The Honeywell MB-SDRT-AA 6″ XP95 Analog Addressable Temporal Sounder Base provides local audible notification for compatible addressable fire alarm systems. This 6-inch mounting base combines detector support with an integrated sounder. In addition, the included XPert card supports address configuration for compatible Apollo detector systems.
XP95 Analog Addressable Sounder Base
The Honeywell MB-SDRT-AA supports compatible Apollo XP95 and Discovery addressable detectors. Its integrated sounder provides an audible warning when the connected fire alarm system activates the device.
This design combines detector mounting and audible notification in one assembly. Therefore, installers can reduce the need for separate local sounder devices in suitable applications.
The base also supports convenient detector installation and removal during maintenance.
Temporal Audible Notification
The sounder base supports temporal audible signaling for fire alarm notification. This feature allows compatible systems to provide a recognizable emergency warning pattern.
In addition, selectable sound settings provide flexibility during system configuration. Installers can choose the appropriate operating mode according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The integrated sounder supports local notification near the installed detector. As a result, occupants can receive an audible warning when the fire alarm system activates.
Included XPert Addressing Card
The package includes an XPert addressing card for compatible Apollo addressable detectors.
The XPert system uses an address card inside the detector base. Installers configure the address by removing the appropriate tabs according to the required device address.
Therefore, technicians can maintain the programmed detector location when replacing a compatible detector head.
The addressing card belongs to the detector communication system. It does not replace the required fire alarm control panel programming.

Electrical Specifications
The Honeywell MB-SDRT-AA operates at a nominal 24 VDC. The published operating voltage range extends from 17 to 30 VDC.
The integrated sounder requires an appropriate power supply and compatible control equipment. Therefore, installers should verify available power and circuit capacity before installation.
The sounder and detector may have separate electrical requirements. Consequently, technicians must review the complete system configuration before connecting the equipment.
Six-Inch Mounting Design
The 6-inch base provides a mounting platform for compatible addressable detector heads. Its integrated design allows the detector and sounder to occupy one installation location.
This arrangement can simplify service and maintenance. Furthermore, it helps provide a consistent appearance throughout the protected building.
Installers should confirm the mounting surface, electrical box, and wiring requirements before installation.
Typical Fire Alarm Applications
This XP95 sounder base can support many commercial and institutional fire alarm installations.
For example, compatible applications may include offices, hotels, schools, healthcare facilities, residential buildings, and other properties with supported addressable detection systems.
The integrated audible notification feature can be useful in locations that require local sounder operation. Moreover, the XPert addressing system helps simplify compatible detector replacement.
Installation and Compatibility
Always verify the detector model, communication protocol, fire alarm control panel, and power supply before installation.
Also, confirm the required sound pattern, volume setting, and XPert card configuration.
Qualified fire alarm professionals should install, program, and test the equipment. In addition, technicians should follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and applicable fire alarm codes.
Overall, this 6-inch XP95 temporal sounder base provides a practical combination of addressable detector mounting and local audible notification. Its integrated sounder, XPert card, selectable signaling options, and compatibility with selected Apollo detectors make it useful for professional fire alarm applications.
