Product overview
The VES VF5651 XP95A sounder beacon base combines local audible and visual alarm indication with a compatible sensor mounting arrangement. It is loop powered and individually addressed, with synchronized tones and flash operation. The beacon follows the sounder and is not independently switched. A detector or a suitable cap is selected according to the installation; verify the exact panel protocol, loop loading and supported control functions before specifying the assembly.

Applications
Enclosed-area notification using the documented compatible sensor/base or capped standalone arrangement. Establish sound coverage and visual-notification suitability for the approved design.
Selection and project integration
Share the fire alarm drawings, equipment schedule, compatible panel platform and cause-and-effect requirements with UDCT. Selection should confirm device protocols, supported interfaces, circuit supervision, power and standby calculations, and the exact enclosure or module arrangement.
Use the current manufacturer documentation to check compatibility, wiring limits, software requirements and approval scope. Commissioning should verify the configured alarm, fault, indication and control functions as part of the complete system. Remote reporting also requires a compatible receiving service and confirmation of local network availability.
