Application
The Potter PAD100-6DB and PAD100-4DB detector bases are used to install Potter’s addressable smoke and heat detectors. The PAD100-6DB will mount on a single gang, double gang, octagon or 4” square electrical box.
Description
The PAD100-6DB and PAD100-4DB are low-profile, surface mount bases used with Potter’s addressable detectors. The base uses screw-clamp terminals that accept wire ranging from 22 to 14 AWG. When installed on recessed electrical boxes the PAD100-6DB is wide enough to completely cover the back box and the immediate surrounding area. The base is equipped with a locking tab to deter unauthorized removal of the attached detector.

of the detector without using a tool.

and then install the detector.
2. To remove the detector from the base when the locking feature has been enabled, insert a small screw driver into the slot on the base to push the plastic tab while simultaneously turning the detector head counter-clockwise.
