14) Settings 

 

14.1 Tone 

Selection

 

 

The sounders have 32 different tones that can be selected for 
the first stage alarm. The sounders can then be switched to 
sound second and third stage alarm tones. The tones are 
selected by operation of a DIP switch on the pcb for both DC 
and AC units. The tone table on page seven shows the 
switch positions for the 32 tones and which tones are 
available for the second and third stages. To operate the 
sounder on stage one simply connect the supply voltage to 
the normal supply terminals (+ve and –ve for DC units,  L and 
N for AC units). 

 

14.2 Volume 

Control 

 

 

The output level of the BEx sounder can be set by adjusting 
the volume control potentiometer (see Fig 9). For maximum 
output, set the potentiometer fully clockwise.

15) Maintenance, Overhaul & Repair 

 

Maintenance, repair and overhaul of the equipment should 
only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel in 
accordance with the current relevant standards: 

 

EN60079-19 
IEC60079-19 

Explosive atmospheres - Equipment repair, 
overhaul and reclamation 

 

EN 60079-17 
IEC60079-17 

Explosive atmospheres - Electrical 
installations inspection and maintenance 

 

To avoid a possible ELECTROSTACTIC CHARGE the unit 
must only be cleaned with a damp cloth. 

 

Units must not be opened while an explosive atmosphere is 
present. 

 

If opening the unit during maintenance operations a clean 
environment must be maintained and any dust layer removed 
prior to opening the unit. 

 

Flameproof threaded joints and cemented joints are not 
intended to be repaired.
