Addendum for IF 600 Firmware Ver. 7.1

Programmable Sounder Bases
As in previous versions of the IF 600 firmware, when Analog addressable Sounder Bases (XP-95
B6SNDR) are used with analog addressable detectors, their default mode of operation is to follow the
attached detector. If the detector goes into alarm, the sounder in it’s base activates. When the detector is
reset, the sounder silences.
The Ver. 7.1 firmware allows the sounders in the sounder bases to be programmed through the panel’s
CBE table, making them appear as normal output devices.
A typical application could be in hotels or dormitories, where the activation of a detector in any one of a
group of rooms could sound an audible alarm in the entire group without the need for separate notification
appliances.
Programming:
1. In the “Programming/Circuits/Inputs” menu; Select zone type
AutSB
(Automatic Detector
with Sounder base) or zone type
AutSBS
(Automatic Detector with Sounder base,
Silenceable) The
AutSBS
type can be silenced with the system’s SIGNAL SILENCE
commands.
2. Assign an input group number to the device with the sounder base.
3. The assigned input group number also functions as the output group number for the sounder
in the detector base. Assign appropriate input group numbers to the system input devices
and program the CBE tables to provide the desired operation.
4. The sounder in the base of any detector programmed for zone type
AutSB
or
AutSBS
will
also sound when output group #254 is activated. This “all call” output group facilitates
programming of applications that require all sounders to operate at one time.
Note:
While this feature was incorporated to allow independent control of the sounders in sounder bases, The
same programming will provide control of the relays in relay bases, or the LEDs in standard bases.
