System Sensor B200SR-IV Sounder Base

The System Sensor B200SR-IV is a commercial intelligent sounder base designed for compatible addressable smoke detectors used in dwelling units, sleeping areas, and other commercial applications requiring local audible notification. Finished in ivory, it combines detector mounting and audible signaling into a single device while maintaining compatibility with existing B501BH-Series sounder base installations.

The B200SR-IV provides either ANSI Temporal 3 or continuous tone operation through an onboard jumper selection. Its pre-wire mounting plate, low-profile design, and mechanical locking feature simplify installation and maintenance while supporting modern addressable fire alarm systems. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.

Product Functions

• Provides local audible alarm notification
• Supports compatible addressable smoke detectors
• Produces ANSI Temporal 3 or continuous tone
• Shares detector address through the fire alarm system
• Supports synchronized notification with compatible systems
• Simplifies retrofit installations
• Provides detector mounting and sounder functionality
• Supports supervised addressable fire alarm systems

Electrical & System Information

The B200SR-IV operates from an external 16–33 VDC/VFWR power source for sounder operation while communicating with compatible addressable detectors through the 15–32 VDC SLC circuit. The sounder produces a minimum output of 85 dBA at 10 feet (continuous tone, 24 VDC, UL reverberant room).

The base is fully compatible with existing B501BH-Series sounder base installations and allows tone selection through an onboard jumper. It utilizes a separate mounting plate for simplified pre-wiring and cleaner installations.

Features

• Commercial intelligent sounder base
• Ivory housing
• ANSI Temporal 3 or continuous tone
• Minimum 85 dBA sound output
• Compatible with addressable smoke detectors
• Pre-wire mounting plate
• Mechanical detector locking feature
• Retrofit compatible with B501BH-Series

Mounting & Design

The B200SR-IV utilizes a separate mounting plate that allows field wiring to be completed before installing the sounder base. It mounts to a variety of standard electrical boxes, reducing installation time and providing a clean finished appearance.

Once the wiring is complete, the sounder base is secured to the mounting plate with retaining screws that become concealed after the compatible detector head is installed, providing additional tamper resistance.
