INTRODUCTION

Model ADBX-11The SIEMENS Model ADBX-11 Audible Base consists of a standard Series 11base combined with an audible device. All field wiring terminates at two four-position terminal blocks located on the back of the unit. The ADBX-11 is usedwith FP-11 and FPT-11 detectors, P/N 315-095921, and FS-DP, FS-DPT, andFS-DT detectors, P/N 315-699481. The ADBX-11 operates as described below(Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).

The ADBX-11 can generate either steady or temporal tone with the insertion ofa jumper at the terminal block. Refer to Tone Selection on page 11.

APPLICATION NOTEThe ADBX-11 is a UL268 listed smoke detector supplementary device whichcombines detector base and audible device functions. It meets or exceeds the85 dB at 10 foot audibility requirement for smoke alarms as specified inUL217, Single and Multiple Station Smoke Alarms and NFPA 72 for sleepingareas. When used in conjunction with listed, compatible Siemens equipment,the ADBX-11 may be used in lieu of single/multiple station smoke alarms toachieve enhanced, system-level functionality. Typical applications aresleeping rooms in hotels, guest suites, dormitories, day-care, and residentialboard and care facilities as designated in NFPA 72.

2. Maximum line resistance permitted (both wires), not including the endof line resistor, is 3 ohms. A minimum of 14 AWG wire must be used.

3. T-tapping of the notification appliance circuit (Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)is not allowed.

4. If the ADBX-11 is powered by System MXL/MXL-IQ (Figures 3, 4, and5) or FS-100 (Figure 6), the notification appliance circuits supply 1.5A. Ifmore than 1.5A is required, use the configuration in Figure 1 or Figure 2for auxiliary power. See Note on page 1.

5. Connect terminal 6 of the PS-35 (Figures 1 and 2) to the minus DC side ofthe MXL/MXL-IQ main power supply for proper ground fault supervision.

Note: For additional information on the modules used in anindividual system, refer to the Installation Instructions forthat particular module or contact your authorized SiemensBuilding Technologies, Inc. representative.

DETECTOR PLACEMENT

The FP-11, FPT-11, FS-DP, FS-DT and FS-DPT detectors can be used withthe ADBX-11 Detector Base. Refer to the FP-11/FPT-11 InstallationInstructions, P/N 315-095921, or the FS-DP/FS-DT/FS-DPT InstallationInstructions, P/N 315-699481, as applicable for further information.

Even though no specific spacings are allocated to the detectors used with thisbase, use 30 foot center spacing (900 sq ft), as referred to in NFPA Standard72 National Fire Alarm Code, Chapter 5 and CAN/ULC-S524, as a guide orstarting point, if practical, in a detector installation layout. This spacing is basedon ideal conditions�smooth ceiling, no air movement, and no physicalobstructions.

In all installations (except in special circumstances like computer roomunderfloors), locate the detector on the ceiling, a minimum of 6 inches from aside wall, or on a wall, between 4 and 6 inches from the ceiling.

If questions arise regarding detector placement, it is extremely important thatthe drawings provided or approved by Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. orby its authorized distributors be followed! The detector placements shown onthese drawings were chosen after a careful evaluation of all facets ofprotecting the area. Environmental factors such as air current, temperature,humidity, air pressure, and the nature of the fire load are carefully considered.Special consideration is given to room or area configuration and the type ofceiling (sloped or flat, smooth or beamed). Siemens Building Technologies,Inc.'s extensive experience in the design of fire detection systems assuresoptimum detector placement and is reflected in these drawings. Follow soundengineer-ing judgment made by qualified personnel.

DETECTOR WIRING(USING THE ADBX-11 BASE)

(Refer to Figure 6.) Audible base model ADBX-11 should be interconnected asshown in the Installation/Wiring Diagrams above and wired to the specificsystem modules and control panels following the appropriate instructions. Foroperation with System MXL/MXL-IQ, note any limitations on the number ofaudible bases permitted on each MMB-1/2, SMB-1/2, or CSM-4 audible circuit,depending on the total cable resistance for each audible signal circuit. (SeeELECTRICAL RATINGS section.)

TONE SELECTION

With audible base Model ADBX-11, the user can choose either temporal toneor steady tone. (Refer to Figure 7.)

For Temporal Tone: Terminals 3 and 4 are shorted (insert a jumper).

For Steady Tone: Terminals 3 and 4 are not connected (without a jumper).

DETECTOR MOUNTING(USING THE ADBX-11 BASE)

The detector base comes from the factory prewired. All signaling and initiatingcircuits are connected directly to the back of the ADBX-11 audible base usingthe four-position terminal blocks.

Note: The Audible Base Model ADBX-11 attaches only to a 4-inch squareelectrical box with extension.

Mounting the Detector Base

1. Route all wires out from the outlet box.

2. When the alarm LED viewing is critical, position the LED mark on the basein the intended direction (Refer to Figure 8).

3. Make connections directly to the audible base terminals located on the backof the base. Refer to the related lnstallation/Wiring Diagram.

4. After all bases are installed, check loop continuity. For ADBX-11 loopcontinuity check, refer to the System MXL or MXL-IQ Manual CheckoutProcedure.

5. If loop continuity is acceptable, proceed with detector head installation.
