TELEFIRE TFB-180SA 

The TELEFIRE TFB-180SA is an advanced analog addressable detector base with integrated horn functionality. This innovative device combines the functions of a standard detector base with an addressable horn, providing a compact and cost-effective solution for fire alarm systems1. The base is compatible with TELEFIRE’s analog addressable detector series and can be directly connected to the SLC line without requiring separate power supply.

Key Features

Integrated Horn: The TFB-180SA features a built-in addressable horn capable of producing various sound patterns according to control panel programming

Configurable Sound Patterns: Three switches allow setting of horn operation:

• Switch 1: Horn operation mode setting
• Switch 2: Volume control (high/low)
• Switch 3-4: Sound pattern selection

Available Sound Patterns:

• Constant sound 910Hz
• Rising sound from 500Hz to 1200Hz over 3.5 seconds
• Alternating sound between 910Hz and 685Hz at 2Hz frequency
• Intermittent sound half second 910Hz, half second pause
• Descending sound from 1200Hz to 500Hz per second
• Three pulses 500ms at 910Hz, then 1.5 second pause
• Up-down modulated sound every 0.5 seconds in 800-1000Hz range
• Rising sound from 800Hz to 970Hz per second

Addressable Control: The horn has a separate address and can be independently programmed in the control panel. The “Silenced Horn” function allows horn silencing from the control panel

Technical Specifications

• Diameter (including base): 124 mm
• Height (without detector): 58 mm
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C to +60°C
• Relative Humidity: 10% to 93% (non-condensing)
• Operating Voltage: 20V modulated (from SLC line) + 24VDC (from panel or TPS-74A/TPS-34A power supply)
• Current Consumption from SLC line:
  • Quiescent state: 180 µA
  • Alarm state: 2 mA
• Current Consumption from 24VDC line:
  • Quiescent state: 10 mA
  • Alarm state: 22 mA

Installation and Programming

Address Programming: The horn address must be burned to the device card using PROG-4000 software or TFC-7000 technician kit. Address programming applies only to the horn; the detector has its own address

Control Panel Settings: The device must be set as “Silenced Horn” type in the control panel. This allows horn silencing while the detector continues to operate

Wiring: The device requires two types of power supply:

• SLC line for communication and detector power
• 24VDC line for horn power (from panel or external power supply)

Certifications

• IS 1220 Approved
