1. Description
This document provides instructions for mounting and wiring the detector bases
PAD100-LFSB and PAD100-SPKB. The following detectors are compatible with detec-
tor bases PAD100-LFSB and PAD100-SPKB.

Wiring using the PAD100-LFSB base. In Class A arrangement two separate conduc-
tors would return from the last detector base to a listed compatible Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP).

2b. Field Wiring Diagram for PAD100-SPKB
Typical field wiring diagrams for the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) (FIGURE 4). The SLC
supports NFPA wiring Class B, A and X. The PAD100-SPKB offer a choice of field
selectable power taps: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 watts (FIGURE 5) for use with either 25
VRMs or 70.7 VRMs audio amplifiers. The frequency range of the PAD100-SPKB is
400-4000 Hz. The PAD100-SPKB is suitable for line supervision. The PAD100-SPKB in-
cludes DC blocking capacitor which allows for supervision voltage of either polarity.

3. Wiring Instruction
To ensure proper installation of the detector head to the base, wires shall be

dressed properly at the time of installation
When using PAD100-SPKB / PAD100-LFSB base, observe the correct polarity of

SLC wiring.
NOTICE:
 THE WIRING TO BE USED SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS
OF ARTICLE 300.3(B) OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, NFPA 70, AS WELL
AS ARTICLE 210.
 THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 72.
 DO NOT USE LOOPED WIRE UNDER TERMINALS. BREAK WIRE RUN TO
PROVIDE SUPERVISION OF CONNECTION.
CAUTION!
Break wire runs to provide supervision for connections made to each wire pair.

 When installing, route field wiring away from sharp projections, corners and
internal components.
Detector Base Mounting
PAD100-LFSB / PAD100-SPKB should be mounted directly on the electrical box (FIG-
URE 6a) or to the LFSBBB-W back box (FIGURE 6b). The PAD100-LFSB / PAD100-SPKB
mounting holes are configured for a 4" x 2-1/8" deep square box. Use a box for each
base and run the power circuit to all base locations.
Use 12 to 18 AWG conductors to connect to terminals of bases. It is
recommended that the SLC conductors be color-coded to avoid wiring errors and
assist in system troubleshooting. Improper SLC connections may prevent the system
from operating normally. Disconnect power to the SLC until the detectors are
installed.
1. Wire the detector bases according to Field Wiring Diagrams.
2. Use the dip switches (SECTION 11) to set address(es) (1 - 127) for each detector
head.
NOTICE:
 THE PAD100-LFSB /PAD100-SPKB OBTAINS THE ADDRESS FROM THE
DETECTOR HEAD.
 THE DETECTORS AND THE PAD100 MODULES MUST HAVE INDIVIDUAL
ADDRESS(ES).
3. To install the detector head onto the base, match the detector heads to the
base using the alignment feature and twist clockwise until the detector heads
snap into place (FIGURE 6a).
