Introduction
The CHQ-CB is fully backwards compatible with the CHQ-AB, although its default setting is to flash once every other
second (0.5Hz). The following settings are controllable through the CIE*1
1. Flash rate 0.5Hz, 1Hz
2. Light output level (3 settings)
3. Loop Power or External Power
NOTE: For further details of
coverage volume and voltage,
current and power
consumption please see
application note AP131.

Caution
The addressable beacon and base combination should be installed to the following guidelines:
Ensure the Addressable Ceiling Beacon and Base are installed in accordance with Local Standards or
Regulations.
Addressable Ceiling Beacon and Base combinations should only be installed where ambient temperatures are
between -10C to +50C and where the condensation and moisture levels are between 10% to 95% RH - Non
condensing (at 40C).
Only install in suitable environments, the following should be avoided:
Situations in which condensation exists (unless WS2-WPK is utilised).
Situations in which corrosive gases exist.
Situations in which obstacles exist, which could impede visual indication of the Addressable Beacon.
Hazardous areas.
Only use the specified Hochiki mounting bases (or WS2-WPK Weather Proofing Kit) with this ceiling beacon.
Do not use a high voltage tester on the Addressable Beacon, the YBO-R/SCI Isolator Base, the YBN-R/3(SCI)
Isolator Base and the YBO-BS Base Sounder.
Certain actions can cause permanent damage to the Addressable Beacon. If the Beacon is subjected to any of the
following it should not be used:
Dis-assembly and re-assembly.
Impact or shock.
If damage is suspected after a fire has occurred, the Addressable Beacon should be replaced. After installation, all
Addressable Ceiling Beacons on the fire alarm system should be tested to confirm correct operation. Installation and
maintenance should only be carried out by suitably trained engineers.
The Addressable Ceiling Beacon must be subject to periodic maintenance during regular service visits. This period should
be outlined in the appropriate standards or recommendations. If there are no such standards existing, Hochiki
recommend that the minimum period of maintenance should be 1 year and that the following should be taken into
account:
A regular operation test should be performed.
A visual check for contamination and mechanical damage should be made.
*1Panel compatibility required.

Setting the Address
The CHQ-CB must have its address set before system operation. Using an installation plan that shows the proper
location for each device, find the address for the CHQ-CB to be installed. Check that the address and location on the
plan match correctly. Address is any number from 1 to 127. For address setting, use the Hochiki TCH-B100 Hand Held
Programmer and write the address number on the beacon after setting. When address changing, renew the number on
the label. See the TCH-B100 instructions (2-3-0-237) for further details of the setting method.
Wiring and Locking Mechanism
The bases used with the beacon should be wired as
shown in Fig 2 below. The CHQ-CB can also be
locked onto the relevant base by removing a plastic
lug on the underside of the beacon, please refer to
Fig 1. The beacon can only then be removed by
using a special Removal Tool (TSC-SRT) which is
available from Hochiki Europe (UK) Ltd.
