detailed information on sensor spacing placement wiring and special applications 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 low frequency sounder base is used with System Sensor 200 Se sensor heads or equivalent For a list of compatible sensors refer to the Sys Sensor website at www systemsensor com Refer to the appropriate manual more information on sensors B200SR LF low frequency sounder base generates a low frequency tone 520 Hz Studies have shown that low frequency audible devices that around 520 Hz are more effective in waking individuals in sleeping It offers maximum flexibility in configuration and operation to meet or 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 NFPA for commercial and residential applications or a continuous tone by simply the included jumper from the device Additionally the B200SR LF designed to be compatible with existing installations of B501 Series sounder 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 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 typical intelligent system is shown in Figure 4 system monitoring for terminals 4 and 5 do not use looped wire under termi Break wire run as shown in Figure 2 to provide monitoring of connections TERMINALS Function Not Used Positive Comm Line In and Out Negative Comm Line In and Out External Supply Positive External Supply Negative Base Interconnect 1 If configured as in Figure 4 and 5 reverse the polarity of the external 24VDC If configured as in Figure 5 turn on the Intelligent Relay Module B200SR LF bases on the loop should sound Latch the sensor LED on from the control panel That individual sensor should sound performing maintenance on connected smoke sensors carefully note location and address of each removed sensor 3 MOUNTING of jumper to enable tone 2 the B200SR LF mounting plate directly to an electrical box The plate mount directly to 4 square with and without plaster ring 4 octagon 3 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 RESISTANT FEATURE Do not use the tamper resist feature if the removal tool is to be used detector base includes a tamper resist feature that prevents its removal the base without the use of a tool To activate this feature break the tab the detector base as shown in Figure 6A Then install the detector To the detector from the base once the tamper resist feature has been insert a small bladed screwdriver into the slot from the top and down on the lever see Figure 6B This allows the detector to be rotated for removal The tamper resist feature can be defeated by and removing the plastic lever from the base However this prevents feature from being used again AND MAINTENANCE and bases must be tested after installation and as an integral part of a maintenance program Test the B200SR LF as follows Before testing notify the proper authorities that the smoke sensor is undergoing maintenance and therefore will be temporarily out of Disable the system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted 4 WIRING DIAGRAM ACTIVATES SOUNDER BASE S COMPLIES WITH UL268 has approved grouping for up to six B200SR LF low frequency sounder bases When wired as a group any detector in the group that has been activated by panel will cause other B200SR LF units in the group to sound This type of grouping is accomplished by wiring the grouped devices together using 6 Sounder Base Interconnect as shown in the diagram This interconnect can also be used to attach B200SR LF devices to System Sensor B501 Series bases Some Fire Alarm Control Panels FACP support the grouping of sounder bases via software in lieu of the Sounder Base Interconnect A local grouping of horns via the sounder base interconnect is not supervised therefore the groups can only be used as a supplementary evacuation It is not acceptable to group horns via the sounder base interconnect for primary alarm signaling Sounder bases which are grouped via software are not to this limitation and may be used as part of the primary alarm signaling A OPTIONAL
