General Description The System Sensor Model RTC100 Remote Test Coil Kit allows for the remote testing of duct smoke detectors using the B114LP (120 VAC) or B114LPBT (24 VAC/DC) bases when installed in inconvenient or difficult-to-reach locations. Model RTC100 can be installed in almost any convenient location and can be attached to a standard 2″ × 4″ electrical box. The National Fire Protection Association has published standards and practices for the installation and use of this device. As a result, System Sensor recommends that the installer be familiar with these standards and practices, local codes, and any special requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. RTC100 Contents 1 RTS451 Remote Test Station 1 Test Coil Replacement Ring 1 Screw Pack (2 mounting Assembly screws) 1 Jumper with spade lugs 1 M02-04 Test Magnet Installation Installation of the Model RTC100 consists of attaching the test station to the mounting surface, mounting the test coil replacement ring on the detector, and routing the necessary wiring between them. This installation procedure assumes that the associated detector base is already installed and ready for operation.

Remove the decorative ring from the B114LP/ B114LPBT base by rotating it in either direction to release the hooks. Separate the ring from the base. 2. Position the Test Coil Replacement Ring Assembly on the base, as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to position the test coil directly over the 4-Position Terminal Block. Otherwise, the coil may not activate the switch during a test. 3. Route the the Test Coil Replacement Ring Assembly wires through the slot in the base as indicated in Figure 2. 4. Rotate the ring in either direction until it snaps in place. Dress all wiring, as needed. B. Wiring 1. Route four wires from the B114LP/B114LPBT to the test station mounting location. Be sure to comply with all applicable electrical codes when installing this wiring. This includes selecting the proper wire size and routing through conduit, if necessary. 2. Connect the wiring to the B114LP/B114LPBT Base and RTS451 Test Station, as shown in Figure 3. C. Test Station Mounting Attach the test station to a standard 2″ × 4″ electrical box, using the screws supplied with the box. Operation Test Position the painted side of the test magnet on the RTS451 Test Station on either the left or right side of the LED as shown in Figure 1. The LED should light within 40 seconds, indicating that the detector being is latched in alarm. Reset Reset the detector by inserting a narrow bladed pocket screwdriver, or other similar tool, into the RESET hole on the front of the test station. Gently press until the LED turns off. Figure 2.
