Sounder Bases SIGA-AB4G

The Signature Series AB4G sounder bases add audible output functions to any Signature Series detector. Bases can operate as independent local alarms, or as part of a zone or system alarm with synchronized audible output. Three models provide a full range of features that meet application needs and mandated code-compliant requirements: SIGA-AB4G bases provide sounder capability to Signature Series single-function smoke detectors. They are not intended for use with combination smoke/CO devices in Fire-plus-CO mode. All bases are compatible with first and second generation Signature Series intelligent detectors when properly configured. SIGA-AB4G sounder bases match the finish of Signature Series devices, and the sound output slots complement the air entry openings of the detector. The result is a compact unit with an at- tractive appearance.
