GENERAL

The range of intelligent AV 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 sounders have three volume levels and 32 tone sets. Models (MI-WSO-XX-I, MI-WSS-XX-I, 

MI-WST-XX-I) containing the character ‘I’ after 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 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 more than 99 module addresses, a fault 

condition will be generated for every address over 99.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR WALL MOUNTED LOOP POWERED 

ADDRESSABLE SOUNDERS, SOUNDER STROBES AND STROBE ONLY

INSTALLATION

Affix B501AP to a suitably flat wall. Terminate 

the cable to the appropriate terminals.  For 

surface mount wiring the cable can enter the 

B501AP base 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.

Note: This product is classified as a category `O` device to EN54:23 standard for visual alarm devices. Only variants supplied 

with a clear lens will be approved to ‘O’ Class (WSS-PC-*** and WST-PC-***)

At an installation height of 2.4m and any given orientation, the specified light coverage shape and value is achieved. This 

is approximately a cone of light projected at 60° base angles from the device centre with a depth and diameter of 2.0m. An 

exact coverage shape can be seen by downloading the following drawing from the KAC website, 132962-IAV-O-CLASS-

EN54:23-WST.pdf, 133005-IAV-O-CLASS-EN54:23-WSS.pdf 

Model types using a translucent red or amber lens are not EN54-23 approved. These model types must not be used as 

visual alarm devices to provide a primary warning notification of fire.

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

CONNECTIONS

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.
