Product Overview
The Model ABHW-4B Audible (Sounder) Base from Siemens
Industry Inc. is an intelligent, supervised and addressable
detector base designed for use in standard applications
requiring an audible notification device. Each Model
ABHW-4B base generates a 3,000 Hz audio signal that
complies with NFPA 72 Standard.
Model ABHW-4B is
UL / ULC Listed, and is the first-ever
agencies-listed audible base to have the option of being
powered directly from a signal line circuit (SLC) in a two-
wire configuration
− when used with a Cerberus PRO
detector. The loop-power feature and advanced
configuration options contained with each audible
(sounder) base are not available when a Siemens Model
‘H’-series detector is used. Though, Model ABHW-4B will
function similar to that of a Model ADBH-11 audible base
when a Model ‘H’ or ‘S’-series detector is used.
The innovative loop-power option provides easier two-wire
connection for new or expansion applications where
additional wiring or power options are limited. Model
ABHW-4B can also be powered in a traditional four-wire
configuration, utilizing a notification-appliance circuit
(NAC); a Siemens PAD-series NAC extender; Model ZIC-4A,
or any
UL Listed, 24VDC regulated power supply.
Note: See the Model ABHW-4B
I
nstallation and Operation
Manual (
IOM: A6V10405587) for further information.
Model ABHW-4B provides six (6) field-configurable tone
patterns: two (2) volume levels are used with compatible
Siemens detectors and FACPs. Steady; Temporal 3
pattern; Temporal 4 pattern; Temporal 4 with low-power;
March Time 120, and Canadian March Time 30 are
supported by each intelligent audible (sounder) base.
Intelligent audible (sounder) bases wired in the same
device-loop circuit are fully synchronized with the
Cerberus PRO Advanced-Line and Standard-Line detectors,
and support the Siemens Remote Lamps, Models RL-HC
and RL-HW.
When used in conjunction with agency-listed /
compatible Siemens fire components, Model ABHW-4B
may be used in lieu of a single / multiple station smoke
alarms to achieve enhanced, system-level functionality.
Each intelligent, addressable audible (sounder) base
consists of a standard Siemens ─ Fire Safety Series ‘11’
detector-base layout ─ combined with supportive circuitry
for Cerberus PRO and Model ‘HFP’ / ’SFP’-series of
addressable detectors.
