Safety Messages to Installers and Users
It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This
sounder is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar
with and will follow all applicable national and local codes in the country of
use.
This sounder should be considered a part of the warning system and not the
entire warning system.
The selection of the mounting location for the sounder, its controls and
the routing of the wiring are to be accomplished under the direction of the
facilities engineer and the safety engineer. In addition, listed below are some
other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Read and understand all instructions before installing or operating this
equipment.
• To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect wires when power is
applied. Failure to observe this warning may lead to serious injury or
death.
• Never alter the unit in any manner. Safety in hazardous locations may be
endangered if additional openings or other alterations are made in units
specifically designed for use in these locations.
• Do not connect this sounder to the system when power is on.
• All effective warning sounders produce loud sounds, which may
cause, in certain situations, permanent hearing loss. Take appropriate
precautions such as hearing protection. The device should be installed
far enough away from potential listeners to limit their exposure while
still maintaining its effectiveness.
• After installation, ensure that all threaded joints are properly tightened.
• After installation, test the sounder system to ensure that it is operating
properly
• Keep the unit tightly closed when in operation.
• After testing is complete, provide a copy of this instruction sheet to all
personnel.
• Brass inserts have the potential to store charge when they are not
plugged. Consideration should be taken to prevent these from becoming
a sparking hazard.
