Description
The DSS-PC-N00 covers the case where the detector base has to warn by sound and by light. Its strobe side is classified as an EN54-23 Open Category device and its sounder side is built to Specification EN54-3, with LPCB approval held for the product.
It is loop-powered, non-isolating and requires a B501AP base, the base that gives fast and simple installation for System Sensor detectors. Pure White with a Clear Lens, it flashes red, and both the sound output level and the tone can be chosen at the device or from the panel.
The DSS-PC-N00 is an addressable base sounder VAD, classified as a loop-powered EN54-23 Open Category Detector Base Sounder Strobe. The body is Pure White with a Clear Lens and a Red Flash. This is the non-isolating version, so no isolator sits in the device, and a B501AP base is required.
As a sounder it is built to Specification EN54-3 and holds LPCB approval, with maximum sound output of 96dB(A) ±3dB @ 1m (High Volume, Tone 13 @ 24V). The device holds 32 built-in tones, and the choice of sound output levels and tones can be made at the device or from the panel.
Loop loading is light, in line with the stated low power requirements: standby current is 450 μA and maximum current consumption reaches 10mA (High Volume, Tone 13 @ 24V). The unit is 55mm high with a 121mm diameter and a weight of 199g.
