. When the magnet is removed, the LED flashes green once  
and shows the first of two sensitivity displays.  
3. When the LED next flashes red, replace the magnet near  
the T mark(refer to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19).  
4. Hold the magnet against the T mark on the mounting skirt  
(refer to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) until the green LED  
flashes twice and the red LED repeats the sensitivity  
indication.  
5. The detector exits sensitivity mode. If CleanMe has been  
successfully enabled, the green LED flashes twice in rapid  
succession every eight seconds indicating that CleanMe is  
activated.  
To disable CleanMe, repeat this process and verify the double  
flash returns to a single flash.  
4.4  
Flash Rate and Trouble Indication  
These detectors include the Chamber Check Automatic Trouble  
Indicator that verifies the detector’s calibration is within the  
factory listed range. NFPA guidelines for sensitivity testing can  
be met by visually inspecting the detector and checking the  
flash rate of the LED.

NOTE! Perform the visual check before resetting power.  
After a reset the trouble indicators clear for 70 seconds.  
After 70 seconds, if the detector is in a trouble condition,  
trouble indications begin again.  
A unit with CleanMe activated double flashes (two flashes  
within a half second of each other) every eight seconds. A  
normally operating unit flashes once every eight seconds. If a  
detector is in a trouble condition due to a dirty lens or a sensor  
malfunction, it single or double flashes every four seconds. If  
enabled, the CleanMe trouble signal is sent.

Test the Installation  
5.1  
Inspect the Installation  
1. Check the wiring from the control panel to the last head on  
each run for proper polarity and continuity.  
2. Terminate each run with an EOL resistor as specified by  
the control panel manufacturer.  
3. Terminate four-wire runs with EOL power supervision  
modules or F220-B6E bases.  
4. Apply power to the system. Check for alarms and troubles.  
5. Note which detectors alarmed (if any), shut down the  
system, remove alarmed detectors from their bases, and  
recheck the bases for proper wiring.  
6. If the problem persists, determine if the problem is caused  
by the detector or the base. Replace the affected detectors  
or bases with known good units.  
7. If a system alarm occurs with no detector alarms present,  
remove all detectors and check the wiring at each base.  
8. Check the wiring of each EOL resistor and EOL module.  
9. When the system is alarm free, check each detector to  
ensure that the green LED indicator flashes approximately

every eight seconds. This verifies the detector is receiving  
power and operating properly.  
NOTE! If a heat detector LED flashes at a rate of  
4 flashes/sec, the detector is either cold (below +32°F  
[0°C]), out of sensitivity range, or defective. If a smoke  
detector flashes at a rate of 4 flashes/sec, it is either out  
of sensitivity range or defective.  
5.2  
Test Each Detector  
Test each detector to ensure it causes a control panel alarm.  
Reset the control panel after each test.  
5.2.1  
Activate an Alarm at Each Detector  
To cause heat detectors to alarm either:  
Activate the internal reed switch by placing a magnet  
horizontally against the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer  
to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) and holding it there for  
three consecutive LED flashes, or  
Expose the thermistor (refer to Figure 2.2, Item 3 on  
page 7)to a heat source such as a hair dryer or a shielded  
heat lamp until the detector alarms and the alarm LED  
lights .  
To cause smoke detectors to alarm either:  
Activate the internal reed switch by placing a magnet  
horizontally against the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer  
to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) and holding it there for  
three consecutive LED flashes, or  
Use a UL Listed aerosol smoke detector tester to simulate  
an alarm. Follow the instructions provided with the aerosol  
smoke detector tester.  
5.2.2  
Reset the Control Panel  
When a detector alarms, the red LED indicator activates and  
latches into the ON position. Clear the alarm by momentarily  
removing power before proceeding to the next detector.

5.3  
Test the Alarm Loop  
Checkthe voltage across the EOL resistor of each alarm loop to  
verify wiring losses do not exceed control panel manufacturer’s  
specifications.  
5.4  
Test CO Sensors  
Removing the detector head or resetting the detector’s power  
places the detector in a special test mode for 15 minutes. If  
over 35 ppm of CO is applied to the detector within this  
15-minute period, the detector must alarm or it is defective.  
WARNING! The F220-PTHC detects carbon monoxide  
(CO) as a component of a fire. Do not use the F220-PTHC  
as a stand-alone CO detector.
