New Integrated Base Sounder Speeds Up Installation
Apollo has introduced an Integrated Base Sounder to its range of
loop-powered sounder products. By combining a detector mounting
base and sounder in a single moulded unit, the new device
simplifies and speeds up installation.
The Integrated Base Sounder offers two tone ranges: the low
range of 55-75dB is designed, for example, as a staff warning alarm
in areas such as hospitals and nursing homes. The high range of
75-91dB complies with EN54-3 requirements for fire detection and
alarm systems and is for general use. Other features include
individual or group addressing, as well as synchronisation of
alert' and evacuate' tones where multiple devices are used.
The device also has a unique acoustic self-test facility that
can be used during installation, commissioning or maintenance
procedures. It tests itself by checking its own sound output; if no
sound is detected within 5 seconds of switching on, the Integrated
Base Sounder will transmit a sounder fault signal when next polled.
It is supplied with an integral isolator as standard; a version
without isolator is also available.
Compatible with Apollo's XP95 and Discovery ranges of
intelligent fire detectors, the device is loop powered, operates at
17-28V DC and is polarity sensitive.
