Intelligent Detector Bases and Wireless Gateway Wiring an Isolator Base
9.4  Wiring an Isolator Base
The B224BI Isolator Base will isolate its detector from short circuits that occur on the SLC connected at terminals 2 and 3. It will not 
isolate its installed detector from short circuits that occur on the SLC connected at terminals 1 and 2. In Class X applications, the loss of 
a single detector during a short circuit is not acceptable, and an isolator module must be installed as shown in the figure below.
9.5  Wiring a Relay Base
Figure 9.3 shows typical wiring of a B224RB plug-in relay detector base connected to an SLC.
