Model B401BH-2 sounder bases is intended for use with
System Sensor 400 Series plug-in sensor heads in conventional
2-wire plug-in systems. Refer to systems manuals
for the maximum allowable number of units per loop. The
B401BH-2 requires an external 24VDC (nominal) supply
with reverse polarity capability. The connections of the external
supply (terminals 1 and 2) and the initiating loop
(terminals 3, 4, and 5) are isolated in the B401BH-2 to prevent
electrical interaction between them.
A loop of horns can be made to sound by reversing the polarity
of the external supply.
NOTE: When the associated system is NOT used as a supplementary
evacuation system, the external 24VDC supply
must be treated as a component of the main power supply
system with the result that it falls under the requirements
of NFPA 72.
