BEFORE INSTALLING
Please read the System Sensor Smoke Detector Application Guide, which
provides detailed information on sensor spacing, placement, zoning, wiring,
and special applications. Copies of this manual are available from System
Sensor. CAN/ULC S524 and NEMA guidelines should be observed.
NOTICE: This manual should be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
IMPORTANT: The detector used with this base must be tested and main-
tained regularly following CAN/ULC S536 requirements. The detector should
be cleaned at least once a year.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The B200SA sounder base is used with System Sensor 200-Series sensor
heads or equivalent. For a list of compatible sensors, refer to the System Sen-
sor website at www.systemsensor.com. Refer to the appropriate manual for
more information on sensors.
The B200SA sounder base was designed specifically to meet the needs of
dwelling unit applications. It offers maximum flexibility in configuration and
operation to meet or exceed the requirements of CAN/ULC S525 and CAN/
ULC S529.
The sounder base is capable of producing a variety of tone patterns, includ-
ing the distinctive three-pulse temporal pattern (ANSI Temporal 3) fire alarm
signal now required by ULC for commercial and residential applications.
The B200SA 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. The available tones are Continuous, ANSI Temporal
3, 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.
The B200SA can be silenced remotely by using a ULC listed remote silence
switch model RSM-1SWA. When operated, the base will be silenced for not
more than 10 minutes after which time the base will resound if the system is
still in alarm. The Fire Alarm Control Panel can also resound the base. The
B200SA also has a silence test feature. If when the base is sounding the si-
lence switch is pressed and held for more than 5 seconds and then released,
the base will silence but resound after 10 seconds.

In addition, the B200SA 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 a ULC 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. In this scenario, the sounder
bases will have the ability to synchronize with other System Sensor horns,
horn/strobes, and chimes using the same power source.
The sounder base is intended for use with intelligent systems. The sounder
base requires an external 24 VDC power supply. The connections for the
external power supply and the communication loop are isolated to prevent
electrical interaction between them. Refer to the panel manual for maximum
allowable number of units per loop.
NOTE: For ULC Installations, the Temporal 3 tone at high volume should be
used for evacuation. The use of other tone styles and low volume level will be
at the discretion of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (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 sys-
tem per ULC.
WIRING GUIDELINES
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code
and the local codes having jurisdiction and must not be of such length or wire
size which would cause the base to operate outside of its published specifica-
tions. The conductors used to connect smoke sensors to control panels and
accessory devices should be color coded to reduce the likelihood of wiring
errors. Improper connections can prevent a system from responding properly
in the event of a fire.
