COMPATIBLE BASES
CLASS B WIRING
The KC2-OSH-CD detector head attaches easily to either a KC2-SB
EOL RESISTOR
Standard or KC2-RB Relay Base. Detector bases have wiring 1- 2- 2+ 1+ 5.1K, 0.5 W
terminals that are accessible from the “room-side” after mounting the P/N 06-220184-001
base to the electrical box.
• Model KC2-SB/-SB4 Standard Base: Connects the detector to TB1, TB2, TB3
circuit. (AEGIS panel terminals)
• Model KC2-RB/-RB4 Relay Base: Connects the detector to circuit
Pin 2: Positive IN / Positive OUT
and provides optional Relay functionality to the KC2 series detec- To Remote LED+ Pin 4: Negative IN
tor. (The base’s relay contacts automatically change state when To Remote LED-
Pin 7: Negative OUT
detector goes into Alarm.)
TRIM SKIRT
5 6 5 6
A trim skirt is supplied with the KC2-SB4 and KC2-RB4 bases to help 4 4

for KC2-RB or KC2-SB bases if desired. 2 2
STATUS LED
KC2-OSH-CD detectors use an LED to indicate the detector’s condi- CLASS A WIRING
tion. A flashing green LED every 30 seconds indicates Normal con-
1- 2- 2+ 1+
dition. A Trouble condition is indicated by a flashing green LED every
5 seconds. A steady red LED indicates an Alarm condition. An
optional Remote LED Indicator is available for convenient viewing. EOL RESISTOR
