TESTING THE SOUNDER
Prior to testing the sounder ensure that:
The battery pack has been charged for a minimum of 2 hours.
•
Battery Enable switch should be ON.
•
Dip switch 7 should be OFF.
•
All personnel attending the test have ear protection.
•
Test the unit by opening the alarm connections (EN+ & EN-). If the sounder test is successful then place Dip switch 8
to OFF and reassemble. If the sounder does not test OK leave on charge for a further 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT NOTE - BATTERY CARE
If the S3B Sound Barrier is to be stored without external power for more than a week then the Battery Enable switch
must be switched OFF. Failure to do this will drain the battery completely and the battery will no longer retain a viable
charge.
HEALTH & SAFETY ISSUES
The S3B Sound Barrier is rated at 125 dB at 1 metre. This decreases at a rate of 6 dB per metre. We strongly
recommend that all engineers fitting this device wear some form of approved ear protection and limit exposure
to the full sound of the device. Exposure without ear protection will create a feeling of nausea and disorientation.
This will disappear when the sounder is switched off or when the exposed person leaves the protected area. No
permanent hearing damage will be caused.
