The HOCHIKI America YBN-NSA-4 and the HSB-NSA6 mounting bases are electronics free and contain a simple rugged design with screw terminals for wiring connections. A common mounting base allows sensor interchange and maintains loop continuity when sensors are removed. A simple anti-tamper head locking system is provided which is enabled by removing a small plastic tab on the back of the sensor. Once locked, the head can only be removed using a small diameter screw driver.
