ØEN61000-6-3 for emissions.
INTRODUCTION
The FC430SB Loop Low Power Sounder Base provides an addi-
tional sounder function on the FC addressable loop circuit. The
FC430SB Loop Low Sounder Base requires an associated detec-
tor in order to operate, as it uses the address of the detector that is
fitted to it. Removal of the detector or loss of power to the loop will
cause the sounder to cease operating. A maximum of 45 Sounder
Bases at full volume may be connected to the loop.
FEATURES
The FC430SB provides eight tone and variable volume settings.
WIRING NOTES
The following notes apply.
1) All wiring must conform to the applicable standards.
2) All wiring must be free of earths.
SETTING SOUNDER OUTPUT OPTIONS
The sounder outputs are set as follows:
ØTone – using the 4-way DIL switch (Fig. 3 and Table 1 refer).
ØVolume – using the trimmer tool (FC490VA) (Fig. 3 refers).
INSTALLATION TO A FLAT SURFACE OR ELECTRICAL
BACKBOX
To install a sounder base, proceed as follows.
1) Feed the addressable loop wiring through the mounting flange
cable entry.
2) Secure the mounting flange to either an electrical backbox or a
flat surface as required.
3) Feed the addressable loop wiring through the sounder base
cable entry, then clip the sounder base to the mounting flange.

4) Wire the sounder base as shown in Fig. 2 ensuring correct po-
larity.
5) Fit the address flag to the detector, see Fig.5.
6) Fit the detector to the sounder base, (the address flag will be
transferred to the sounder base).
!DO NOT FILL SOUND GAP BETWEEN MOUNTING
FLANGE AND SOUNDER BASE.
!DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL WIRING TO
CONNECTION L2.
+Note: for LPCB approval, detectors and caps must be locked
into the sounder base using a locking device (Factory fitted). En-
sure that the locking device is in place before fitting a detector or
cap. See Fig. 6. The Volume Pot Blank Label must be fitted.
CABLING
Cables are to be selected in accordance with the system design
document and the requirements of the applicable standards. The
maximum section of the cable that can be connected at any one
terminal is 2.5mm2.The section is calculated based on the charac-
teristics of the cable and the load.
PANEL CONFIGURATION
When a Sounder Base unit is attached to on addressable detector,
the Sounder Base option must be set in the detector configuration.
