Wireless Base Station X-Sense SBS50 — battery backup for smart alarm systems, model SBS50

X-Sense SBS50 base station is a wireless hub for smart alarm and sensor systems, providing continuous monitoring and backup power to maintain operation during mains outages. Designed for home or small business use, the SBS50 connects wirelessly to compatible smoke, carbon monoxide and heat detectors and centralises alerts and status information through the X-Sense Home Security mobile app.

Advantages

The SBS50 supports up to 50 devices and offers a wide wireless transmission range, so it can cover larger properties while keeping multiple sensors linked in a single system. It includes a loud 100 dB local alarm and sends push notifications via the mobile app for remote awareness. The base station features a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power interruptions and is compatible with Android and iOS devices. The unit operates on the 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi band and uses IEEE 802.11b/g/n for network communication.

Suitable for

• Home security systems requiring smoke, CO and heat detection
• Small business premises seeking centralised alarm monitoring
• Properties where up to 50 wireless sensors are needed
• Installations that require battery backup for continued operation during power loss

Usage recommendations

Place the base station in a central location with good Wi‑Fi reception, avoid areas near sources of strong interference, and ensure sensors are within the specified transmission range. Regularly check sensor battery levels and test the system periodically to confirm proper operation; consult the user manual for detailed maintenance and safety instructions.
