Aritech DB2004 Deep Detector Base

1. Product Name: Aritech DB2004 Deep Detector Base

2. Description:

What Is the Aritech DB2004 Deep Detector Base?

The Aritech DB2004 is a deep mounting base developed for 2000 series addressable point detectors. Its taller body than the standard base provides space for additional electronics behind it. A single base fits all 2000 series detectors, enabling a flexible and straightforward installation on site.

Operating Principle

DB2004 is a passive connection base that transfers the loop wiring, earth and remote indicator connections to the detector. The loop cable is connected to the base terminals; electrical connection is established when the detector head is fitted and turned into place. The deep body allows surplus cable and, where required, additional electronic components to be neatly accommodated behind the base. Remote signalling means the detector’s alarm status can also be monitored via a connected remote indicator.

Role in Fire Detection Systems

In an addressable system, the base is the point where the detector is mounted on the ceiling and connected to the loop. DB2004 is compatible with all point detectors in the 2000 series, allowing different detection technologies to be used on the same wiring infrastructure. It is particularly useful where detectors in enclosed or hard-to-reach areas need to be monitored from a corridor via a remote indicator.

Why Choose It?

• One base for all detectors: Compatible with all point detectors in the 2000 series.
• Deep body: Provides space for fitting electronics behind the base and for easy cable management.
• Remote signalling: Allows the alarm status to be monitored remotely via a remote indicator.
• Approved product: Approved to EN54 and VdS standards; complies with CE, REACH, RoHS 2 and WEEE requirements.
• Locking mechanism: The moulded locking feature makes unauthorised removal of the detector head more difficult.

Installation and Commissioning

The base is secured to the ceiling using the loop cable routed through the single cable entry. The loop in and out conductors, earth and, where required, remote indicator connections are wired to the terminals; the detector head is then fitted and turned into place. If locking is required, remove the tab on the base before fitting the detector. The product is intended for indoor use; the detector address is set using the rotary switches on the detector, not on the base.

Compatible Products

Used with 2000 series detectors such as the DB2004; DP2061N optical smoke detector, DP2061T multisensor detector and DT2063N heat detector. Manufacturer data also lists the AI672 and AI673 remote indicators and the AS2368CAP-W locking cover as compatible products. For a shallower installation, the DB2002 standard base may be considered; for loop protection, the DB2016 isolator base is an alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which detectors can be used with DB2004? It is compatible with all point detectors in the Aritech 2000 series; optical, multisensor and heat detectors can all be fitted to the same base.

Can a remote indicator be connected? Yes. The base provides a connection for a remote indicator output; compatible models include AI672 and AI673.

Can DB2004 be used outdoors? No. The product is designed for indoor use and is not vandal-resistant.
