General Description
The Sita Soundpoint unit allows for audible indication when the system enters an alarm
condition. This is an addressable unit that attaches to the loop. Digital communication
technology to the control panel is implemented allowing for accurate data transfer at high
transmission speeds. This device is only compatible with the Sita200plus, Duonet and
Quadnet ranges of control panels.
Before Installation
The sounder must be installed in compliance with the control panel installation
manual. The installation must also meet the requirements of any local authority. For
maximum performance the sounder should be installed in compliance to BS5839
Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Spacing
Fike recommends spacing of sounders in accordance with BS5839 Pt1. For more
specific information regarding sounder spacing, placement and special applications
please refer to BS5839 Pt1 : 2002 + A2 : 2008.
Device Installation
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the recommendations laid out by BS 5839 as well as any special
recommendations documented in the control panel installation manual.
The cabling used should be of a 2-core
1.5mm
2
screened, fire resistant type, with the following characteristics:
Max Capacitance Core to Screen................................................... 180pF / m
Max Capacitance Core to Core ...................................................... 100pF / m
Max Inductance .............................................................................. 1.0mH / km
Max Resistance Two Core Screened 1.5mm²................................ 12.1
Ω
/ km
It is to be wired in the form of a screened 2-core loop returning to the control panel. The use of spurs on
this system is not permitted.
Fix the surface back box to a flat vertical surface using at least two of the four mounting holes provided. The back
box may be drilled to allow cable access as required. A 20mm hole is already provided at the rear. Cables may be
terminated into the connectors, as shown below.
The Soundpoint may be flush mounted utilising the optional adaptor plate, combined with any standard single gang
flush mounting back box (with a minimum internal depth of 47mm). After installing the back box securely, attach the
adaptor plate using the two screws provided and terminate the loop cables directly into a flying terminal block (not
supplied).
Care should be taken when terminating devices to ensure all cables are correctly sleeved and connections are
secure. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire.
