e PAD300-RB is an addressable relay base. It is
compatible with Potter’s addressable re alarm control
panels.
e PAD300-RB is a mounting base designed to work
specially with the PAD300 series detectors. Compatible
detectors include PAD300-PD, PAD300-HD,PAD300-
PHD.
e PAD300-RB does not consume extra address on
the loop but is assigned a sub-address from the attached
detector. It does not require an auxiliary power source.
