Learn more about Sensor Bases
Addressable Sensor Bases are essential components used to mount and connect addressable smoke, heat, and multi sensors within a fire alarm system. Each base provides the electrical interface required for communication between the sensor head and the addressable control panel.
Designed for fast installation and easy sensor replacement, these bases allow engineers to remove or upgrade devices without altering the wiring. Their locking mechanisms ensure secure attachment, reducing the risk of tampering or accidental removal.
Many bases include integrated line continuity features, ensuring that the system loop remains operational even when a sensor head is removed. This improves system reliability and supports ongoing maintenance without causing unwanted alarms or faults.
Engineered for commercial, industrial, and residential environments, Inbuild UK's bases are built for durability and compatibility with a wide range of addressable devices. Their robust design ensures long-term performance in demanding installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an addressable sensor base?
What is an addressable sensor base?
An addressable sensor base is the mounting and connection unit that holds an addressable fire detector and links it to the addressable alarm system.
Which devices can be used with these bases?
Which devices can be used with these bases?
They are compatible with addressable smoke, heat, and multi sensors, depending on the system’s specifications.
Do sensor bases affect system wiring?
Do sensor bases affect system wiring?
No. Most bases support loop continuity, meaning the system wiring remains intact even when a sensor head is removed for servicing.
Are they easy to install?
Are they easy to install?
Yes. They are designed for quick installation with clear terminal markings, allowing engineers to mount and wire devices efficiently.
Can the sensors be replaced without rewiring?
Can the sensors be replaced without rewiring?
Absolutely. The sensor heads can be swapped without disturbing the base wiring, making maintenance faster and more cost-effective.
Are all bases universal?
Are all bases universal?
No. Sensor bases must be used with a compatible addressable fire alarm system and corresponding sensor models.
