Siemens DB-ADPT User manual

The SIEMENS Model DB-ADPT detector/base adapter
interfaces Series 11 detectors with previously installed
DB-3S bases For Series 3 air duct detector models
AD-3P, AD-3ILP, and SA-3P, use Series 11 Air Duct
Update Kit AD-11UK, which contains both the DB-ADPT and
the required DA-304 air duct cover for Series 11 detectors
WARNING:
When replacing a detector with a different model, be
aware that existing detector accessories connected
to the base or air duct housing that were compatible
with the old detector may not be compatible with the
new detector Always read the Installation Instruc-
tions accompanying the detector to determine detec-
