C-Tec ActiV Conventional Base Sounder VAD (C-3-8.5)
£38.06 (inc VAT: £45.67)
Summary
The ActiV Base Mount range of conventional sounders and combined sounder visual alarm devices (VADs) are designed for use with C-TEC’s range of fire panels and other compatible third-party panels. However, compatibility testing with third-party panels is recommended to ensure correct operation. Their purpose is to visually and audibly alert building occupants of a fire alarm.
The BF456C/CC/W base sounder VAD offers low current consumption, high sound output, high-efficiency VADs, 31 selectable primary tones with selectable secondary tone set, two selectable volume levels, and three selectable VAD flash rates. Tones, volume levels, and VAD flash rates are changed using the base’s 8-way DIP switch.
