Cooper CAS380 Intelligent Addressable Sounder Base

The Cooper (Eaton) CAS380 is a versatile, EN54-certified sounder base designed for use with Eaton?s intelligent addressable fire systems, offering the flexibility to operate with a sensor or as a standalone sounder using an optional cover plate. It features an integrated short-circuit isolator to ensure loop integrity and utilizes soft-addressing technology for seamless system configuration without manual switches. Both volume levels (up to 95dB) and four distinct tones are fully programmable via the control panel, allowing for customized audible alerts across different zones. With its low-profile ABS construction, wide operating temperature range of -10?C to 55?C, and single-point connection for both sensor and sounder, the CAS380 provides a cost-effective and streamlined notification solution for commercial and industrial applications. Technical Specifications ? Brand: Cooper (Eaton) ? Model/Part No: CAS380 ? Operating Voltage: 17 V DC to 32 V DC ? Standby Current: < 250 ?A ? Alarm Current: < 8 mA (at high volume) ? Sound Output: 90 dB @ 1 meter (39.37 inch) ? Number of Tones: 32 (Selectable from panel) ? Addressing Mode: Soft Addressing ? IP Rating: IP40 ? Dimensions: 102 mm Diameter x 40 mm Height (4.02 inch x 1.57 inch) ? Weight: 0.20 kg Key Features ? Integrated Sounder and Base: Combines a high-output sounder with a detector base, saving space and reducing installation time by using a single mounting point. ? Loop Powered Design: Operates entirely on power from the addressable loop, eliminating the requirement for extra power supplies or specialized sounder cabling. ? Intelligent Soft Addressing: Automatically assigned an address by the control panel, ensuring a rapid, software-driven commissioning process without manual dip switches. ? Integral Short-Circuit Isolator: Protects the fire loop by isolating local faults, ensuring the continued operation of all other devices on the same circuit. ? Selectable Tones and Volume: Offers 32 distinct tones and adjustable volume levels that can be configured directly through the fire alarm control panel. ? Low Current Consumption: Highly efficient design allows for a larger number of sounder bases to be connected to a single loop without overloading. ? Stand-Alone Capability: Can be used as a dedicated wall or ceiling sounder when fitted with a neat cover plate (available separately) if a detector is not required.
