Product Overview
Specifications
The Model ABHW-4S Audible (Sounder) Base from
Siemens
— Fire Safety 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 with
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; 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 – as well as UL464,
UL2075, which includes 520 Hz, low-frequency
requirements for ‘Sleeping Area’.
Model ABHW-4S is made up from a standard Siemens Series
‘11’ detector-base layout, and has supportive circuitry for
Desigo 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 a usual
four-wire configuration, via use of any one (1) of the
following: 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-4S Installation and Operation
Manual (
IOM: A6V10405588) for further details.
Model ABHW-4S bases are capable of sounding
simultaneously, individually or in any combination: it is
based upon the detector type, and when it used and
configured with a compatible Siemens FACP.
Note: When Model ABHW-4S bases are used with Model ‘H’ / ‘S’
series detectors, functionality is limited, and is similar to
the Model ADBH-11 audible base.
