ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT SPECIFICATIONS

IntroductionIntroduction

The ADB-3 and ADBI-60 audible bases contain a prewired

audible piezo-electric device that produces an 85db signal

for localized annunciation. The ADB-3 is designed to be

used with conventional Series 3 plug-in detectors. The

ADBI-60 is designed for use with addressable analog “X”

and intelligent “I” Series plug-in detectors. Typical applica-

tion includes all areas that normally would require localized

audible annunciation such as hotel, motel, apartment,

condominium, and dormitory rooms. The ADB-3 and ADBI-

60 are UL listed and NYMEA approved.

OperationOperation

ADB-3

The ADB-3 is powered by a conventional zone of the

system control panel with operation of the piezo electric

device being controlled via terminal #6 of the detector

base. During the supervision or no alarm condition, circuit

ground to the ADB-3 is absent and there is zero current

flow. Upon alarm of its detector, circuit ground is provided

to the ADB-3 via the base contact of terminal #6 and the

audible device is activated producing an 85db audible

signal which serves as the local alarm.

The ADB-3 is turned off by the reset of the system control

panel. The system guarantees that only one auxiliary or

remote device will activate per zone.

The ADB-3 operates with an input zone power of 18 VDC-

24 VDC and requires a 4” square, 2½” deep electrical box.

CAUTION: The ADB-3 is not to be used for primary

building evacuation, but only as a

supplemental audible signal device.

ADBI-60

The Audible Base Model ADBI-60 consists of a standard

Cerberus Pyrotronics Series 3 base combined with sup-

portive circuitry for the “X” and “I” Series Detectors and an

audible device. All field wiring terminates at two of the four-

position terminal blocks located on the back of the unit.

The ADBI-60 can be used with the MXL, MXL-IQ or IXL

Systems.

Several different configurations can provide audible signal

circuit power to the ADBI-60 at terminals 1 through 4, as

shown in diagrams 2, 3, 4 and 5 (See the typical Installa-

tion/Wiring Diagram Section). During the supervision state

(no alarms), the polarity of the power to all ADBI-60’s is in

reversed normal state, resulting in zero current flow to

each base.

When any alarm is reported to the system, the power to all

ADBI-60’s reverses polarity, but no audible sounds. The

system may then selectively command the ADBI-60, under

programmed control, to become audible. All ADBI-60

bases are capable of sounding simultaneously, individually

or in any combination depending upon the system Pro-

gram and control panel. The ADBI-60 is UL 268 listed and

achieves the audibility sound output of 85 decibels at ten

feet.

CAUTION: The ADBI-60 is not to be used for primary

building evacuation, but only as a

supplemental audible signal device.

Application DataApplication Data

The ADB-3 is fully compatible with Series 3 plug-in detec-

tors. When an ADB-3 is used with a compatible detector,

no remote relay or lamp device can be used with that

same detector. No more than thirty (30) compatible

detectors of any type or combination (other than thermals

or manual stations) may be used on any one Cerberus

Pyrotronics conventional system detector circuit.

The ADBI-60 is compatible only with Cerberus Pyrotronics

MXL or IXL addressable detectors. No more than sixty (60)

“I” Series detectors on MXL or IXL loops may be used on

any one addressable initiating circuit.

The smoke detectors used with the ADB-3 and ADBI-60

are subject to the maximum 30 ft. center spacing (900 sq.

ft.) as referred to in the National Fire Protection Association

Standard 72. This spacing, however, is based on ideal

conditions, namely, smooth ceiling, no air movement, and

no physical obstructions between the fire source and the

detector. This spacing should be used as a guide or

starting in detector installation layout. Do not mount

detectors in areas close to ventilating or air conditioning

outlets. Exposed joists or beamed ceilings may also effect

safe spacing limitations for detectors. It is mandatory that

NFPA 72 and good engineering judgement be applied

regarding detector locations and spacing.

Architect/Engineers SpecificationsArchitect/Engineers Specifications

The audible device that shall be used for localized annun-

ciation shall be contained in a plug-in twist lock detector

base that is compatible with Cerberus Pyrotronics “3”, “X”

or “I” Series plug-in detectors. The detector base shall

contain a prewired piezo electric device that will produce

an audible signal at a minimum of 85 db at 10 feet.

The audible device when used with a standard Cerberus

Pyrotronics conventional zone fire alarm system shall be

the ADB-3. Power shall be provided to the ADB-3 audible

base through the zone wires of the fire alarm control panel.

The input power provided shall be 18 VDC- 24 VDC. The

fire alarm panel shall guarantee that one audible base

model ADB-3, or one remote relay model RR-3/3S or one

remote lamp model RL-30 or RL-40 will activate per zone.

Once activated the ADB-3 shall be silenced via the reset of

the control panel.

Th audible device, when used with the addressable/

analog, Cerberus Pyrotronics fire alarm MXL or IXL Sys-

tems, shall be the ADBI-60. Power shall be provided to the

ADBI-60 by the system if the total power requirement is

less than 3.0 amps or from a separate auxiliary power

supply if the total power requirement exceeds 3.0 amps.

100% of all audible bases shall be capable of sounding

simultaneously, individually or in any combination. Once

initiated, the audible base shall lock into alarm and must

be silenced at the MXL or IXL System control panel or

MXL’s optional printer. The audible base, when used with

the Cerberus Pyrotronics addressable/analog System MXL

or IXL, shall require input power of 28-48 VDC peak

fullwave or 20-27 VDC while on battery.

The audible bases shall be UL listed.

1. The maximum number of ADBI-60’s per a AA-30U,

AE-30U, ICP, MMB-1, CES or CSM-4 Bell power loop is

40, with no other devices connected, and with the

maximum loop current available.

NOTE: The number of ADBI-60’s cannot exceed the

maximum current available to the loop. See the IXL

Manual, P/N 315-092371, or the MXL Manual, P/N 315-

092036, for the compatibility details of ICon, ALD and

audible circuit wiring.

2. Maximum line resistance permitted (both wires), not

including the end of the line resistor, is 3 ohms. A

minimum of 14 AWG wire must be used.

3. T-tapping of the audible circuit (Diagrams 2, 3, 4, and 5)

is not allowed.

NOTE: The 24 VDC external power source should not

be powering any other devices that could generate

noise on the line, such as a Voice Alarm system or

devices which are not part of the fire alarm system. If

there is any ground detection with the 24 VDC external

power, disconnect it.

4. Use the AA-30U for either Class A or Class B wiring; the

AE-30U for Class B wiring only (Diagrams 2 and 3).

5. If the ADBI-60 is powered by MXL (Diagrams 4 and 5),

the total system power available for indicating appli-

ances is 3A. If more than 3A is required, use the

configuration in Diagram 2 or Diagram 3 for auxiliary

power.

6. Connect terminal 6 of the PS-35 (Diagrams 2 and 3)

to the minus DC side of the MXL main power supply for

proper ground fault supervision.

7. Each audible base is marked to indicate its type

(ADBI-60 or ADB-3):

oADBI-60

oADB-3

The boxes are usually marked with a check mark.

However, if the audible portion of an ADBI-60 is

polarized for reverse polarity detection, the unit is

marked with an S. If it is not marked with an S, the

firealarmresources.com

audible portion of the unit does not have reverse

polarity detection. In either case, each unit must be

tested for proper operation.
