Description

DI-9406 Addressable Flashing Beacon Base is
installed in field to warn people for evacuation with
audible and visual alarm in case of a confirmed fire.
The flashing beacon base can communicate with fire
alarm control panel (FACP) through a built-in
microprocessor. On receiving a start command from
the FACP, the microprocessor will control the buzzer to
generate the pre-set fire alarm sound and light the
bright LED.

1.0mm or above fire cable, subject to local codes.

Installation

Warning: Before installing the flashing beacon
base, disconnect power from the loop and verify
that all the bases are securely fixed and that the
wiring is correct on each base.
1 Before installation, make sure the enclosure is
free from scratch or distortion, and labels are
complete.
2 Installation schematic of the flashing beacon base
is shown in Fig. 2.
3 Secure the detector base (Fig. 4) with 2 tapping
screws, and wire them properly. Align the
orientation mark B on the flashing beacon base to
mark C of detector base, and rotate the flashing
beacon base clockwise to D. Refer to Fig. 3 and 4.
4 If the flashing beacon base comes with a cover,
align the orientation mark on the cover to mark A
of the flashing beacon base (Fig.1), and rotate the
cover clockwise to B. If it's used as detector base,
remove the cover and install the detector on it with
the same method.

Application

The flashing beacon base can be used as the base of
intelligent heat and smoke detectors to combine
detection and alarm in a single device. It can be
connected to the loop of FACP without additional
power supply.
