Multi Flex Sounder Base-1

Multi Flex Sounder Base Sounder Base: VF4990-0M Standard Features - Compatible panel silence functions - Sync network “self tests” to ensure synchronized output if “upstream” sync signal is lost - Sounders will operate in “failsafe” mode if sync network is compromised - Sync modules available in MR-1 enclosures, snap track or chassis mount for standard 2-gang box - Intelligent trouble reporting via onboard Trouble LED The Multi-Flex family of the smoke detector sounder cases and synchronization modules provide today’s most advanced functionality and performance, delivering flexible notification capabilities for Apollo conventional and analog addressable systems. The bases offer selectable steady or temporal pattern output and selectable high or low volume levels. The three-pulse temporal pattern is required by NFPA 72 for fire alarm evacuation for commercial and residential applications. Available synchronization modules (SM) allow temporal pattern sounder base circuits to be completely synchronized and installed in almost limitless configurations, and also provide an onboard latching test function. USCG Type Approved The sounder base requires an external 24VDC power supply. In the absence of a synchronization module, a means for polarity reversal is required for test and general alarm functionality. The connections for the external power supply and the communication loop are opto-isolated to prevent electrical interaction between them.
