Product Description
The FCC-1112 is the wall-fixing backplate for Texecom's Premier Odyssey 3E external sounder — it's the base plate that goes on the wall before the sounder cover is fitted, not the sounder itself.
What it's for
An alarm bell box has two parts: the backplate (fixed to the wall, holds the cabling and tamper switches) and the sounder cover (the visible unit with the horn and strobe). This product is the backplate half, made to suit the Premier Odyssey 3E series specifically — check you're ordering the matching sounder if you don't already have one.
Why the backplate matters
Because the Odyssey 3E sounder relies on its backplate for a secure fix, the two are designed as a matched pair rather than sold as general-purpose parts. A correctly fitted backplate is also what allows the sounder's lid and wall tamper detection to work properly, since the tamper switches sit between the plate and the wall.
What the completed sounder offers
Once the Odyssey 3E is mounted on this plate, the unit is rated for:
- 109dB output volume
- IP44 environmental protection, for external mounting
- Polycarbonate construction
- Lid and wall tamper detection
- PD6662:2010 Grade 2 Class IV compliance — worth checking against insurer or NSI/SSAIB requirements before you specify
- Selectable SAB/SCB mode and twin alternating LEDs
If you're replacing a damaged backplate rather than fitting a new system, confirm the Odyssey 3E model on the existing sounder before ordering, since backplates are matched to their specific alarm series.
