SWIFT AV Base

The System Sensor SWIFT® Wireless system offers an AV

base to support L-Series devices in wireless installations.

Features The SWIFT AV bases (WAV-CRL, WAV-CWL, WAV-RL and WAV-WL)

are intended for use with compatible System Sensor L-Series AV
• Wireless installation notification appliances to meet a comprehensive range of notification
• Class A mesh network requirements. The AV Base provides power for the audio and visual
signals and supports wireless communication with the Fire Alarm
• Addressable code wheels
Control Panel (FACP). The L-Series AV notification appliance is
• Commercial applications mounted directly to the wireless AV base allowing flexibility in color,
• Listed to UL 464, UL 1638, UL 1971, ULC S525, and ULC S526 placement and signal output.

• Frequency hopping
Power is supplied through two sets of 4 batteries – one set provides
• Bi-Directional Communications power for wireless communication, and the other set provides power
for the notification appliance’s audio and/or visual signal. Battery life
of the wireless portion is UL listed for at least 2 years. Battery life for
the AV set of batteries depends upon the activation time and output
level of the audio or visual signal. The AV base boosts output voltage
to support 24VDC options on connected devices.

The SWIFT synchronization module (W-SYNC) can be used to

provide audio and visual synchronization between SWIFT notification
appliances and System Sensor wired notification appliances. The
wireless synchronization module operates from 24V power with
supplemental battery support and communicates through the
mesh network to the gateway and FACP. Synchronization is only
available with notification appliances that use the System Sensor
synchronization protocol. Synchronization of the SWIFT notification
appliances within a single mesh network is inherent in the wireless
system and a wireless synchronization module is not needed.
The W-SYNC also provides wireless control and monitoring of a
Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) expander or power supply.
