Nittan EV-ABS User manual
Technical Manual: EV-ABS - 000011 (Changes are subject to DCRN)
Section 1 - INTRODUCTION
The EV-ABS analogue addressable base sounder for indoor use is a
part of the evolution addressable range of devices.
EV-ABS gives system designers a new, low profile designed sounder,
whilst giving installers reduced installation time with the sounder’s
wide cable access entry and rising clamp terminals.
16 different tone options can be selected on the sounder, each of
them having one main alarm tone and a separate alert tone.
Activating the main alarm tone overrides the alert tone.
Section 2 - CONFIGURATIONS
The low current analogue addressable sounder EV-ABS can be
configured in two ways.
As a sounder base to an Evolution detector, the EV-ABS is fitted with
a STB4-EV-AB base.
EV-ABS can also be used as a stand-alone ceiling or wall mounted
sounder, available with an option of either a red or a white
cap/plate depending on your fire system requirements.
Installation and address setting is easily accomplished as there is a
large address window especially cut out of the base area of the
STB4-EV-AB enabling the address to be set without the need to
remove the base from the sounder.
Section 3 - OPERATION
The EV-ABS is connected directly on the detector line as all other
Nittan Evolution detectors and devices.
The control equipment must be capable of controlling and operating
the EV-ABS base sounder. If in doubt, please check with the panel
manufacturer for compatibility confirmation.

Section 7 - ADDRESS SETTING
To set the address of the device, set the address switch by adding
up the numbers on the left or right side. For example to set
address 24, set switch 4 and 5 to the ‘ON’ position. Switch 4 gives
you 8 and setting switch 5 adds 16 which gives the address 24. In
the example to the left, the address is set to 49 (1 + 16 + 32).
Section 8 - VOLUME
To set the volume, place the link in high or low volume position.
Section 9 - TONE CONFIGURATION
To set the sound pattern, set the tone selection switch according
to the table below. In the example to the left, tone 13 is selected
as switch 1 and 2 is on and switch 3 and 4 is off.
