Potter Electric Pad 100-4DB 4-base Fire Alarm Detector

Product Description

The Potter Electric Signal PAD 100-4DB is a 4-inch detector base designed for use in fire alarm detection systems. This mounting base provides the electrical and mechanical connection point between a compatible detector head and the fire alarm wiring circuit. It is a standard component in commercial and residential fire alarm installations, typically handled by licensed fire alarm technicians or low-voltage electricians. The base is sold as a single unit and fits into the PAD 100 series detector lineup from Potter Electric Signal.

The PAD 100-4DB integrates into standard fire alarm wiring layouts at the base level before the detector head is installed.
