Potter Electric Pad 100-6DB Addressable Detector Base

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US PAD 100-6DB is an addressable 6-wire detector base designed for use in addressable fire alarm detection systems. This base provides the mounting and wiring interface between the detection loop and a compatible addressable detector head, allowing the detector to communicate discrete address and status data back to the fire alarm control panel. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians as part of a addressable loop architecture in commercial or industrial life-safety installations.

The PAD 100-6DB is used in addressable fire alarm systems where individual detector addressing is required for zone identification and faster fault isolation. It is suited for ceiling or junction-box mounting in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and other occupancies requiring addressable detection coverage. Installation is performed by qualified fire alarm or low-voltage contractors familiar with NFPA 72 requirements.

Key Features

• 6-wire addressable base configuration for use in addressable fire alarm detection loops
• Provides secure mechanical and electrical interface for compatible addressable detector heads
• Supports individual detector addressing for precise zone and point identification at the control panel
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for new installations or replacement of existing addressable bases

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation addressable detector base compatible with addressable fire alarm detection systems requiring a 6-wire base interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or qualified low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the addressable loop circuit at the fire alarm control panel before wiring or removing the base. Ensure all field wiring connections are secure and that the assigned address is programmed and verified at the control panel before returning the system to service.
