The VAD-PC-I00 AA Strobe is a loop-powered visual alarm device that plugs in to System Sensor analogue addressable detector bases such as the B501AP.

Each VAD-PC-I00 can be individually activated (addressed) by a fire panel over an analogue addressable loop (see notes below).

The VAD-PC-I00 is compatible with the optional anti-tamper feature on the B501AP and compatible detector bases. When activated, the anti-tamper feature inhibits unauthorised removal of the alarm device.

The B501AP base has a continuity spring which allows field wiring continuity to be checked without the device plugged in.

Features

• Addressable visual alarm device
• Suitable for mounting on wall or ceiling
• Plugs in to B501AP and compatible detector bases
• White flash, once every two seconds (0.5 Hz)
• Rotary address switches for loop address configuration
• Up to 99 addresses available
• B501AP base facilitates loop continuity test without VAD-PC-Ixx device plugged in
• Built-in loop isolator
• Compatible with detector base anti-tamper feature
• Independently tested and SAI Global StandardsMark certified to AS ISO 7240.23:2014, classes C and W

Notes:

1. VAD-PC-Ixx strobes cannot be synchronised. In situations where more than one VAD will be directly or indirectly visible, VAD-PC-Ixx strobes will not satisfy the requirements of NZS 4512:2021 section 4.6.4.5

2. NZS 4512:2021 section 2.18.5 (b) requires white VADs to be marked with the word "Fire". The VAD-PC-I00 does not satisfy this requirement

3. VAD-PC-Ixx strobes are not compatible with the B501AUS detector base. They need the deeper B501AP type.
