Issue 1 Sounder base for CO and fire detectors GSA-SBT, GSA-T3T4 Description The GSA-SBT Fire/CO sounder base, which requires the use of a GSA-T3T4 Temporal Pattern Generator, adds an audible output function to the V-PCOS intelligent combination fire/CO detector. The GSA-T3T4 requires VS series control panel V2.2 or higher. It uses the same address and programming label as the detector it supports. The GSA-SBT sounder base is field-configurable for output vol- ume (low or high dBA). By default, the GSA-SBT sounder base is set for high dBA. GSA-SBT sounder bases on the same circuit may be activated through programming or as a group or zone with the use of a GSA-CRR polarity reversal module. Additionally, the fire/CO sounder base can simply operate according to the state of its detector, or it can be configured through system programming to operate in conjuction with all sounder bases on the same circuit, or it can be controlled by program rules. The base generates a loud piercing tone that has excellent wall penetration qualities. It uses the same tone generator found in the award-winning Genesis line of wall and ceiling horns. Standard Features • Compatible with CO and smoke detectors Approved audible output facilitated by the GSA-T3T4 Temporal Pattern Generator module. • High or low dB output Jumper selects low or high dBA output. • Single or group operation Optional programming and polarity reversing module configures base for group alarm output. • UL268, UL464, and UL2075 listed UL listing under smoke detector, CO detector, and audible signal standards allows application as smoke alarm, CO alarm and/or audible signal. • Attractive installation Flush mount to a wide selection of North American boxes or surface mount to optional custom-matched box.

Issue 1 Application The GSA-SBT sounder base is for use with V-PCOS detectors in applications where localized or group alarm signaling is required. The base uses the same address and programming label as the detector it supports. The base is listed by Underwriters Laboratories under the UL268, UL464, and UL2075 standards, allowing its application where smoke alarms, CO alarms, and/or notification appliances are required. This makes the GSA-SBT ideal for hotels, dormitories, and other residential occupancies where supplementary audible output is required to meet required sound levels for sleeping areas or areas subject to high levels of ambient noise. CO Applications When a GSA-SBT gets a signal from its detector to activate, there is a delay so the sounder doesn’t immediately go in steady tone. When it detects pulses on the coded riser, it activates the sounder. If there are no pulses, the GSA-SBT just sounds steady after the short delay expires. Depending on the type of alarm, the panel can select the cor- responding pattern and send the activation command to the GSA-T3T4. All sounder bases in the loop are controlled through panel pro- gramming. A GSA-CRR module can also be used.

GSA-T3T4 Temporal Pattern Generator The GSA-T3T4 Temporal Pattern Generator is an addressable device that generates sound patterns for carbon monoxide (CO) and fire signals for the GSA-SBT sounder base. The control panel sends synchronization and channel commands to the GSA-T3T4; the channel selection determines the pattern. In the U.S. Channel 1 is TC3 and Channel 2 is TC4. Temporal patterns Name Code Used for TC4 UL2075 CO TC3 NFPA 72 Fire The GSA-T3T4 module uses two addresses on the signaling line circuit (SLC). Address 1 is tied to Channel 1; Address 2 is tied to Channel 2. SLC_IN + AUX_RISER_IN +AUX_RISER_OUT + A SLC_OUT + 1 2 From previous device To next device 1.
