INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MODEL ASBL7 ADDRESSABLE SOUNDER BASE
The information contained in this installation instruction is a quick reference guide. For detailed system information refer
to the panel manufacturer's installation manual. This instruction will not address specific programming procedures.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This instruction applies to the model ASBL7 addressable low frequency
(520Hz) sounder base, which is to be connected to a DCP Signaling Line
Circuit (SLC). The ASBL7 is to be used only with detector models ACA-V,
ACC-V, ACD-V, ACE-V, AIE-EA, ALG-V, ALK-V, ALK-V2, ALN-V, ALO-V,
ATG-EA, ATJ-EA. The ASBL7 provides an audible
the immediate vicinity. Typical applications are "sleeping areas in hotels,
apartments, etc."
WIRING AND ADDRESSING
NOTE: All wiring must conform to local codes, ordinances
and regulations.
1) Connect wiring to terminals as shown. Do Not loop wire under
terminals. Break wire run to provide supervision of connections.
2) Install base wiring in accordance with the applicable drawings
and appropriate wiring diagram (see following page).
3) "The address of the ASBL7 will automatically be set as the host
sensor's address + 127. For example, if the address of the
attached host sensor is 3, the address of the ASBL7 will be
automatically set as 130 (3 + 127) with no loop power applied or
the loop wires disconnected."

CAUTION !
To ensure proper operation
connect this base to a
compatible Fire Control
Panel only. Refer to panel
instructions for proper
connection and
compatibility.
Install the bases in this instruction in accordance with
applicable NFPA standards, local codes, and the
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in failure of the sensor and
bases to initiate an alarm condition. Hochiki America
is not responsible for sensors that have been
improperly installed, tested, or maintained.
For testing and cleaning information refer to NFPA-72
for Automatic Fire Detectors for installation guidelines,
testing, and maintenance.
Use "3M" Weatherban # 606 nonflammable sealing
compound to seal field wiring conduit openings in the
mounting back box. Compliance with this request may
reduce the occurrence of the "STACK EFFECT".
