Isolating Base

Isolating Base

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Isolating Base by Fireboy-Xintex is designed to detect and isolate short circuit faults on XP95 loops and spurs. It is powered by the loop, sensitive to polarity, and uses an XPERT card to set the detector address. In the event of a short circuit, a yellow LED lights up, but the associated detector remains operational. The system continuously senses voltage, automatically restoring power and signals once the fault is cleared. Up to 20 devices can be installed between isolating bases, provided the total switch-on surge current does not exceed 50mA at 17.5 volts.

- Supports installation of up to 20 smoke detectors between isolating bases.
- Equipped with a high brightness LED for clear indication.

Isolating Base-1

USCG Type Approved Standard Features - The equivalent of up to 20 smoke detectors may be installed between isolating bases - High brightness LED The Isolating Base senses and isolates short circuit faults on XP95 loops and spurs. The base is loop powered, polarity sensitive and accepts the XPERT card to set the associated detector address. In short circuit conditions, the integral yellow LED is illuminated. The detector associated with the base remains active under short circuit conditions. Voltage sensing is continuous so that power and signals to the affected section are restored automatically when the fault is cleared. Up to twenty devices (detectors and XP95 interface units) may be installed between isolating bases provided that their total switch on surge current does not exceed 50mA at 17.5 volts.
