Eaton Addressable Sounder Base with Open Class VAD, White Flash, 93dB CASBB394
About this product
The Eaton CASBB394 is an addressable sounder base with an open class visual alarm device (VAD), a flashing light for alerting people who may not hear an alarm. It suits Eaton addressable fire systems. Fit a sensor on top, or use it alone as a sounder beacon. It flashes white and has an integral short circuit isolator.
Key features
- Sound, light and detection at one point – single point connection for sensor, sounder and VAD
- Flexible use – with a sensor as a sounder beacon base, or stand alone as a sounder beacon
- Set from the panel – selectable tones and adjustable volume via Fire alarm control panel
- Limits the effect of a cable fault – integral short circuit isolator
- Certified visual alarm – certified as an Open Class Visual Alarm Device, white flash
- Second fix made simpler – first fix base
For installers
- Power: 19 – 30vdc. Standby current < 450 uA. High volume 93dB @ <11mA.
- Mounting: first fix base fixed via 2 fixings holes. 114 mm diameter, 46 mm depth.
- Cabling: 0.5 - 2.5mm/ FIRETUF, FP200 or MICC, rear entry only. Connections are to the connector block on the front of the main body; base terminal 1, 2, 3 and 4 not used.
- Compatibility: Eaton range of intelligent addressable sensors and fire systems, wired to a Compatible Cooper Intelligent Addressable Control Panel. Check your panel model with Eaton.
- Standards: EN54-3, EN54-17:2005 and EN54-23:2010. Environment category Type A / IP21C.
Frequently asked questions
Does the base need a detector fitted?
No. It can be used with a sensor as a sounder beacon base, or stand alone as a sounder beacon. For the stand alone option, Eaton offers an optional cover plate (CASC).
Which sensors does it take?
It takes the CAP320 optical smoke sensor, CAPT340 photo/thermal sensor or CAH330 multi-mode heat sensor.
How loud is it?
Up to 93dB at high volume, within +/-3dB. Low volume is 83dB and medium volume is 90dB.
How are tone and volume changed?
From the control panel. There is no need to access the sounder to alter the setting.
Will it work on any addressable panel?
No. It is compatible with Eaton's own range of intelligent addressable sensors and fire systems. Check your panel model with Eaton.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Plan on indoor use. Its environment category is Type A / IP21C, and it works at -10 to +55oC (95%RH).
