The Hochiki YBO-BSB2/RL is an addressable, loop-powered base sounder with an integral visual alarm device (VAD) beacon, in an ivory case with red LEDs, for the Hochiki ESP analogue addressable fire alarm system. It fits a Hochiki standard base (YBN-R/3) or isolator base YBN-R/3(SCI), and can carry any ESP sensor, addressable beacon or remote indicator. The beacon is ‘O’ rated to EN54-23, and the sounder and beacon can be controlled independently (panel dependent).
