Sounder Settings
Globally, the sounder volume and tone can be set from the configuration menu described on page 11,
this could potentially cause issues if ALL of the sounders on the system were set to high volume.
Generally the sounders should achieve 65 dba or 5 dba above any likely background noise. The other
requirement is to wake a sleeping person where the minimum sound is required to be 75 dba at the
bedhead.
In this instance individual sounder volumes can be programmed through the site installer program to
prevent the panel from becoming overloaded. This is achieved by a right click on the individual
sounder and choose ‘sounder settings’.

This sounder (address 2) can now bet set to any of the required settings available. If All of the
sounders on this loop were required to be the same volume then choosing the address from 2 to 116
on this loop would ensure that all sounders in the range chosen would follow the settings in the boxes.
This method can be done for all loops on the program.
