Description
The Addressable Sounder Base 6” (PAD300-SB) is a sounder base that
may be utilized in a variety of applications. The base has a locking
feature for the detector that may be used or removed in the eld. Once
the detector is removed, the sounder is accessible in the bottom of the
unit.
The base has an independent sounder module that may be programmed
as a single station, zone or all call sounder. The PAD300-SB passes
through the sound pattern sent to the sounder, therefore it may
reproduce in any pattern the power supply provides.
The panel will support any combination of detectors or modules on
the SLC. The PAD300-SB does not consume an address on the loop
and is fully programmable to operate with any input. Once activated
the sounder will also follow the input from the power source and de-
activate accordingly.
