Potter Electric PAD100RB Addressable Relay Base

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US PAD100RB is an addressable relay base designed for use in fire alarm and life safety detection systems. Relay bases of this type serve as mounting and control points that allow a fire alarm control panel to supervise and switch connected devices or circuits. The PAD100RB provides an addressable interface that communicates status and control signals back to the panel, enabling system-level automation of notification or auxiliary functions. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians or low-voltage electricians working within a structured detection system.

The PAD100RB is suited for installation in commercial and light industrial environments where addressable detection systems are deployed. It functions as a base-mounted relay interface, typically paired with compatible addressable detectors or modules. Applications include fan shutdown, door holder release, elevator recall, and similar auxiliary load switching tasks common in fire alarm system design. The unit is sold individually and is classified as a detection accessory.
