Odyssey XBD

Odyssey X-BD is an imitation Odyssey X sounder with backlight and comfort LED support.

It is designed for sites where visible deterrence and a consistent external finish are required, but active sounder electronics are not needed at that position. It mimics Odyssey X wired and wireless sounders, accepts X1 and X3 covers and supports a 12V wired input for backlight and comfort LEDs.

Use it when the site needs external presence without specifying another active sounder.

  • Product Type: Imitation sounder
  • Use Case: Low cost deterrent
  • Backlight Input: 12V wired input for backlight and comfort LEDs
  • Battery: 2 AA batteries for comfort LEDs only

Odyssey XBD

Visible deterrence without active sounder electronics

Not every external box needs to be active.

Odyssey X-BD gives the site a consistent Odyssey X appearance while keeping the position as a deterrent unit. It is useful on larger properties, multi-elevation sites and installs where the visual presence needs to continue around the building.

Backlight and comfort LED support

The 12V wired input supports backlight and comfort LEDs.

That makes X-BD useful where the dummy unit still needs to look live and consistent with active Odyssey X sounders on the same site.

Consistent cover system

Odyssey X-BD accepts X1 and X3 covers.

That means active and imitation positions can share the same cover style, lens choice and branding approach. The outside of the system stays consistent.

When Odyssey X-BD makes sense

Use Odyssey X-BD when the site needs an imitation sounder with backlight or comfort LED support.

If no electronics are needed at all, Odyssey X-D is the simpler dummy option.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I specify Odyssey X-BD?

Specify X-BD when the site needs a dummy Odyssey X sounder with backlight or comfort LED support. It is useful where the building needs visible deterrence on more than one elevation.

How is X-BD different from X-D?

X-BD supports a 12V wired input for backlight and comfort LEDs. X-D has no electronics and is the simpler imitation sounder.

Does X-BD produce sound?

No. It is an imitation sounder. Use an active Odyssey X sounder where audible alarm signalling is required.

Can it use the same covers as active Odyssey X units?

Yes. It accepts X1 and X3 covers, helping the site keep a consistent external finish.

What should installers check before fitting?

Check whether the dummy position needs backlight or comfort LEDs. If it does, specify X-BD. If not, X-D may be enough.
