Model DB-ADPT

Detector/Base Adapter

The SIEMENS Model DB-ADPT detector/base adapter

interfaces Series 11 detectors with previously installed

DB-3S bases. For Series 3 air duct detector models

AD-3P, AD-3ILP, and SA-3P, use Series 11 Air Duct

Update Kit AD-11UK, which contains both the DB-ADPT and

the required DA-304 air duct cover for Series 11 detectors.

When replacing a detector with a different model, be

aware that existing detector accessories connected

to the base or air duct housing that were compatible

with the old detector may not be compatible with the

new detector. Always read the Installation Instruc-

tions accompanying the detector to determine detec-

tor and accessory compatibility.
