Product Overview
Models ADB-11 and ADBX-11 are audible-base
detectors that contain a pre-wired, audible and piezo-
electric device that produces an 85db signal for
localized annunciation. Model ADB-11 is designed to
be used with conventional Series 11 plug-in detectors,
and Model ADBX-11 is designed for use with
addressable, analog Model FP-11 and Model FPT-11
detectors.
Typical application includes all areas that normally
would require localized, audible annunciation, such as:
hotel, motel, apartment, condominium, and dormitory
rooms. Model ADB-11 and Model ADBX-11 are
UL listed.
Specifications
ADB-11
Model ADB-11 is powered by a conventional zone of
the system control panel with operation of the piezo-
electric device being controlled by the detector. During
the supervision or non-alarm condition, circuit ground to
Model ADB-11 is absent, and there is zero current flow.
Upon alarm to its detector, circuit ground is provided
to Model ADB-11, via the base contact, and the audible
device is activated, producing an 85db audible signal,
which serves as the local alarm.
Model ADB-11 is turned off by the reset of the system
control panel. The system control panel guarantees
that only one (1) auxiliary or remote device will activate
per zone. The addition of a jumper wire between
terminals 7 and 8 on the audible base changes the
tone from steady to temporal. Model ADB-11 operates
with an input-zone power of 17 VDC
─ 31 VDC, and
requires a 4" square, 2½"-deep electrical box.
ADBH-11
There is a smoke-detector accessory, Model ADBH-11,
that combines detector-base and audible-device functions.
Typical applications for use of Model ADBH-11 include:
dormitories, hotels, motels, apartments, etc. ADBH-11
meets the audibility requirements for smoke alarms as
specified in UL217: ‘Single and Multiple Station Smoke
Alarms.’
When used in conjunction with listed, compatible
equipment, Model ADBH-11 may be used
─ in lieu of
single / multiple-station smoke alarms ─ to achieve
enhanced system-level functionality.
