Addressable Wall and Base Sounders

EN-54 addressable wall/ base sounders.

Sounders are considered as the most important of all the alarm devices. It is a mandatory requirement that sounders are used as an integral part of the fire detection and alarm system. VADs are used to supplement sounders, providing an effective means of alerting and evacuating occupants of the building, as part of its fire safety strategy.

The range of compact addressable wall sounders

with a Visual Alarm Device (VAD) includes three models with the same low current and high output specification; red and white body indoor models plus an IP rated version for either outdoor or harsh environment applications.

EN54-23 now provides clarity by standardizing requirements, test methods and performance criteria of Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) and ensures all device parameters are measured in a uniform manner throughout Europe.

The P80 is an addressable sounder base specifically

for use with the ZETTLER addressable detectors. The

base incorporates a fre alarm sounder that carries its

own address so it can be monitored and controlled

from the fire alarm control panel, which is independent

of the detector fitted to the base.

Additionally, the P80AIB houses an addressable LED

beacon to provide a visual indicator otherwise known as

a VID.
