Odyssey XBE

Odyssey X-BE is a Grade 2 wired external sounder with backlight support.

It is designed for installations where the site needs active external signalling and a more visible branded finish, but does not require the Grade 3 Odyssey X-B specification.

With a 109dB piezo sounder, wall and cover tamper, engineer hold-off mode and alternating white LED indication, Odyssey X-BE gives installers the Grade 2 wired backlit option in the Odyssey X range.

Odyssey XBE

Grade 2 sounder with backlit presentation

Odyssey X-BE is for sites where the external sounder needs to be active and visible.

The backlit format supports a stronger brand presence on the building while keeping the sounder’s main purpose clear: external alarm signalling.

Built for wired installs

When the cable route is available, a wired sounder keeps the installation direct.

Odyssey X-BE gives installers that wired approach with Grade 2 Class IV certification and the service benefits of engineer hold-off mode.

Use it where branding matters

The backlit option is useful on commercial frontages, installer-branded systems and customer-facing external elevations.

If branding is not part of the job, Odyssey X-E may be the simpler Grade 2 wired option.

When Odyssey X-BE makes sense

Use Odyssey X-BE when the site needs a wired Grade 2 external sounder with backlight support.

If Grade 3 is required, choose Odyssey X-B. If backlighting is not required, choose Odyssey X-E.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose Odyssey X-BE?

Choose Odyssey X-BE when the project needs a wired Grade 2 external sounder with backlight support for branding or visual presentation.

How is X-BE different from X-E?

X-BE supports backlit presentation. X-E is the simpler wired Grade 2 sounder without backlight support.

How is X-BE different from X-B?

X-BE is Grade 2 with 109dB output. X-B is Grade 3 with 115dB twin piezo output and additional monitoring features.

Does the backlight replace the need for comfort LEDs?

No. Backlight supports visual presentation and branding. The sounder still needs to be specified for the site’s signalling and grade requirements.

What should installers confirm before ordering?

Confirm whether the site needs Grade 2 or Grade 3, whether backlighting is required and which Odyssey X cover and branding insert will be used.
