Potter Electric PAD100-SB Addressable Sounder Base

Product Description

The Potter Electric Signal Co. PAD100-SB is an addressable sounder base designed for use in fire alarm detection systems. This device mounts in place of a standard detector base and provides an integrated audible sounder output, allowing the sounder function to be addressed and controlled independently on an addressable loop. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians as part of a networked life safety system, eliminating the need for a separate notification appliance circuit in certain zoned configurations.

The PAD100-SB is used in commercial and residential fire alarm installations where addressable detection accessories are required. It fits into systems that use compatible addressable detector bases, enabling individual floor or zone control of audible notification directly from the fire alarm control panel. This makes it a practical choice for retrofits and new construction alike where addressable loop architecture is already in place.

Key Features

• Addressable sounder function integrated into the detector base form factor
• Enables independent addressing of audible output on a single addressable loop
• Sold as an individual unit for flexible system design and phased installation
• Designed as a detection accessory for structured fire alarm system layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style addressable sounder base for use within compatible addressable fire alarm detection systems. Consult the PAD100-SB product manual and the fire alarm control panel documentation to confirm loop compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes
