The NOTIFIER Addressable Class B BDAs are signal boosters for In-Building 2-way Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement with built-in NOTIFIER Fire Alarm Panel Addressable Monitor Module.

NOTIFIER Addressable Class B Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA) are high gain, high power band-selective signal boosters/bi-directional amplifiers that can integrate directly to a NOTIFIER fire alarm control panel with a built-in NOTIFIER addressable monitor module. Designed and customized to meet all public safety frequency band ranges, it is intended to provide reliable two-way radio signal coverage inside buildings, tunnels and other structures. The band selective design delivers a reliable performance in even the most challenging RF environments.

1 Multiple channels can be combined within the 3MHZ duplexer band-pass. Multiple bands can be combined in the same enclosure. Other channel bandwidths may be available, please inquire with your specific requirements.
2 Only use approved lead-acid batteries supplied by NOTIFIER along with the Signal Booster.
3 This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at -20 to 25º C / -4 to 77º F and at a relative humidity. However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-25º C/60-77º F.
