Intelligent Products—2551J and 2551TJ Plug-In Intelligent Photoelectronic Smoke Detector    3

Introduction

This document contains important information about installing and
operating Johnson Controls 2551J and 2551TJ plug-in intelligent
photoelectronic smoke detectors.  If you install 2551J and 2551TJ
plug-in intelligent photoelectronic detectors for someone else to use,
leave a copy of this document with the user.

These instructions provide information regarding wiring, installing,
testing, and maintenance.  Follow only those instructions that apply to the
model you are installing.

Before you install the 2551J and 2551TJ plug-in intelligent
photoelectronic detectors, read and be familiar with:

the control panel system installation manual

the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)-72-National Fire
Alarm Code

System Sensor Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors
Technical Bulletin
 in the Fire Initiating Devices and Notification
Appliances Technical Manual
 (FAN 408), which provides detailed
information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and
special applications

or, for non-United States installations, applicable codes and standards
specific to country and locality of installation

Failure to follow these directions may result in failure of the device to
report an alarm or trouble condition or respond properly to an alarm
condition.  Johnson Controls is not responsible for devices that have been
improperly installed, tested, or maintained by others.

As is the case with all installations under NFPA, Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (UL), Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC), or
Canadian Electrical Code classification, final written approval of
permissible operation and configuration rests with the authority having
jurisdiction.
