Potter PAD100-LFSB Addressable Low Frequency Sounder Base

Designed for reliable occupant notification and streamlined installation, the Potter PAD100-LFSB Addressable Low Frequency Sounder Base provides code-compliant low-frequency signaling for modern fire and life-safety systems. As a product from Potter Electric Signal, LLC, this detector base integrates an addressable sounder module that reproduces the control panel’s sound patterns and meets the NFPA 72/UL 464 low-frequency (520 Hz) requirement. With a selectable 85 dB output and support for 18–12 AWG terminations and Class A/X/B wiring, the PAD100-LFSB reduces install time and simplifies wiring for contractors. Because it uses PAD sub-point addressing rather than an SLC loop address, it preserves loop capacity and can be mapped to any device or the AFC-50 control panel for targeted or all-call activation. Ideal for security, surveillance, and centralized monitoring environments, the unit enhances audible notification while easing maintenance thanks to a removable head and field-lock option. Specify the PAD100-LFSB for healthcare, education, and commercial projects needing reliable low-frequency alerting — contact sales to add it to your next fire alarm or monitoring system.
