INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MODEL ASBL ADDRESSABLE SOUNDER BASE

The information contained in this installation instruction is a quick reference guide. For detailed system information refer
to the panel manufacturer's installation manual. This instruction will not address specific programming procedures.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This instruction applies to the model ASBL addressable low frequency MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
(520Hz) sounder base, which is to be connected to a DCP Signaling Line
Circuit (SLC). The ASBL is to be used with the ALG-V, ALK-V, ACA-V, BOX MOUNTING
AIE-EA, ATG-EA, ATJ-EA, ALN-V, ACC-V, and ACD-V model sensors BASE
only. The ASBL provides an audible, low-frequency alarm in the immediate 3" OCT 4" OCT 4" SQR*
vicinity. Typical applications are "sleeping areas in hotels, apartments, ALL MODELS NO NO YES
etc."
