Product Overview
The Model ABHW-4S Audible Base from Siemens Industry
I
nc. is an intelligent, supervised detector base designed for
use in sleeping areas of a building. Each Model ABHW-4S
base generates a 520 Hz square-wave audio signal,
complying with NFPA 72 Standard, as well as
UL / ULC
Listed applications.
Model ABHW-4S 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 base for sleeping areas.
Model ABHW-4S is fully compatible with all Siemens
addressable detectors listed in the detector tables included
in this document.
(Refer to the Details for Ordering section on Page 2).
When used in conjunction with other listed, compatible
Siemens fire-safety components, Model ABHW-4S may be
used in lieu of single / multiple station smoke alarms to
achieve enhanced, system-level functionality.
Model ABHW-4S meets the requirements specified in
UL268, ULC-S525, ULC-S529 and also UL464,
UL2075 including 520Hz, low-frequency requirements
for ‘Sleeping Area’.
Specifications
Model ABHW-4S consists of a standard Siemens — Fire
Safety Series ‘11’ detector-base layout
— combined with
supportive circuitry for Cerberus PRO FACPs and Model ‘HFP’
/ ‘SFP’-series detectors.
Additionally, each Model ABHW-4S base houses a pre-wired,
audible sounder device, capable of generating a 520 Hz
square-wave tone that produces a signal up to 85dBA at 10
ft. (3.1m) for localized annunciation.
Several power options are available for the Model ABHW-4S
audible base, and can therefore be powered in an ordinary
four-wire configuration, via use of any one (1) of the
following: 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-4S Installation and Operation Manual
(
IOM: A6V10405588) for further information.
All Model ABHW-4S bases are capable of sounding
simultaneously, individually or in any combination
─
depending on the detector type, and when it is used and
configured with a compatible Siemens FACP.
Note: When Model ABHW-4S bases are used with Model ‘H’ /
‘S’-series devices, functionality is limited, and is similar to
the Model ADBH-11 audible base.
