Do sounder bases still require their own circuit?

[Chris]

Hi,

Im wiring a fire alarm system and I was going to use the sounder bases as opposed to stand alone sounders.

Can the sounder bases be wired within the zone circuits or do they still need a sounder circuit wiring as well as the smoke heads?

it’s an ESP Mag fire system.

thanks

The C Tec system I wired just used 2 cores for smoke,heat or sounder bases,but some expert will be along soon to explain your system.

The ESP mag fire panel is conventional so it will require the sounders and field devices to be on separate circuits
