Description

The PAD300-6DB and PAD300-4DB are low-profile, surface-mount bases used with Potter’s addressable detectors. The base uses screw clamp terminals that accept wire ranging from 22 to 12 AWG. When installed on recessed electrical boxes, the PAD300-6DB is wide enough to completely cover the back box and the immediate surrounding area. The base is equipped with a locking tab to deter unauthorized removal of the attached detector.

Technical Specifications

Locking Feature

The PAD300-6DB and PAD300-4DB include a locking feature that prevents removal of the detector without using a tool.

1. To enable this feature, break off the locking tab (See Figure 1), and then install the detector.
2. To remove the detector from the base when the locking feature has been enabled, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the base to push the plastic tab while simultaneously turning the detector head counter-clockwise.
