Installation Manual
Installation
IMPORTANT
a. The unit should be fitted with a fused spur incorporating an all pole
disconnection device providing 3mm contact separation in all poles.
Ensure fuse, cable size and gland type are rated sufficiently for the
total load on the sounder circuit.
b. Isolate the unit from the electricity supply before removing the cover.
Only suitably qualified personnel should gain access to the unit to
perform adjustments to the tone or volume. WARNING: no user
serviceable parts contained within the unit.
c. The sounder is installed by first mounting the base unit and making the
external wring connections to the base. The head unit then automatically
connects when it is attached to the base.
d. The sounder head is separated from the base by unlocking the four
¼-turn fasteners in the corners of the sounder. (Recommended
screwdriver: Philips No. 2, min 100mm long).
e. Note that the head only fits onto the base one way around. If a beacon
is fitted, care should be taken when mounting the base to ensure that
the beacon will be positioned in the desired orientation after the
sounder is attached.
Wiring
a. Power: Note that the sounder and beacon have separate power
terminals, marked as follows:
b. Remote Tone Switching (If required): Externally link control terminals
as shown below.

b. Volume Control
The sound output of the unit can be reduced by up to 20dBA by
adjusting the potentiometer.
