Introduction
The EN54-23 Open Class
ered Beacon-Sounder Base is designed to be driven
from a FIRECLASS controller via the addressable loop.
The FC430LPBSB LP is designed to be fitted between
a detector and a 4" mounting flange.
A 'Type A' mounting flange is supplied with the base
and can be fixed to a flat surface or a suitable electrical
backbox with standard 50 mm, or 70 mm fixing centres.
Alternatively, a DAB3-4 mounting flange (to be ordered
separately, refer to "Order Information" on page 14)
can be used with surface mount trunking.
Fig. 1 shows a general view of the base.
The beacon-sounder base may be used without a detec-
tor by fitting a blanking cap (see "Order Information" on
page 14).
The detector or blanking cap must be locked onto the
beacon-sounder base by using a locking device (sup-
plied).

PROGRAMMING
The sounder has four volume settings:
 High (90 dB ±3),
 Mid High (80 dB ±3),

Mid Low (70 dB ±3) and
 Low (60 dB ±3).
The beacon emits a white flashing light and has two
flash rates:

Slow Flash (½ Hz), or
 Fast Flash (1 Hz).
The FC430LPBSB LP Beacon-Sounder Base devices are
synchronised, but not synchronous with other sounders
(FC430SB/FC410SNM) and beacons (FC430SAB).
The first flash of the beacon is synchronised with the
start of the tone.
The FC430LPBSB LP Beacon-Sounder Base has a built
in two port isolator.
The FC430LPBSB LP Beacon-Sounder Base requires
two addresses, not including the associated detector.
