Installation Instructions
Product Description
The ActiV Base Mount range of conventional voice
sounders and combined voice sounder visual alarm
devices (VADs) are designed for use with C-TEC's range
of fire panels and other compatible third-party panels.
However, compatibility testing with third-party panels is
recommended to ensure correct operation.
Their purpose is to visually and audibly alert building
occupants of a fire alarm.
The following base device variants are available:

BF455C/CC/W
BF457C/CC/W

All bases can be optionally used as either:
- a stand-alone base device using a separately available locking white cap (Part No.
BF330CTLIDW) / red cap (Part No. BF330CTLIDR), or
- a combined base device and detector (detectors are separately available and wired on a
separate detection circuit). The base devices are compatible with C-TEC's range of ActiV
conventional detectors and other compatible third-party suppliers.
The bases offer low current consumption, high sound output, high efficiency VADs, four selectable
primary tones with selectable secondary tone set, seven selectable messages, two selectable
volume levels and three selectable VAD flash rates. Tones, messages, volume levels and VAD flash
rates are changed using the base's 8-way DIP switch.
Certification to EN 54-3 (Sounders) and EN 54-23 (Visual alarm devices - VADs) is pending.
Mounting the Base
THE SYSTEM MUST BE COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN BEFORE INSTALLATION
Ensure the bases are installed in accordance with applicable local or national regulations. All bases
are designed for ceiling mounting, indoor use only. Do not mount bases on uneven surfaces.
BF454C/CC/W and BF457C/CC/W bases may be mounted in any orientation, whereas the BF455C/CC/W
base must be mounted with its lenses pointing directly down the length of the corridor.
Securely fix the base to a ceiling using two screws in its mounting slots (which are designed for
standard electrical termination boxes).
Please note the supplied Quick Connect Plate (Part No. BF431C/CC/QC) is an easy-to-fit mounting
accessory that can assist with cabling to the bases.
