Page 1 of 4 Installation Accessories Signature Series detectors mount to North American 1-gang boxes, All detector mounting bases have wiring terminals that are acces- sible from the “room-side” after mounting the base to the electrical 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, and to 4 inch square electrical box. The bases mount to North American 1-gang boxes and to 3½ boxes 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) deep. They mount to European BESA inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, 1½ inches (38 mm) deep. They also and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers. mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers. The SIGA-SB4, SIGA-RB4, and SIGA-IB4 mount to North American 4 inch sq. electrical boxes in addition to the above boxes. They include the SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt which is used to cover the “mounting ears” on the base. The SIGA-AB4G mounts to a 4” sqare box only. SIGA-AB4G SIGA-SB SIGA-IB SIGA-RB SIGA-LED Audible Base Standard Base Isolator Base Relay Base Remote LED Standard Base SIGA-SB, SIGA-SB4 - This is the basic mounting base for GE Security Signature Series detectors. The SIGA-LED Remote LED is supported by the Standard Base. Relay Base SIGA-RB, SIGA-RB4 - This base includes a relay. Nor- mally open or closed operation is selected during installation. The dry contact is rated for 1 amp (pilot duty) @ 30 Vdc. The relay’s position is supervised to avoid accidentally jarring it out of position. The SIGA- RB can be operated as a control relay if programmed to do so at the control panel (EST3 V.2 only). The relay base does not support the SIGA-LED Remote LED. Testing & Maintenance Audible Base SIGA-AB4G - This base is designed for use where Each detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective localized or group alarm signaling is required.

Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC Isolator Base SIGA-IB, SIGA-IB4 - This base includes a built-in line CAN/ULC 536 standards. fault isolator for use on Class A circuits. A detector must be installed for it to operate. The isolator base does not support the SIGA-LED Remote LED. Compatibility The isolator operates as follows: The SIGA-PS detectors are compatible only with the Signature Loop - a short on the line causes all isolators to open within 23 msec Controller. - at 10 msec intervals, beginning on one side of the Class A circuit nearest the loop controller, the isolators close to provide the next isolator down the line with power - when the isolator next to the short closes, reopens within 10 msec.

Page 2 of 4 Application Although photoelectric detectors have a wide range of fire sensing capabilities they are best suited for detecting slow, smoldering fires. The table below shows six standard test fires used to rate the sensitivity of smoke and heat detectors. The table indicates that no single sensing element is suited for all test fires.
