The directional sounder will not work without power.

 The directional sounder 

gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If power 

is cut off for any reason, the directional sounder will not provide the desired audio 

warning.

The directional sounder may not be heard.

 The directional sounder may not be 

heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far 

away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery 

or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hearing the sounder. The 

Sounder may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired.

The sounder has a set of input terminals to provide addi-

tional control of the sound output of the directional sounder. 

These terminals can be connected to the dry relay contacts 

of control devices such as heat sensors or control mod-

ules. When the input is active it will disable the sound out-

put of the Sounder. Connect the disable function as shown
