Nittan Announces The Availability Of The New EV-PYSVAD Visual Alarm Base For Use With EV-PYS Detector

In line with an ongoing commitment towards continuous improvement of the company’s state-of-the-art product lines, Nittan is delighted to announce the availability of the new EV-PYSVAD Visual Alarm Base for use with EV-PYS detector.

EV-PYSVAD Visual Alarm Base

The new EV-PYSVAD is a Type A Indoor Beacon Base VAD, which is specially designed for use with detector type - EV-PYS only, as part of an Evolution analog addressable system. The Beacon Base VAD does not require an individual loop address, as it is a slave device taking its commands from the EV-PYS detector.

12 High Power White LEDs provide the necessary coverage volume of light

12 High Power White LEDs provide the necessary coverage volume of light, in order to meet the EN 54-23 Category C (Ceiling) certification requirements, with a rating of C 3.0 x 5.0. This improved EV-PYSVAD product is intended to be an enhanced performance replacement for the outgoing EV-PSBCN Visual Indication Device.

Backward compatible drop-in replacement

It is important to note that the older EV-PSBCN Virtual Indicator Base is to be made obsolete with immediate effect. However, in order to aid the transition from the old to new products, in addition to the enhanced VAD rating, the new EV-PYSVAD Visual Alarm Base has been designed to be a backward compatible drop-in replacement for the outgoing EV-PSBCN.

As such it is suitable for both new system sales and as a direct replacement for spares and retro-fit applications of any older EV-PSBCN Visual Indicator Base, without panel upgrades or type code changes.

New variant uses White LEDs

It should, however, be noted that the old device was a Red LED Beacon, whereas the new variant uses White LEDs, so as to achieve the required light output to be a ‘Ceiling Rated VAD’.
