Intrinsically Safe Round Sounder
1) Introduction
The IS-mA1 minialarm is an ATEX and IECEx certified
intrinsically safe sounder which produces a loud warning
signal in a hazardous area. Forty-nine first stage alarm
sounds can be selected by internal switches and each one
can be externally changed to a second or third stage alarm
sound. The sounder may be used in all gas groups IIA IIB
and IIC.
2) Description
Fig 1 shows a simplified block diagram of an IS-mA1
minialarm sounder. The device operates immediately power
is applied to the + and – terminals which are duplicated to
allow a second sounder to be connected in parallel, or for an
end of line monitoring resistor to be installed. The output tone
is defined by the positions of the six internal switches and this
tone can be changed to a second or third stage alarm tone by
connecting terminals S2 or S3 to 0V. The tone generator is
crystal controlled to ensure that when two sounders
connected to the same power supply are started at the same
time the output tones remain synchronised.
3)
Supply Voltage
The IS-mA1 minialarm sounder has been designed to
operate in a hazardous area from a 24V dc supply via 28V
93mA resistive ATEX and IECEx certified Zener Barriers or
Galvanic Isolators. The sounders may be tested or used in
safe areas without a Zener Barrier or Galvanic Isolator, but at
supply voltages above 16V the internal current limit will
function and therefore it is recommended that they are not
operated continuously with a direct supply greater than 16V.

Intrinsic Safety Certification
4.1 ATEX certificate
The IS-mA1 minialarm sounder complies with the following
standards:-
EN60079-0:2006
EN60079-11:2007
EN60079-26:2007
IEC60079-0:2007
(used for guidance in respect of marking)
The EC-Type Examination Certificate SIRA 05ATEX2084X
has been issued by the Notified Body Sira. This confirms
compliance with the European ATEX Directive 94/9/EC for
Group II, Category 1G equipment. The sounder carries the
Community Mark and subject to local codes of practice, may
be installed in any of the EEA member countries. This
instruction sheet describes installations which conform to
EN60079:Part14:2008 Electrical Installation in Hazardous
Areas. When designing systems for installation outside the
UK, the local Code of Practice should be consulted.
