Sounder Bases
A sensor can be connected to a sounder base, providing the ability to provide an audible
alarm at each sensor. The point address of each sensor fitted with a sounder base must be
specified, and whether the sounder is powered from the Z-loop, or externally powered. This
is dependent upon the number of base sounders, the required sound output (in decibels),
and the size and length of loop cabling. Refer to the base sounder application literature for
more information.
Loop Sounders
Sounders can be connected directly to the Z-loop, and assigned their own point address.
The point address of each loop device, which is a sounder, must be specified, in order for it
to behave correctly. In addition, it must be specified whether the sounder is powered from
the Z-loop, or externally powered. This is dependent upon the number of base sounders, the
required sound output (in decibels), and the size and length of loop cabling. Refer to the
loop sounder application literature for more information.
Panel Sounders
Panel sounders are attached to the panel in two ways:
i Standard built-in sounder outputs, a quantity of 4. (2 addresses)
ii Optional sounder outputs, quantity dependent upon the number of boards installed.
Sounders can be connected directly to panel outputs, or to remote panel outputs. All
sounders can be programmed to operate on a "common alarm", or to be individually
configurable by means of I/O-mapping. All sounder outputs have their own panel point
address. The point address of each panel output which is connected to a sounder must be
specified as a "sounder output", in order for it to behave correctly. Panel sounders are
usually powered from the panel power-supply, but can be separately powered - see the
"Power Supply" section for more details. This is dependent upon the number of sounders,
the required sound output (in decibels), and whether the sounders are connected to the
panel, or to a remotely located RCU-panel.
Z-loop Isolators
Number of loops, and number of loop-isolators on each loop, must be specified. In addition
the location of each isolator must be shown either on the schematics, or on the layout
drawings. Up to 16 loop isolators (limited to 11 to comply with EN54 specification) can be
installed on a loop. The panel includes 2 built-in isolators, giving a total of 12 isolated
sections of cable.
Common Relays
The normal state for common fire and fault relays must be defined. The defaults are; fire
relay (normally de-energised) and fault relay (normally energised).
