10.8 Warning Signs
Description
The warning signs are driven by a 2 wire system and may be configured for single or dual stage operation.
An on-board buzzer provides an audible warning which may be disabled by removing JP3.
External evacuation devices, eg sounders may be connected to TB3 of the input termination board. An
external mute push-button (N/O contacts) may also be connected to Term 3 on the warning sign PCB to
enable the user to silence the internal buzzer and evacuation device. Inserting JP4 disables this function.
Enclosures
The IP50 is a metal enclosure. The facia surround is fitted by removing the screw on the left hand side of
the enclosure and pulling it away to the left. The facia sign is fitted in place and the tabs bent over to hold it
in place. Two holes in the backpan of the chassis allow for mounting.
The IP65 ABS enclosure has 10 screws, tightened evenly but not over tightened, hold the facia in place.
Do not over tighten. 4 holes in the backpan allow for mounting.
