Data Sheet

When a D132B Reversing Relay Module is used, the
LED does not latch on alarm.
Functions
Chamber Calibration Tests
Check the sensitivity and calibration of any of these
detectors using a visual check, a magnet test, or a
voltage measurement test. Refer to the D263/D273
Families Installation Guide for specific instructions to
perform these sensitivity tests.

protect property.
Compatible Products
The following products are compatible with the D273
Family detectors:
Category Product ID Product Description
Control
Panels
These detector models are compatible with UL Listed
four-wire control panels. Refer to the manufacturer’s
installation instructions to select the correct EOL resistor.
Modules D132B Reversing relay module
Loop Supervision
For loop supervision, install a Bosch Security Systems
D275 Power Supervision Module and an EOL resistor
after the last device on the loop.
Mounting
The detector has a mounting plate that attaches to a
standard four-inch back box.
For commercial and industrial installations in
accordance with NFPA 72, space each detector 30 ft
(9.2 m) apart.
Wiring
The terminal block accepts up to 12 AWG (ISO
2.5 mm
2
) wire. You can remove the terminal block
from the detector for easier wiring. The terminal block
snaps in and out of the detector.
