System Sensor 2W-B Frequently Asked Questions
Are a Smoke Alarm and a Smoke Detector The Same Thing?
No, a Smoke Detector is tied to a separate alarm system. A Smoke Alarm is a stand-alone device or group of devices. Keep reading for details on these devices.
How Does a Fire Detector Work?
There are two primary methods for detecting a fire. These are through either smoke detection and heat detection. For that reason, a "fire detector" is more commonly referred to as a "smoke detector" or a "heat detector". There are also combo smoke and heat sensors. Learn more about these devices.
What's the Best Place to Install a Smoke Detector?
When choosing a location for a smoke detector, there are some things to remember. For example, it should be placed away from any vents or ducts that might affect its performance. It should also be at least 10 feet away from any kitchen appliances. Learn more about where to place a smoke detector.
How Do I Add a 2-Wire Smoke Detector to My Wireless Alarm System?
Adding a 2-wire smoke detector to a wireless alarm system is not possible. A 2-wire smoke detector can only be added to Zone 1 of a wired alarm system. This is because that particular zone contains specific logic needed for a 2-wire smoke to function properly. Learn more about 2-wire smokes.
Will a Smoke Detector Detect Heat?
Not all smoke detectors are designed to detect the presence of high heat. These sensors will only detect high heat if that is a specific function of the device. Otherwise, a smoke detector will only detect smoke, and nothing more. Learn more about smoke detectors and their functionality.
How Do I Wire a 2W-B?
The 2W-B is a two wire, photoelectric smoke detector which can be wired in parallel to zone 1 on most Honeywell Vista panels. Because the 2W-B is a normally open, life safety device, an end of line resistor is required for proper operation and supervision. Learn how to wire the 2W-B here.
