Safety Safety Safety notices The safety notices must be observed in order to protect people and property. The safety notices in this document contain the following elements: Symbol for danger Signal word Nature and origin of the danger ...
Page 10
Safety Signal word The signal word classifies the danger as defined in the following table: Signal word Danger level DANGER DANGER identifies a dangerous situation, which will result directly in death or serious injury if you do not avoid this situation.
Safety regulations for the method of operation National standards, regulations and legislation Siemens products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant European and international safety standards. Should additional national or local safety standards or legislation concerning the planning, assembly, installation,...

Disregard of the safety regulations Before they are delivered, Siemens products are tested to ensure they function correctly when used properly. Siemens disclaims all liability for damage or injuries caused by the incorrect application of the instructions or the disregard of danger warnings contained in the documentation.
We are grateful for any suggestions for improvement. Standards and directives complied with A list of the standards and directives complied with is available from your Siemens contact. Release Notes Limitations to the configuration or use of devices in a fire detection installation with a particular firmware version are possible.
Setup and function Setup and function Setup The sounder base FDSB291 serves to provide an acoustic alarm in an addressed fire detection system FS20. The loud sound of the sounder base can be clearly heard as a danger signal when a fire alarm sounds.
Setup and function 3.1.2 Product version ES The product version ES provides the technical status of a device in terms of software and hardware. The product version is provided as a two-digit number. The details of your device's product version can be found: On the packaging label ...
FDUD293, a quiet test sound can be activated. A function test is only possible if a point detector is inserted in the sounder base FDSB291. Base sounders with product version ≥30, which are operated on point detectors with product version ≥30, are synchronized to alarm sounders (product version ≥30...
Setup and function 3.2.4 Diagnosis levels The FDSB291 sounder base monitors its operation largely autonomously. The following diagnosis levels are derived from the different control measurements: Normal Observe information Fault For details, see table below. When a fatal error occurs, which impairs the proper function of the sounder base, a fault message is signaled.
Setup and function 3.2.5 Behaviour in degraded mode Applicable for the FDnet: If the main processor of the fire control panel fails, the control panel enters degraded mode operation. Depending on the control panel, the fire control panel may continue to provide the main alarming functions and signaling functions in degraded mode operation.
Setup and function 3.3.3 Connection terminal DBZ1190-AB Auxiliary terminal for connecting cables For T-branches of additional cabling for cable shielding, detector heating units, sounder base, external alarm indicators, etc. For wire diameters of 1 … 2.5 mm 3-pin ...
No direct interface to detector exchanger and tester FDUD292 and to intelligent detector tester FDUD293. A function test of the sounder base FDSB291 with a detector exchanger and tester FDUD292 or an intelligent detector tester FDUD293 is only possible if a point detector is inserted in the sounder base FDSB291.
Mounting / Installation Mounting / Installation Assembly The sounder base is fitted directly on the ceiling. The recess-mounted cable entry or surface-mounted cable entry is as for a standard detector base. 1. Insert cables. 2. Use two screws to secure sounder base to ceiling. Ensure that the cables aren't pinched.
Mounting / Installation Electric connection Note the positive and negative connections. Only connect one wire per terminal. This is the only way of ensuring a problem- free connection over the device's entire service life. You will need at least one auxiliary terminal to connect the base sounder. Two ...

Mounting / Installation Designation plate FDBZ291 1. Label designation plate FDBZ291 with location address of point detector or alarm sounder. 2. Note the small mark on the installed point detector or alarm sounder and slide designation plate into detector base or sounder base. Installation of designation plate FDBZ291 1 Designation plate FDBZ291 3 Marks on point detector/alarm...
Operating the sounder base on a collective detector line prevents alarms and faults from being recorded and processed. Fire may spread unhindered. Do not use the sounder base FDSB291 on a collective detector line. The device is commissioned via the control panel. The exact procedure is described in the control panel documentation.
Configuration Configuration The following chapters contain the specifications of the different tones. The specifications differ for sounder bases with product version <30 and product version ≥30.

Maintenance / Repair Status retrieval The FDSB291 sounder base has a proximity interface (MC link). Using this interface, it is possible to read out data from the device in a proximity method over short distances with the detector exchanger and tester FDUD292 or the intelligent detector tester FDUD293.
