This is just a small tidbit, the RA terminal is the positive terminal for a remote annunciator like the RA100Z and the B200SR is the remote version of the sounderbase meaning it can not be coded or synchronized. The B200SR is intended for isolated operation. The B200S can be Synchronized but can only do circuit Isolation. The B200S will set off every notification device on the same circuit instead of the one sounder base.
I saw sounder bases in the Marriott residence inn in Anaheim and I saw two sounder bases but, one had a long detector thingy. Next to it was an advance, but it was white and it had chimes. The lights on the sounder bases were green
I have 2 questions. #1: If there was a full fire alarm, would the sounder bases go off, as well as the normal fire alarms? #2: If there was another smoke detector in the same zone as the sounder base that activated, then would there be a full fire alarm?
My dorm has 500hz speaker strobes in the living rooms and 3200hz sounder bases in the bedrooms. They alternate their sounds between the speakers and piezzo sounder bases, so its like BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep
A couple things, first off, the zone 1 type programming you changed is only used for reporting in zone mode and has no effect on the local system, secondly the sounder base requires 24v constant power, not from a NAC as it is required to have a power supervision module located at the end of the loop to supervise the power on the ext terminals. you do not use any NAC circuit. Also, the AR does stand for auto restore and the detector will silence itself and the other detectors when the smoke clears. The newer ES series uses the B200S bases that are programmed to activate from the panel, these are really controlled via the detector and interconnect wiring. There is a way to control them via the panel and a relay module but that is for another day. I am assuming this is a hobby for you and very well done. If you are an actual tech, you may need a little more training are some knowledge on codes.
ok actually this is also meant for home apartment condos dorms as well once you are in the condo home rooms etc in general though but this is almost high frequency but it is supposed to be low frequency 520hz beeps ish. but true this is also for school dorm rooms too and assistance bedrooms etc also.
Hello, I'm Working on a Silent Knight IFP-2000 in a coastal environment and am replacing corroded detectors and sounder bases. Of course I am setting the address dials of the SK-PHOTO detectors to the proper address but according to the B200S manual, the base has to be put into the learn mode to capture the new detector's address. Can you tell me how to do this? I cannot find the procedure in the IFP-2000 manual. Thank you in advance.
I unfortunately don't know too much about it, however reading the instructions it sounds like this is done automatically by the head installed in the base.. That is if I'm understanding it right. The only time you'll need to know addresses is if you're setting up some kind of mapping so that several bases activate when one does, and unfortunately I'm not too well versed in that, I've never had to set it up that way. I can suggest maybe posting over on forums.thefirepanel.com to see if anyone there has more information?
we got these in the elementary i think middle an abunch of them in the high school to but in classrooms they only go off if theres smoke but we do have ceiling spectra alert mount fire alarms with strobe
Zachary Fleck KR alarms is talking about the sounder base as a device. They are much more common in the UK and some systems are entirely Sounder Bases. If you want to see them just search "Apollo sounder base" and you'll find a sh1t ton of videos.
I was surprised when it sounded like a Spectralert Advance! Was expecting it to sound like a mini-horn or a home smoke alarm
Same
Well, it is system sensor. But yeah, a weird outcome. I most likely will get this for my new fire alarm system.

In other words, its a SpectrAlert Advanced integrated into a smoke detector.
Har har! That's funnty! 😂😂😂
Cool video!! Programming this in a NOTIFIER panel is a little bit different but really easy!! Stay safe have fun!! ...
Gotta love Notifier!
Solid info needed this to set up these sounders in dorm living
I have 2 questions.
#1: If there was a full fire alarm, would the sounder bases go off, as well as the normal fire alarms?
#2: If there was another smoke detector in the same zone as the sounder base that activated, then would there be a full fire alarm?
Nice! I always thought those bases did like a old smoke alarm code 6 tone or code 3 with a piezo sound to it. Interesting.
firefreak57 me too honestly then I saw the low frequency sounder base at ADI
Many of the older ones did. But since sounder bases are usually for sleeping areas, they switched to low frequency.
My dorm has 500hz speaker strobes in the living rooms and 3200hz sounder bases in the bedrooms. They alternate their sounds between the speakers and piezzo sounder bases, so its like BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep BEEP beep
Wow great smoke alarm base!!!!!!:)
Houses should have these instead of high chirp alarms
You can get these for homes, but the system is more expensive and requires quite a bit of wiring.

That smoke detector seems to have a spectralert advance horn behind it which this is a good combination for spectralert advance fire alarms.

I want to use this for home residential now
i went to a hotel with an addressable MS-9600UDLS or a MS-9200UDLS and they had those smokes in every hotel room
I like this video
From an installer POV. Doing those in a hotel is a royal pain in the ass
@@landonlefevre5167 I bet it can be lmao
Is the sounder base making the advance sound
we got these in the elementary i think middle an abunch of them in the high school to but in classrooms they only go off if theres smoke but we do have ceiling spectra alert mount fire alarms with strobe
EST makes one of those with the genesis horn if I’m not mistaken.
They Actually do. I heard one in person before.
The sound of a P2R
Why Does it sound like a spectralert advance/l series. It should sound like a home smoke alarm.
Because it is the exact same horn inside of it.
Nice vid
The last hotel i stayed at had this alarm in the hotel rooms
Great video!
They should have the same smoke alarms
Or they can choose the fire alarms witch
One wuld they even prefer
Wait, aren’t these from the UK? Or am I wrong?

Maybe you should set up the smoke detector and put the fire alarms up and put up simplex true alerts
They should program the Low frequency sounder in those bases..I can sleep threw that all day.. lol
@@TheFirePanel oh right on!! I had the slightest mind that they had em somewhere..
Surprised.
sounds like an spectralert advance
WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE A SPECTRALERT?
👏😂
Because it has a spectralert advance horn inside the base.
smokalert advanced
