B200S/B200S-LF Intelligent Sounder Bases System Sensor B200S series sounder bases set a B200S-LF B200S new standard for performance, installation ease, and aesthetics. B200S Series Features • Addressability for maximum configuration flexibility • Two volume levels (75 or 85 dBA) • Multiple event-driven tone outputs • S upports Continuous, ANSI Temporal 3, ANSI Temporal 4, and March Time tones • Custom tone capability with some FACP models • A bility to synchronize with other System Sensor notification devices • UL 268 and UL 464 compliant • Pre-wire mounting plate fits various junction box sizes • M echanical locking feature prevents removal of attached sensor head • A dditional terminal connections on Canadian model (B200SA) enable silence feature • 520 Hz +/– 10% square wave tone (B200S-LF) 3035027 The sounder base “listens in” to the communication between the attached sensor head and the fire alarm control panel (FACP) to adopt the same address as the detector, but as a unique device type on the loop. The FACP can then use that address to command an individual sounder — or a group of sounders — to activate. The command set from the panel can be tailored to the specific event, allowing selection of volume, tone, and group. In addition, some FACPs will enable custom tone patterns.† The B200S series sounder bases recognize the System Sensor synchronization protocol. This enables it to be used as a component of the general evacuation signal — along with other System Sensor horns, horn strobes, and chimes — when connected to a power supply or FACP output capable of generating the System Sensor synchronization pulses. The B200S series offers several key advantages. The sounder base employs a separate mounting plate that installs on various junction box sizes to eliminate unsightly surface-mount boxes. The mounting plate enables pre-wiring of all connections to speed and simplify installation. The housing also locks with the mounting plate using two retaining screws, for added tamper resistance. The B200S-LF low frequency sounder base is designed to meet the NFPA 72 sleeping space requirement to produce a fundamental frequency of 520 Hz +/- 10% with a square wave or its equivalent. Studies show that a lower frequency, centered around 520 Hz, is the most ideal to awaken sleeping occupants, even those with mild to severe hearing loss. Agency Listings S911 The B200S sounder base series is designed for new and existing dwelling unit applications. It offers maximum flexibility in installation, configuration, and operation to meet or exceed UL 268 and UL 464 requirements.
