The Open Area Voice Sounder has 6 slotted drillable holes in the backbox and can be
installed directly to the mounting surface.
Wiring Details
Note: This product is polarity sensitive (supply reversal protected) and will not function if
wired incorrectly.
Drill holes for cable entry as appropriate for the installation. Drill guides are marked on the
backbox. Connect the loop cables to the terminal block, observing polarity and func-
tional earth/screen if applicable. The wiring terminals accept solid or stranded cables up
to 2.5mm².
Commissioning
It is important that the device be fully tested after installation. Many fault conditions are
the result of simple wiring errors. Check all connections to the unit.
Setup and Test Mode
These modes allow volume adjustment and functional testing locally. In test mode no
volume adjustment is possible.
The required mode is entered via the control panel and is confirmed by a red setup LED
which flashes once a second. Sounder state is controlled by placing a magnet adjacent
to the flashing setup LED. When the confirmation LED flashes, withdraw the magnet. A suit-
able extendable magnetic wand is available, part no. 29650-001.
*The Visual Indicator function does not comply with the requirements of EN54-23
