GENERAL

The range of intelligent devices are designed to be connected to analogue addressable

fire alarm systems.

These devices must only be connected to control panels that use a compatible proprietary 

analogue addressable communication protocol.

These devices receive their power from the loop, and can be controlled via the communication 

protocol(s).

The Integrated Detector Base Sounder is designed to accept a Series 200 Advanced detector.

The sounders have three volume levels and 32 tone sets. Models (MI-BSO-XX-I, MI-BSS-XX-I, 

MI-BST-XX-I) containing the character ‘I’ prior to the Customer ID code include in built isolation 

providing short circuit protection of the loop.

Up to 159 addresses are available. (Consult the panel instructions to confirm compatibility)

These are selected via the two rotary selector switches. The ‘tens’ digits go from 0 to 15 and 

the ‘units’ from 0 to 9. 

Note: if the control equipment is not capable of taking over 99 module addresses, a 

fault condition will be generated for every address over 99.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT APPROVED TO EN54-23 (VISUAL ALARM DEVICES) AND MUST NOT BE 
USED AS A VISUAL ALARM DEVICE OR TO PROVIDE A PRIMARY WARNING NOTIFICATION OF FIRE.

For isolator specification refer to document SP11-2848 available on request.

These model types must not be used as visual alarm devices to provide a primary warning 

notification of fire.

INSTALLATION

Affix B501AP to a 

suitably flat ceiling. 

Terminate the cable 

to the appropriate 

terminals.  For surface 

mount wiring the cable can enter the B501AP 

via the break outs provided.  Select the 

appropriate Tone and Volume settings via the 

DIP switch. 

Locate the main assembly on to the base by 

rotating until it locks into place.

CONTINUITY SPRING

The B501AP  

incorporates a 

continuity spring 

between terminals 2 

and 4. This allows the 

continuity of the field wiring to be checked 

without the need for the device to be present. 

Inserting the device will disengage the spring. 

Removing the device will close the loop.  

ANTI TAMPER LOCK

The B501AP also 

includes a tamper 

resistant feature that 

when activated prevents 

removal of the unit 

without the use of a 

special tool.

This method is 

consistent with the 

anti tamper feature 

across all devices 

using this base.  This 

prevents the device 

being turned to 

enable its release.

VOLUME SETTINGS

Volume setting is selected by SW6 

and SW7 of the 8 way DIP switch. The 

appropriate tone set is selected by SW1 to 

SW5 of the 8 way DIP switch (see table 1) 

The 2nd stage tone (related to the 1st stage 

tone) is controlled by the fire panel via the 

protocol.
