Velociti® Series B200S-LF Description • Low Frequency Intelligent Sounder Base The Gamewell-FCI, B200SR-LF sounder base sets a new standard for performance, installation and aesthetics. The B200S-LF low frequency sounder base is designed to comply with 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 ideal frequency to awaken sleeping occupants, even those occupants with mild to severe hearing loss. In addition, it offers maximum flexibility in installation, configuration and operation to comply or exceed the UL Standards 268 and 464 requirements. The sounder base “listens in” to the communication between the sensor head and the fire alarm control panel to use the same address as the detector, but uses a unique device type on the loop. The FACP can then use that same address to command an individual sounder or a group of sounders to activate. You can set the command from the panel, so that it is set to the specific event, allowing the selection of volume, tone, group or custom tone patterns. • • Installation The sounder base offers the following installation features: • Pre-wired mounting plate-fits various junction box sizes. • The housing locks to a mounting plate with two retaining screws to prevent tamper resistance.
