13.2.2   DC Units Second & Third Stage Tone 
Selection 

 

For units set up for –ve switching (default setting): 

 

Stage two (S2) Operation

 

 

Power +ve and –ve, link a -
ve supply line to the S2 
terminal.  
Dip switch alters stage 2 
tone. 

 

Stage three (S3) Operation 

 

Power +ve and –ve, link a -
ve supply line to the S3 
terminal.  
Dip switch alters stage 3 
tone. 

 

For units set up for +ve switching (refer to 13.3): 

 

Stage two (S2) Operation

 

 

Power +ve and –ve, link a 
+ve supply line to the S2 
terminal.  
Dip switch alters stage 2 
tone. 

Stage three (S3) Operation 

 

Power +ve and –ve, link a 
+ve supply line to the S3 
terminal.  
Dip switch alters stage 3 
tone.

13.3  Stage Switching Polarity (DC Units 

Only) 

 

The BExS110D DC sounders have the facility to use either 
+ve or –ve switching to change the tone to the second and 
third stages. Negative switching is the default setting. For –ve 
switching connect the two headers on the pcb to the left-hand 
(marked –ve) and centre pins. For +ve switching connect the 
headers to the right hand (ve) and the centre pins. 
(Refer to Fig. 7)

Monitoring 

 

On BExS110D DC units, dc reverse line monitoring can be 
used if required. All DC sounders have a blocking diode fitted 
in their supply input lines. An end of line monitoring diode or 
an end of line monitoring resistor can be connected across 
the +ve and –ve terminals. If an end of line resistor is used it 
must have a minimum resistance value of 3k3

 and a 

minimum power rating of 0.5 watts or a minimum resistance 
value of 500

 and a minimum power rating of 2 watts. 

 
The resistor must be connected directly across the +ve and -
ve terminals as shown in the following drawing. The resistor 
leads should be kept as short as possible.
