Always de-energize unit before removing cover. 
The  installation  of  the  units  must  be  in 
accordance  with  any  local  codes  that  may  apply 
and  should  only  be  carried  out  by  a  competent 
trained electrical engineer. 
The  power  terminals  on  the  control  unit  are 
clearly  marked  and  will  accept  up  to  1.5mm

cable.

 

 
 

 

DC Terminals  
on main PCB. 

 

++ = Positive 

 

- -  = Negative 

 

 
 
 

 
AC Terminals 
On Sub PCB 
L = Live 
N = Neutral 
E = Earth 

 

The  AL121  units  will  have  the  beacon  already 
prewired to the unit so no extra wiring is required. 
 
 

4)  Beacon Set-up 

The beacon unit may need to be configured 
dependant on the type of flash required. 
 
The xenon beacon has a 1Hz flash rate only. 
 
The LED beacon is set as standard to the 2Hz 
flash mode but it can be set to a steady on mode 
also. To alter the settings, change the position of 
the header pin as shown. 

·

 

Remove header for steady mode. 

·

 

Keep header in standard position for 
2Hz flashing mode 

 

 

5)  Unit Set-up and Recording 

The unit will need to be configured to suit the end 
user. 
If recording either via the onboard microphone or 
the in-line connector the unit will need to be 
supplied with power.  
DC units can be powered when completing 
recording and set-up. 

Warning! : During set-up  on AC units care 
must be taken not to touch the live terminals. 
This is because  on the AC units there is a risk 
of electric shock. 
 

See section 7) Appello Setup Guide overleaf for 
Set-up instructions and functions. 

 
 

6)  Tone Selection Table 

The  Appello  unit  has  45  different  tones  (See 
Table  1)  that  can  be  selected  for  the  first  stage 
alarm.  The  systems  can  then  be  switched  to 
sound second, third and fourth stage alarm tones. 
The  tones  are  selected  by  operation  of  a  DIP 
switch S4 on the main PCB. 
 
The  tone  table  (Table  1)  shows  the  switch 
positions  for  the  45  tones  and  which  tones  are 
available for the second third and fourth stages. 
 
 

Example 
 
S4 Dip Switch -  
Shown Set for Tone 1  

(All switches OFF) 
 
 
 
To  sound  stage  one  simply  connect  the  supply 
voltage  (+ve  and  –ve)  for  DC  units  and  (L,  N,  E) 
for AC units, to the supply  input  terminals  on  the 
correct PCB shown.
