The base can operate as anindependent local alarm, or as part of a zone or system alarm withsynchronized audible output.The output of this detector base is field-configurable for output tone(steady or temporal) and output volume (low dBA or high dBA).Depending on the system supporting the device loop, the base can:• Follow the state of the device it supports• Be controlled and configured for other operating modes throughfront panel programming or the configuration utilityThe base uses the same address and programming label as thedetector it supports.InstallationCautions• To avoid accidental damage to the control panel, disconnect allpower before wiring the unit.• Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be broken at eachterminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires around theterminals.Note: Always connect the base to a continuous voltage, whether theoutput tone is set to steady or temporal.Sleeping rooms: In sleeping areas, use the high dBA output andtemporal tone settings. However, if the control panel is producing thethree-tone temporal evacuation signal, then the high dBA output andsteady tone settings are permissible.AB4G-SB: When using the AB4G-SB box, install a reinforcing plate atevery knockout. (Reinforcing plates are included with the box.)Remove the knockout first and then slide the reinforcing plate into theplastic housing. After the plate is in place, install the conduit connectorand nut. See Figure 1.Typically, the base is configured to produce a high dBA temporal toneand is connected to a notification appliance circuit that outputs acontinuous 24 VDC signal. If the notification appliance circuit outputs atemporal signal, configure the tone setting on the base for steady.To install the base:1. The unit default is for high dBA output. To set the output to lowdBA, cut the circuit board trace as marked on the back of the PCboard. See Figure 3.2. The unit default is for temporal pattern output. To set the output tosteady tone, cut the circuit board trace as marked on the back ofthe PC board. See Figure 3.3. Select and install a compatible electrical box, and bring the fieldwiring into the box.4. Install the trim ring and secure using screws. The trim ring isincluded with the SB4U base. See Figure 2.5. Make all wiring connections as shown in Figure 3.6. Attach the base plate to the electrical box using the screwsprovided with the electrical box.7. Attach the trim ring to the base plate. Align the marks on the trimring and base plate, press the trim ring onto the base plate, andthen rotate the trim ring until it locks into place.8. Attach the desired detector to the base. Align the arrows on thedetector and trim ring, press the detector into the base, and thenrotate the detector until it locks into place.9. Apply power and activate the unit to verify that it is operatingproperly.Figure 1: AB4G-SB box installation1. Conduit connector2. AB4G-SB electrical box3. Lock tab4. Trim rings5. Screw6. Nut7.
