This manual is available online at NFPA 72 and NEMA guidelines should be observed. National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, requires effective January 1, 2014, audible appliances installed in sleeping areas produce a low frequency signal that shall be a square wave or provide equivalent awakening abil- with a fundamental frequency of 520 Hz +/ 10%. 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 B200SR-LF-WH and B200SR-LF-IV sounder bases are used with address- detector 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. B200SR-LF-WH/B200SR-LF-IV low frequency sounder base generates a frequency tone around 520 Hz. Studies have shown that low frequency devices that operate around 520 Hz are more effective in waking in- in sleeping areas. It offers maximum flexibility in configuration and to meet or exceed the requirements of UL268 and UL464. sounder base is capable of producing either the distinctive three-pulse pattern (ANSI Temporal 3) fire alarm signal now required by 72 for commercial and residential applications or a continuous tone simply removing the included jumper from the device. Additionally, the is designed to be compatible with existing in- of B501-Series sounder bases. sounder base is intended for use with intelligent systems. The sounder requires an external 24 VDC power supply. The connections for the power supply and the communication loop are isolated to prevent interaction between them. Refer to the panel manual for maximum number of units per loop. For NFPA72 Installations, the Temporal 3 tone should be used for public evacuation. 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 AWG 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 (S
