Hochiki | ASBL
Detector Base Sounder Analog Low Freq
The ASBL Analog Low Frequency Sounder Base is designed for use with Hochiki analog sensors. Each addressable base is to be connected to a Hochiki America Corporation DCP Signaling LineCircuit (SLC). The ASBL provides an audible alarm in the immediate vicinity.
Typical applications are hotels, apartments,and hospitals. The ASBL meets NFPA 72 requirements for low frequencyalarms in sleeping areas. Studies have shown that a low frequency alarm signalis the most effectiveat waking people with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
The ASBL isdesigned for installationin sleeping areas, such as bedrooms, hotel rooms, etc. Operation and supervisionof the ASBLis fully managed by the compatible fire alarm control unit.
