3.11.1 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be achieved by using the DSE Configuration
Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for “Audible Alarm”, and by configuring an auxiliary
input for “Alarm Mute” (if required).
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal sounder.
The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate ‘in parallel’ with each other. Either signal
will mute both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.
Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:
