Before installing 
Please  thoroughly  read  the  System  Sensor  manual  A05-
1003, Applications Guide for System Smoke Detectors, which 
provides  detailed  information  on  detector  spacing,  place-
ment,  zoning,  wiring,  and  special  applications.  Copies  of 
this manual are available at no charge from System Sensor. 
(For installation in Canada refer to  CAN/ULC-S524,  Stan-
dard for  the  Installation  of  Fire  Alarm  Systems,  and  CEC 
Part 1, Sec. 32.)
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user 
of this equipment.
NOTICE: Model 1451 is a direct replacement for Honeywell 
model TC805C1000
IMPORTANT: This sensor must  be tested and maintained 
regularly following NFPA  72 requirements.  This  sensor 
should be cleaned at least once a year.
General Description
Model 1451 dual chamber ionization detectors utilize state-
of-the-art, unipolar sensing chambers. These detectors are 
designed to provide open area protection,  and to be used 
with  compatible  UL-listed  control  panels  only.  The  capa-
bility of  plugging  these detectors into  a  variety of  special 
bases  makes  them  more  versatile  than  equivalent  direct-
wired models.
Two  LEDs  on  each  detector  light  to  provide  a  local  360° 
visible alarm indication. Remote LED annunciator capabil-
ity  is  available  as  an  optional  accessory.  These  detectors 
also  have  the  latching  alarm  feature.  The  alarm  can  be 
reset  only  by  a  momentary  power  interruption.  For  test-
ing, these detectors have an internal magnetically activated 
reed switch.
Model 1451 has been approved for marine use in dry loca-
tions by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. The detector is to be 
used in dry interior locations only.

Base Selection And Wiring Guide
Refer to the installation instructions for the plug-in detector 
bases for wiring instructions. System Sensor has available a 
variety of detector bases for this smoke detector, including 
2-wire applications with and without relays and/or current 
limiting  resistors,  4-wire  and  120VAC  applications.  (Note: 
the 120VAC detector base is not available in Canada.)
All  bases  are  provided  with  screw  terminals  for  power, 
ground, remote annunciator connections, and relay contact 
connections,  if  applicable.  The  electrical  ratings  for  each 
detector-base combination are also included in the base in-
stallation instructions.
Installation
NOTE: All wiring must conform to applicable local codes, 
ordinances, and regulations.
NOTE: Verify that all detector bases are installed, that the 
initiating-device circuits have been tested, and that the wir-
ing is correct.
WARNING
Remove power from initiating-device circuits before install-
ing detectors.
