System Sensor 2WT-B Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Wire and Program a DSC PowerSeries NEO for 2-Wire Smokes?
The DSC PowerSeries NEO uses PGM2 to reset 2-wire smokes. Connect smoke negative to PGM2, connect smoke positive to Aux Positive. Keep reading for full details.
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 2-Wire Smoke Detector to My Wired Alarm System?
A 2-wire smoke detector connects directly to a hard-wired zone on a wired alarm system. Learn how to interface a 2-wire smoke with your wired alarm system.
Is there a Battery in a 2WT-B Photoelectric i3 Sensor?
No, the 2WT-B smoke detector, by System Sensor, is a low voltage smoke detector that gets its power from an alarm panel. Read on to see how the 2WT-B works.
