BEFORE INSTALLING
Read System Sensor's Applications Guide for System Smoke Detectors
(SPAG91), which provides detailed information on sensor spacing, placement,
zoning, wiring, and special applications. This manual is available online at
www.systemsensor.com. NFPA 72 and NEMA guidelines should be observed.
NOTE: 200 Series sounder bases are not compatible with remote test capable
200 series detectors.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: The detector used with this base must be tested and maintained
regularly following NFPA 72 requirements. The detector should be cleaned at
least once a year.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The B200S sounder base is used with System Sensor 200-Series sensor heads or
equivalent. For a list of compatible sensors, refer to the System Sensor website
at www.systemsensor.com. Refer to the appropriate manual for more informa-
tion on sensors.
The B200S sounder base was designed specifically to meet the needs of dwell-
ing unit applications. It offers maximum flexibility in configuration and opera-
tion to meet or exceed the requirements of UL268 and UL464.
The sounder base is capable of producing a variety of tone patterns, including
the distinctive three-pulse temporal pattern (ANSI Temporal 3) fire alarm sig-
nal now required by NFPA 72 for commercial and residential applications.
The B200S can be commanded by the Fire Alarm Control Panel to adopt the
address of the attached sensor head, but as a unique device type on the loop.
By using the address, the fire alarm control panel can command an individual
sounder base to activate, or a group of sounders in a suite or other multi-room
configuration. The command set from the panel can be tailored to the specific
event, allowing selection of volume, tone, and group. The device offers two
volume levels: 75 dBA and 85 dBA. The available tones are Continuous, ANSI
Temporal 3, ANSI Temporal 4, and March Time. In addition, some fire alarm
panels will offer the ability to command a custom tone pattern. Refer to the
appropriate fire alarm control panel manual for more information.
In addition, the B200S is equipped with the circuitry to recognize the System
Sensor synchronization protocol, enabling the sounder base to be used as a
component of the general evacuation signal – producing an NFPA 72 compliant
Temporal 3 pattern in synchronization with other System Sensor notification
devices. This requires connection to a power supply capable of generating
the System Sensor synchronization pulses, a FACP NAC output configured
to System Sensor synchronization protocol, or a separate synchronization
module.
The sounder base is intended for use with intelligent systems. In addition to
being connected to the SLC, the sounder base requires a connection to either
24 VDC constant power or a NAC circuit, depending on the FACP and intended

use. The connections for 24V constant/NAC power and the communication
loop are isolated to prevent electrical interaction between them.
When connected to a NAC, power is supervised via the NAC circuit supervi-
sion while in standby mode (EOL resistor required for Class B operation).
when activated, the B200S provides supervision of NAC power (see Figure 5).
When using a FACP equipped with a "sounder base standby power moni-
toring" mode (see table) and constant 24 V power, power supervision EOL
devices (supervision relays and resistors) should not be used (see Figure 4).
In this case, the B200S will provide supervision in both standby and alarm/
active mode. If your FACP is not listed in the table or you choose not to use
"sounder base standby power monitoring" mode, power supervision relays
and EOL resistors are required to provide supervision in standby mode.
NOTE: If the FACP's "sounder base standby power monitoring" mode is
enabled, connecting B200S sounder bases to the NAC will result in power
supervision failure when in standby. Only connect B200S sounder bases to
constant 24 V power in this case. Refer to the panel manual for maximum al-
lowable number of units per loop.
NOTE: For NFPA72 Installations, the Temporal 3 tone at high volume should
be used for public mode evacuation. The use of other tone styles and low
volume level will be at the discretion of the local Authority Having Jurisdic-
tion (AHJ).
NOTE: When not used as a supplementary evacuation system, the external 24
VDC supply shall be treated as a component of the main power supply system
and shall fall under the requirements of the main power supply system per
NFPA 72.
