Description

The Addressable Low Frequency Sounder Base (PAD300-LFSB) is a
sounder base that may be utilized in a variety of applications. The base
has a locking feature for the detector that may be used or removed in
the field. Once the head is removed, the sounder is accessible in the
bottom of the unit.
The PAD300-LFSB low frequency sounder base is designed to meet
NFPA 72 sleeping space requirements to produce a frequency of 520
Hz +/- 10% with a square wave.
It is shown that a lower frequency, centered around 520 Hz, is the ideal
to awaken sleeping occupants, even those with mild to severe hearing
loss.
The base has an independent sounder module that may be programmed
as a single station, zone or all call sounder. The PAD300-LFSB
passes through the sound pattern sent to the sounder, therefore it may
reproduce in any pattern the power supply provides.
The PAD300-LFSB does not consume an address on the loop and
is fully programmable to operate with any input. Once activated the
sounder will also follow the input from the power source and de-
activate accordingly.
