YOU’VE BLINDED THEM WITH SMOKE, NOW DEAFEN THEM WITH NOISE
SMOKE SCREEN SOUND BARRIER (S3B)
Originally developed for military applications Produces unbearable noise to confront intruders Completely harmless
AN EAR-PIERCING ALARM SYSTEM
The Smoke Screen Sound Barrier range provides an incredible
complement to the Security Smoke Generators. Upon activation an
intolerable wall of sound is created forcing any intruder to leave the
area.
As with our entire range of security systems, the effect produced is
perfectly safe. Additionally, the design of the S3B allows it to be
unobtrusively installed in even the most contemporary of environments.

THE TECH SPEC

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Before commencing installation of the S3B Sound Barrier please ensure that you have all of the equipment required.
1 x S3B Sound Barrier.•
1 x Literature Pack.•
You will also require:
12-volt DC supply and Connections into the alarm panel.•
OVERVIEW
The S3B Sound Barrier is designed to form part of an existing intruder alarm system. It may also be congured as a
‘stand-alone’ system. The schematic shows the internal layout of the S3B Sound Barrier. The PCB and Battery pack
occupy one end of the device while the eight special speaks occupy the remainder.
TO REMOVE THE COVER
Remove two screws from the PCB end and release the end cap. Pull out the mesh screen to expose the speakers and
PCB.
MOUNTING POINTS
Pre-drilled holes on the back of the S3B Sound Barrier allow it to be mounted at
against a wall or in a 90° corner.
CONNECTIONS
The sounder needs a 12-volt DC supply to charge the internal batteries. Fully
charged the sounder will work for up to 168 hrs off mains. If the sounder is to be
off mains for longer the Battery Enable Switch must be switched ‘Off’.
IMPORTANT:
1. Ear protection should be
worn during installation
and testing.
2. Sounder should always
be mounted high on
walls or on the ceiling -
recommended minimum
height is 2 metres.

BATTERY CHARGING
The S3B Sound Barrier is shipped with the battery pack disconnected. A Battery Enable switch has been tted.
During shipping this is in the ‘Off’ position. An intelligent charging circuit is tted. This limits the maximum current
draw to 1 Amp at 12-volts DC. Fastest charging time (At 1 Amp) is 50 minutes. Lower charging currents will require
longer.
Once the device is connected to an external 12-volt DC supply it will activate when triggered with the ‘Battery
Enable’ switch in both the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ positions.
CONNECTIONS
The S3B Sound Barrier connections are shown on the schematic above. External power is supplied via the 12-volt
and 0-volt connections. Activation trigger is provided by connecting EN+ and EN- through a Normally Closed (N/C)
relay opening in alarm. Status monitoring is via the volt-free relay outputs (NO / NC / C).
Contacts closed = Tamper closed, battery switch ON & battery OK.
Contacts open = Tamper closed and/or Dip 7 is ON (Sounder disabled) and/or battery fault.
BATTERY PACK
The S3B Sound Barrier battery pack is retained using a Velcro fastening and is easily removed. The pack is
connected to the PCB using a small push-on connector. This should be checked when installing.
Battery Data:
Charging Voltage: 12 – 13.5-volts DC
Maximum Charging Current: 12-volt 1 Amp
Maximum Charging Time: 50 mins @ 1 Amp

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Dip switch setting control the following functions:
Duration of Sound: Dip 1, 2, 3, 4 30 / 60 / 120 / 240 / 480 seconds
Delay after Activation: Dip 5, 6 1 / 3 / 6 seconds
Disable Sounder: Dip 7 On = Disable Off = Operational
Test / Normal Mode: Dip 8 On = Test Off = Operational
Note: Test mode enables the sounder to be tested without full tones and volume.
INSTALLATION AND TESTING
Remove end cap and mesh cover.
DISABLE SOUNDER
Switch Dip 7 to ON to prevent accidental activation.
MOUNT SOUNDER
Mount the S3B Sound Barrier in the desired location.
CONNECTIONS
Ensure the Battery Enable switch is OFF.
Make connections for the 12-volt external power supply.
Make connections for the alarm relay (normally closed opening in ‘Alarm’)
Make connections for Status Monitoring (optional).
SETTING THE SOUNDER TIMER
The S3B Sound Barrier will produce sound for a preset period. This can be from 30 seconds up to 8 minutes. The
timing is set using Dip switches 1 – 4.
Dip 1 Dip 2 Dip 3 Dip 4 Time
OFF OFF OFF OFF 30 seconds
ON OFF OFF OFF 60 seconds
OFF ON OFF OFF 120 seconds
OFF OFF ON OFF 240 seconds
OFF OFF OFF ON 480 seconds

DELAY AFTER ACTIVATION
The S3B Sound Barrier can be delayed 1, 3 and 6 seconds after the Alarm activation relay has triggered. The delays
are set using Dip 5 and 6 as follows:
Dip 5 Dip 6 Delay
OFF OFF 1 second
ON OFF 3 second
OFF ON 6 seconds
TEST MODE
Place Dip 8 to ON to place on TEST mode.
TESTING THE SOUNDER
Prior to testing the sounder ensure that:
The battery pack has been charged for a minimum of 2 hours.•
Battery Enable switch should be ON.•
Dip switch 7 should be OFF.•
All personnel attending the test have ear protection.•
Test the unit by opening the alarm connections (EN+ & EN-). If the sounder test is successful then place Dip switch 8
to OFF and reassemble. If the sounder does not test OK leave on charge for a further 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT NOTE - BATTERY CARE
If the S3B Sound Barrier is to be stored without external power for more than a week then the Battery Enable switch
must be switched OFF. Failure to do this will drain the battery completely and the battery will no longer retain a viable
charge.
HEALTH & SAFETY ISSUES
The S3B Sound Barrier is rated at 125 dB at 1 metre. This decreases at a rate of 6 dB per metre. We strongly
recommend that all engineers tting this device wear some form of approved ear protection and limit exposure
to the full sound of the device. Exposure without ear protection will create a feeling of nausea and disorientation.
This will disappear when the sounder is switched off or when the exposed person leaves the protected area. No
permanent hearing damage will be caused.
