sectional areas such as 2.5mm² and above. If the sounder is
wired to the same power supply as the beacon always use
the flexible interconnecting wires provided.
BEACON SECTION CONNECTIONS
The cable connections are made into the terminal blocks on
the electronic pcb assembly located in the beacon section
enclosure. A four-way terminal block is provided on both AC
and DC beacons. Therefore there are two live terminals and
two neutral terminals for the input and output wiring on AC
units. On the DC units there are two +ve terminals and two -
ve terminals for the input and output wiring.
Wires having a cross sectional area of up to 4mm² can be
connected to each terminal way. When connecting wires to
the terminals great care should be taken to dress the wires so
that wires do not exert excess pressure on the terminal
blocks. This is particularly important when using cables with
large cross sectional areas such as 2.5mm² and above.

Tone Selection and 2nd and 3rd Stage Alarms
The BExDCS110-05D sounder section has 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 sounder pcb for both DC and AC units. The tone table on
page five 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).
The operation of the second and third stages is different for
DC and AC units.
DC Units Second and Third Stage Tone Selection
The BExDCS110-05D DC sounder section has the facility to
use either +ve or –ve switching to change the tone to the
second and third stages. 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. To change to the second
stage tone, connect either a -ve or +ve supply line to terminal
S2, depending on which switching mode is being used while
maintaining the dc supply to the +ve and –ve terminals.
Similarly for the third stage tone, connect a -ve or +ve supply
line to terminal S3. The supply to the S3 terminal will
automatically override a supply to the S2 terminal.
AC Units Second and Third Stage Tone Selection
To select the second and third stage tones on the
BExDCS110-05D AC sounder section, the Common (C)
terminal on the three way terminal block on the pcb is
connected to the S2 terminal for the second stage tone and
the S3 terminal for the third stage tone.

Volume Control
The BExDCS110-05D sounder section, with the exception of
12V DC units, has a volume control to adjust the output level.
