Fire Alarm Detector Bases in Bhopal

A detector base is the ceiling fitting that carries the wiring and holds the detector head, so the head can be removed for testing or replacement without disturbing the cables. FPS supplies standard, isolator, relay, sounder, heater and intrinsically safe detector bases from Notifier, Morley by Honeywell, System Sensor, Apollo, Ceasefire, Agni, Bosch and Siemens in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

Apollo

45681-210APO (white)45681-361APO (black)XPERT addressing

A low insertion force detector base with stainless steel contacts for quick installation, suited to the XP95 and Discovery detector ranges. It is available in white and in black.

Apollo

Apollo Series 65 Base

45681-200APOSeries 65Conventional

The standard base for Series 65 conventional detectors, designed so detectors fit without force, which helps on suspended ceilings. Detectors fit one way only and can be locked with a grub screw using a 1.5 mm hexagonal screwdriver.

Apollo

Apollo Series 65 Diode Base

45681-201APOSeries 65Diode base

A Series 65 base for conventional systems that have manual call points and detector bases on the same circuit. A Schottky diode on the L1 IN and L1 OUT terminals keeps the circuit working if a detector is removed without permission; it is used with compatible control equipment.

Apollo

Apollo Series 65 Relay Base

45681-245APOSeries 65Relay base

A Series 65 base with one set of volt-free changeover (form C) contacts that change state when the detector signals an alarm, so the detector can switch other equipment.

Apollo

Apollo Orbis TimeSaver Relay Base

ORB-RB-10004-APOOrbisRelay base

An Orbis TimeSaver base with a single-pole volt-free changeover contact for switching external equipment. The relay energises when the detector goes into alarm and stays in that state until the detector is reset.

Apollo

Apollo AlarmSense Base

45681-244APOAlarmSenseHead removal fault

The base for AlarmSense detectors, which can only be mounted on it, used where the detector does not need an integral sounder or sounder visual indicator. It reports a fault if a detector head is removed.

How to choose

The base must match the detector range, because each maker designs its bases for its own heads. Apollo's XPERT 8 base fits all Soteria, Discovery and XP95 detectors, the XPERT 7 base suits XP95 and Discovery, and the Series 65, Orbis TimeSaver and AlarmSense bases serve those conventional ranges. The Agni FL-433/SB fits FYRLAAST detectors; the Bosch MS 400 suits AVENAR detector 4000 and FCP-320 detectors, while FAP-520 detectors need the FAA-500 LSN base; the Ceasefire TI-002231 fits Intelli-Sense and the TI-002270 fits both Pro-Sense and Intelli-Sense. Siemens DB721 and DB722 fit Cerberus PRO FD720 detectors, FDB221-AA and FDB222 fit Sinteso and DB110D fits Cerberus FIT 110-series detectors. The System Sensor B501AP takes Series 200 sensors, the Morley by Honeywell MI-B501AP takes the Morley Advanced intelligent ranges, and the System Sensor B401 is a plug-in base for 2-wire conventional heads.

Then choose any extra function. An isolator base cuts off only the short circuited section of a loop: the Agni FL-433/IB allows up to 70 devices between isolators, the Apollo XPERT 7 isolating base up to 20 detectors or equivalent load between isolating bases, the System Sensor B524IEFT-1 up to 99 isolators per loop, and the Notifier B224BI-WH is a 6.2 inch intelligent isolator base. A relay base lets the detector switch local equipment when it alarms: the Apollo Series 65 relay base and Bosch FAA-MSR420 have changeover (form C) contacts, the Orbis TimeSaver relay base switches up to 30 V at 1 A, and the Bosch FAA-500-R serves FAP-520 detectors in uses such as emergency door control. Notifier B200S sounder bases share the detector's address, so the panel can sound one base or a group.

Some places need a special base. To keep a circuit working while a detector is out, the Apollo Series 65 diode base serves conventional circuits that share call points and detectors, the Siemens DB110D conventional base includes a continuity diode, and the Siemens DB721 has a loop contact that keeps the detector line closed with no detector fitted. For hazardous areas, the Apollo XPERT 7 I.S. base accepts only intrinsically safe detectors and carries PESO (CCoE) and DNV.GL approvals, and the Bosch FDB201 is the base for the OOH740-A9-Ex detector used in potentially explosive areas. Where frost or condensation could cause false alarms, the System Sensor B524HTR heater base raises the sensor temperature by a few degrees, and for flush ceilings the Apollo Soteria Dimension mounting box sets Soteria Dimension detectors into a ceiling opening.

Finally check the fitting details. Most bases can lock the detector against unauthorised removal, for example the Apollo Series 65 with a grub screw and a 1.5 mm hexagonal screwdriver, the System Sensor B501AP by breaking off a plastic tab, and the Bosch MS 400 and FAA-MSR420 with a lock or clip. Sizes and colours differ: the Ceasefire bases are 110 mm across and 16 mm deep, the Notifier B501-WHITE is a 4 inch flangeless base, and the Morley by Honeywell MI-B501AP and System Sensor B501AP come in white, ivory and black. Notifier bases are UL/ULC listed and FM approved, while Apollo, Bosch and Siemens bases list approvals such as LPCB, VdS, CPR and UKCA, so match what your project specifies.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a detector need a separate base?
The base is fixed to the ceiling and wired into the circuit, and the detector head fits into it. This lets a detector be removed for testing, cleaning or replacement without disturbing the wiring.
Which base do I need for my detectors?
Use the base made for your detector range: for example XPERT 8 for Apollo Soteria, Discovery and XP95, FAA-500 for Bosch FAP-520, DB721 or DB722 for Siemens Cerberus PRO FD720, and B501AP for System Sensor Series 200. Send FPS your detector part numbers and panel make, and the base can be matched for you.
What is an isolator base?
It is a base with a built-in isolator that senses a short circuit on the loop and cuts off only the faulty section, so the rest of the loop keeps working. Notifier, System Sensor, Apollo and Agni all offer isolator bases, and the System Sensor and Agni versions restore the loop automatically once the fault is cleared.
What do relay bases and sounder bases do?
A relay base has volt-free contacts that change state when the detector alarms, so it can switch other equipment directly; the Apollo Orbis TimeSaver relay base switches up to 30 V at 1 A. A sounder base, such as the Notifier B200S, adds an addressable sounder under the detector that the panel can sound on its own or as part of a group.
Which bases suit hazardous, damp or cold areas?
The Apollo XPERT 7 I.S. base accepts only intrinsically safe detectors, and the Bosch FDB201 holds the OOH740-A9-Ex detector for potentially explosive areas. Where frost or condensation is a problem, the System Sensor B524HTR heater base warms the sensor to resist condensation.
Does FPS supply and fit detector bases, and how do I get a price?
FPS supplies, installs and maintains detector bases in Bhopal and across MP, as authorised distributor of Apollo and Ceasefire and as dealer for Notifier, Morley by Honeywell, System Sensor, Agni, Bosch and Siemens.
