The Sontels should be securely bolted to a suitable surface
using the 7mm diameter boltholes in the stainless steel U
shaped mounting bracket (see figure 1). The angle can then be
adjusted in the direction that the sound is primarily required to
cover. This can be achieved by loosening the two large bracket
screws in the side of the unit, which allow adjustment in steps
of 18
°
. On completion of the installation the two large bracket
adjustment screws on the side of the unit must be fully
tightened to ensure that the unit cannot move in service.

Safety Warning (Electrostatic Hazard)
The acoustic horn section is made of ABS Plastic, therefore to
avoid a possible ELECTROSTACTIC CHARGE the unit must
only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
8)
Access to the Flameproof Enclosure
In order to connect the electrical supply cable and the
telephone line cable to the Sontel it is necessary to remove the
flameproof cover to gain access to the flameproof chamber. To
achieve this remove the four M6 hexagon socket head screws
(see figure 2) and withdraw the flameproof cover taking
extreme care not to damage the flameproof joints in the
process.
Note the four
M6 screws are Class A4-80 stainless steel
and only screws of this category can be used on these
Sontels.
It is therefore important that these screws and their
spring washers are kept in a safe place during installation.
On completion of the cable wiring installation the flameproof
joints should be inspected to ensure that they are clean and
that they have not been damaged during installation. Also
check that the earth bonding wire between the two casting
sections is secure and the ‘O’ ring seal is in place. W hen
replacing the flameproof cover casting ensure that it is square
with the flameproof chamber casting before inserting. Carefully
push the cover in place allowing time for the air to be expelled.
Only after the cover is fully in place should the four M6
Stainless Steel A4-80 cover bolts and their spring washer be
inserted and tightened down. If the cover jams while it is being
inserted, carefully remove it and try again. Never use the cover
bolts to force the cover into position.
9)
Power Supply Selection
It is important that a suitable power supply is used to run the
Sontels.
The following table shows the input current taken by the
various units:-
Unit Type
Input
Input
Max.
Voltage
Current
I/P Volts
BExTS110D
230V AC
56mA
264V
BExTS110D
110V AC
93mA
121V
BExTS110D
115V AC
110mA
126V
The input current will vary according to the voltage input level
and the frequency of the tone selected. The current levels
shown above are for the 440Hz Continuous tone @ nominal
input voltage. The units have a switching voltage regulator
circuit and therefore the input current level will decrease
slightly as the input voltage in increased and will increase
slightly as the input voltage is reduced.
The above table also shows the maximum voltages at which
the sounders can be operated.
10)
Cable Selection
W hen selecting the cable size consideration must be given to
the input current that each unit draws (see table above), and
the length of the cable runs.
SAFETY WARNING: If the high output BExTS110D units are
used at high ambient temperatures, i.e. over +40ºC, then the
cable entry temperature may exceed +70ºC and therefore
suitable heat resisting cables must be used, with a rated
service temperature of at least 95ºC.
11)
Earthing
The Sontel units must be connected to a good quality earth.
The units are provided with internal and external earthing
terminals which are both located on the terminal chamber
section of the unit (see figures 2 and 3).
