PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Multi-Flex family of smoke detector sounder bases and syn-
chronization modules provide today's most advanced functionality
and performance, delivering flexible notification capabilities for
any installation.
The bases offer selectable steady or temporal pattern output and
selectable high or low volume levels. The three-pulse temporal
pattern is required by NFPA 72 for fire alarm evacuation for com-
mercial and residential applications.
Available (SM) synchronization modules allow temporal pattern
sounder base circuits to be completely synchronized and installed
in almost limitless configurations, and also provide an on-board
latching test function.
The sounder base requires an external 24VDC power supply. In the
absence of a synchronization module, a means for polarity reversal
is required for test and general alarm functionality. The connec-
tions for the external power supply and the communication loop
are opto-isolated to prevent electrical interaction between them.

COMPATIBILITY
-R
The Multi-Flex series is compatible with Apollo analog addressable
(XP95A and Discovery Series) and conventional (Series 60A and
Series 65) smoke detectors, including heat, photoelectric and ion-
ization types. Please refer to the individual detector documentation
xxx
for more information.
The smoke detectors and bases are designed to operate in con-
junction with UL Listed Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP). Refer
to the FACP manual for guidance on maximum allowable devices
per loop. Contact Air Products and Controls or refer to your
FACP manual for approved compatibility.

guidelines should be observed. The detector used with this base
must be tested and maintained regularly in accordance with NFPA
72 requirements. Canadian Installations must comply with the
Canadian Standard for installation for Fire Alarm System CAN/
ULC-S524 and the Canadian Electrical Code C22.1, Part 1.

INSTALLATION (CONVENTIONAL)
Connect zone circuit (IDC) to wiring terminals L1 and L2 on detec-
tor mounting base. (see Fig. 1). Provide regulated or unregulated
24VDC external power supply to sounder base terminals as shown
in Fig.1. Power supply must be UL Listed for Fire Protective Signal-
ing Systems. Please also refer to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. for zone wiring.

INSTALLATION (ANALOG ADDRESSABLE)
Connect analog addressable loop (SLC) to wiring terminals L1 and
L2 on detector mounting base. (see Fig. 3). Provide regulated or un-
regulated 24VDC external power supply to sounder base terminals
as shown in Fig. 3. Power supply must be UL Listed for Fire Protec-
tive Signaling Systems. Please also refer to Fig. 8. for loop wiring.
