Fire alarm systems Addressable sounder base 3378
High or low sound output
Three different tones and priority levels
Connected directly on the COM loop

General

3378 consists of an analog base (a modified
3312) mounted together with a sounder,
which gives an ultra slim profile. Two
flying leads from the sounder are plugged
into two flying leads from the base. The
base is thereafter mounted on the sounder in
the ceiling, so that the detector can be
plugged in the base. The base is connected
directly to the COM loop like the base 3312.

High or low sound output

The volume is selected via a jumper in the
sounder (high or low sound output).

Tones

Three tones are available:
Continuous 510 Hz
Pulsed (Intermittent) 510 Hz,
0.5s / 0.5s
Two-tone (Alternating) 510/610 Hz,
0.25s / 0.25s

Priority levels

Three priority levels are available in system
EBL512 and two in system EBL128. For
each level an output control expression and a
tone is programmed (via Win512 / Win
128). The sounder can, for example, be used
for pre-warning, fire alarm and general fire
alarm with a different tone for each type of
alarm.

Address & Mode setting

For COM loop address setting, the address
setting tool 3314 is used. The sounder has
one address and the detector plugged in the
base has one address. There are two address
labels where the address respectively can be
written.
3314 is also used to set the mode:
NORMAL mode: 3378 (3378 in
Win512 / Win128).
2330 mode: Can not be used.
2312 mode: Can not be used.

Miscellaneous

The address setting tool 3314 is connected to
the COM loop terminals (SA / SB) to set the
sounder's COM loop address. The detector's
COM loop address is set in the detector.
3378 is power supplied via the COM loop,
i.e. the number of sounder bases is
depending on the other units connected to
the same COM loop.
Two 8 mm spacers are supplied for easier
access of surface mounted cables to the unit.

Product applications

Used in the systems EBL512 (SW version >
2.2) and EBL128 when a sounder is
required in the same room as a detector (e.g.
a hotel room). The sounder base is intended
for indoor use and in dry premises.
