2451 with B404BT and RTC
(Includes the RTS451)
The System Sensor 2451
photoelectronic smoke detector is UL listed
to UL 268A specifically for use in no-flow/low-flow air-handling sys-
tems. It’s designed for installations where a standard Venturi principle
duct smoke detector is unsuitable. This is the perfect combination for
installation in ducts where the air velocity is below 500 fpm or for duct
sizes as small as 8 inches in diameter. Pendant mounted in a standard
electrical box within the duct, the twist-in/twist-out head allows easy
removal from the base for quick cleaning and maintenance. The detec-
tor can be combined with the System Sensor B404B 120VAC base or
the B404BT 24VAC/DC base. Remote testing is accomplished using our
Remote Test Coil accessory that includes the RTS451. The APA451,
Remote Annunciator with Piezo Alarm, can also be connected to pro-
vide an audible and visible indication of smoke detector status.
Architectural/Engineering Specifications
The air duct detector shall be a System Sensor model 2451 Series Smoke detector UL listed to UL 268A specifically for use in
air handling systems when used in conjunction with the B404B (120VAC) or the B404BT (24VAC/DC) base. The detector shall
operate at air velocities up to 3000 feet per minute. It shall be capable of local testing via magnetic switch or remote testing
using the UL listed RTC Remote Test Coil accessory with the RTS451 Remote Test Station. It shall be capable of providing
duct smoke detector status via the UL listed model APA451 Piezo Annunciator.
