Model ABHW-4B
Product Overview
The Model ABHW-4B Audible (Sounder) Base from Siemens
— Fire Safety is an intelligent, supervised and addressable
detector base designed for use in standard applications in
which an audible notification device is required. The Model
ABHW-4B base generates a 3,000 Hz audio signal that
complies with NFPA 72 Standard.
When used with a Desigo intelligent detector, Model
ABHW-4B ─ which is
UL / ULC Listed ─ has the option of
being powered directly from a signal line circuit (SLC) in a
two-wire configuration. In turn, this connection feature
gives each audible (sounder) base the distinction of being
the first base of its kind to attain agencies’ approval.
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. Conversely, 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.
Additionally, Model ABHW-4B can be powered in a
traditional four-wire configuration, utilizing a notification-
appliance circuit (NAC); a Siemens PAD-series NAC
extender; Model Z
IC-4A, or any UL Listed, 24VDC
regulated power supply.
Note: See the Model ABHW-4B Installation and Operation
Manual (
IOM: A6V10405587) for further details.
Model ABHW-4B provides six (6) field-configurable tone
patterns: two (2) volume levels are used with compatible
Siemens intelligent, addressable 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 audible (sounder) base.
Audible (sounder) bases wired in the same device loop
circuit are fully synchronized with the Desigo Fire Safety S-
Line and C-Line detectors, and support 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.
