model is compatible with System Sensor Models MDL MDL3R MDLW MDL3W and SYNC 1 Diameter Height less sensor Temperature Range Refer to applicable sensor Operating Temperature Range using the Base Sensor Cross Reference Chart at systemsensor com Humidity Range Supply Electrical Ratings Supply Voltage Current Current Electrical Ratings Operating Voltage Standby Current Output Volume Volume than 85 dBA minimum measured in a UL reverberant room at 10 feet 24 Volts in continuous tone than 75 dBA minimum measured in a UL reverberant room at 10 feet 24 Volts in continuous tone volume setting 15 mA maximum 33.0 VDC mA maximum 24.0 VDC mA maximum 16.0 VDC to 32 VDC maximum base only refer to applicable sensor specification to 33 VDC VFWR maximum VDC volume setting mA maximum 33.0 VDC mA maximum 24.0 VDC mA maximum 16.0 VDC INSTALLING System Sensor Applications Guide for System Smoke Detectors which provides detailed information on sensor spacing placement wiring and special applications This manual is available from System NFPA 72 and NEMA guidelines should be observed The National Fire Code NFPA 72 requires effective January 1 2014 that audible appli installed in sleeping areas produce a low frequency alarm signal that be a square wave or provide equivalent awakening ability with a funda frequency of 520 Hz 10 Select Series sounder bases are not compatible with remote test ca Select Series detectors This manual should be left with the owner user of this equipment The detector used with this base must be tested and maintained following NFPA 72 requirements The detector should be cleaned at once a year DESCRIPTION B200S LF WH and B200S LF IV sounder bases are used with addressable heads For a list of compatible sensors refer to the System Sensor at www systemsensor com Refer to the appropriate manual for more on sensors B200S LF WH B200S LF IV low frequency sounder base generates a low tone around 520 Hz Studies have shown that low frequency au devices that operate around 520 Hz are more effective in waking indi in sleeping areas sounder base is capable of producing a variety of tone patterns includ the distinctive three pulse temporal pattern ANSI Temporal 3 fire alarm now required by NFPA 72 for commercial and residential applications B200S LF WH B200S LF IV offers maximum flexibility in configuration operation to meet or exceed the requirements of UL268 and UL464 for Temporal 3 and March time patterns The temporal 4 pattern all requirements of UL268 and UL2075 as well as private mode setting UL 464 B200S LF WH B200S LF IV can be commanded by the Fire Alarm Con Panel FACP to adopt the address of the attached sensor head but as unique device type on the loop By using the address the FACP can com an individual sounder base to activate or a group of sounders in a suite other multi room configuration The command set from the panel can be to the specific event allowing selection of volume tone and group device offers two volume levels 75 dBA and 85 dBA The available tones Continuous ANSI Temporal 3 ANSI Temporal 4 and March Time In ad some panels will offer the ability to command a custom tone pattern to the appropriate FACP manual for more information addition the B200S LF WH B200S LF IV is equipped with the circuitry to the System Sensor synchronization protocol enabling the sounder to be used as a component of the general evacuation signal producing NFPA 72 compliant Temporal 3 pattern in synchronization with other Sensor notification devices This requires connection to a power capable of generating the System Sensor synchronization pulses a NAC output configured to System Sensor synchronization protocol or a synchronization module sounder base is intended for use with intelligent systems In addition to connected to the SLC the sounder base requires a connection to either VDC constant power or a NAC circuit depending on the FACP and intended The connections for 24V constant NAC power and the communication are isolated to prevent electrical interaction between them connected to a NAC power is supervised via the NAC circuit supervi while in standby mode EOL resistor required for Class B operation activated the B200S LF WH B200S LF IV provides supervision of NAC See Figure 5 using a FACP equipped with a base standby power monitor mode and constant 24 V power power supervision EOL devices super relays and resistors should not be used See Figure 4 In this case B200S LF WH B200S LF IV will provide supervision in both standby and mode Refer to FACP installation documentation to determine if mode is available If your FACP does not support this mode or you choose to use it power supervision relays and EOL resistors are required to pro supervision in standby mode If the FACP base standby power monitoring mode is en connecting B200S LF WH B200S LF IV low frequency sounder bases the NAC will result in power supervision failure when in standby Only B200S LF WH B200S LF IV low frequency sounder bases to constant V power in this case Refer to the FACP manual for maximum allowable of units per loop For NFPA72 Installations the Temporal 3 tone at high volume should used for public mode evacuation The use of other tone styles and low level will be at the discretion of the local Authority Having Jurisdic AHJ When not used as a supplementary evacuation system the external 24 supply shall be treated as a component of the main power supply system shall fall under the requirements of the main power supply system per 72 GUIDELINES wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code the local codes having jurisdiction and must not be of such length or wire which would cause the base to operate outside of its published specifica The conductors used to connect smoke sensors to control panels and devices should be color coded to reduce the likelihood of wiring Improper connections can prevent a system from responding properly the event of a fire sizes up to 12 AWG 2.5 mm2 may be used with the base The sounder will be shipped with the screw terminals set for 14 AWG wiring If 12 wire is to be used back out the screws to allow the wire to fit beneath clamping plates For best system performance the power and wires the communication circuit wires should be twisted pair or shielded cable in a separate grounded conduit to protect the communication loop electrical interference wire connections by stripping about 3 8 of insulation from the end of wire Then slide the bare end of the wire under the appropriate clamping See Figure 1 and tighten the clamping plate screw Do NOT loop the under the clamping plate See Figure 2 The wiring diagram for a typi 2 wire intelligent system is shown in Figure 4 system monitoring for terminals 2 3 4 and 5 do not use looped wire under Break wire run as shown in Figure 2 to provide monitoring of connections 1 2 TERMINALS Function Not Used Positive Comm Line In and Out Negative Comm Line In

with and without plaster 4 octagon 31 2 octagon single gang or double gang junction boxes Connect field wiring to terminals as shown in Figure 1 and 2 Attach the mounting plate to the junction box as shown in Figure 3 To mount the sounder base hook the tab on the sounder base to the groove the mounting plate Then swing the sounder base into position to engage the pins on the with the terminals on the mounting plate Secure the sounder base by tightening the mounting screws Install a compatible smoke sensor as described in the installation manual the sensor not over tighten mounting plate
