Cooper CASB383 Intelligent Addressable Wall Sounder Beacon

The Cooper (Eaton) CASB383 is a combined audible and visual notification device designed for use with Eaton?s intelligent addressable fire systems. While it provides a high-powered LED flash, it is important to note that the beacon is for supplementary indication and is not intended to meet the full coverage requirements of EN54-23 (unlike the CASB393 VAD). This makes it a cost-effective choice for general-purpose areas where a visual prompt is helpful but not mandated as the primary evacuation signal for the hearing impaired. The unit features an integral short-circuit isolator, 360-degree clip-on mounting, and is soft-addressed by the control panel. Users can select from four distinct tones and three volume levels directly from the panel, ensuring flexible and efficient fire notification. Technical Specifications ? Brand: Cooper (Eaton) ?
