own calculations to ensure that the system is
capable of sounding under all foreseeable
conditions.

7.1.
Maintaining ingress
protection (IP) ratings
If using the product in a high humidity or
damp/wet environment, it is recommended that
ONLY a deep or U base is used. The deep or U
base has a higher IP rating than the shallow base
and can be used with appropriate cable glands
(not included) to achieve the states IP rating. The
shallow base is only intended for INDOOR use, in
low humidity environments
Use suitable cable glands (where appropriate) to
maintain the designed IP rating. The stated
product rating will ONLY be achieved if the
product is installed correctly. A selection of
suitable glands is available from all good
electrical wholesalers. Always follow the cable
gland instructions.
Where conduit systems are used to provide cable
protection, consideration should be given to
appropriate drainage points, to ensure that any
condensation or water droplets forming within the
conduit itself are able to safely drain away,
without adversely compromising any connected
devices.
Ensuring that all base and mounting screws are
secure
7.2.
Wiring
It is recommended that the thickest wire possible is
used, this ensures that the series resistance is
minimised and thus the length of the wiring that can
be used is maximized.
8. Coverage
8.1.
Coverage volume – wall
mounted devices
W
-
x
-
y
x
– The maximum height of the device on the
wall in meters, with a minimum value of 2.4m
y
–
The width in metres of the square volume
covered (to a minimum level of 0.4lux) when the
device is mounted to the wall at a height
x
If the area to be covered is not square, use
the larger of either length or width.
If the distance measured is greater than the
VADs rated coverage, then several devices
will be required to cover the area
