1) Introduction
The Appello tone and speech annunciation
sounder has three different styles in AC and DC.
•A121AX Sounder
•MV121 Sounder
•AL121AXH High Output LED
Sounder-Beacon Combination unit
•AL121AXX Xenon Strobe
Sounder-Beacon Combination unit
These Sounder units share a common set of
functions:-
•4 stages, each stage can record up to 30
seconds of CD quality audio.
•Facility to record via an on board microphone
or a line in input.
•The recorded message can be played back
proceeded either with or without the choice
of one of forty five tones.
The Beacon functions are either:-
•Xenon Strobe - 1Hz flash rate
•LED - Either Steady or 2Hz blink rate
2) Operating and Marking
All units have the following operating
requirements and limitations.

Always de-energize unit before removing cover.
The installation of the units must be in
accordance with any local codes that may apply
and should only be carried out by a competent
trained electrical engineer.
The power terminals on the control unit are
clearly marked and will accept up to 1.5mm2
cable.
DC Terminals
on main PCB.
++ = Positive
- - = Negative
AC Terminals
On Sub PCB
L = Live
N = Neutral
E = Earth
The AL121 units will have the beacon already
prewired to the unit so no extra wiring is required.
4) Beacon Set-up
The beacon unit may need to be configured
dependant on the type of flash required.
The xenon beacon has a 1Hz flash rate only.
The LED beacon is set as standard to the 2Hz
flash mode but it can be set to a steady on mode
also. To alter the settings, change the position of
the header pin as shown.
•Remove header for steady mode.
•Keep header in standard position for
2Hz flashing mode
5) Unit Set-up and Recording
The unit will need to be configured to suit the end
user.
If recording either via the onboard microphone or
the in-line connector the unit will need to be
supplied with power.
DC units can be powered when completing
recording and set-up.
Warning! : During set-up on AC units care
must be taken not to touch the live terminals.
This is because on the AC units there is a risk
of electric shock.
See section 7) Appello Setup Guide overleaf for
Set-up instructions and functions.
6) Tone Selection Table
The Appello unit has 45 different tones (See
Table 1) that can be selected for the first stage
alarm. The systems can then be switched to
sound second, third and fourth stage alarm tones.
The tones are selected by operation of a DIP
switch S4 on the main PCB.
The tone table (Table 1) shows the switch
positions for the 45 tones and which tones are
available for the second third and fourth stages.
Example
S4 Dip Switch -
Shown Set for Tone 1
(All switches OFF)
To sound stage one simply connect the supply
voltage (+ve and –ve) for DC units and (L, N, E)
for AC units, to the supply input terminals on the
correct PCB shown.

Sheet 3 of 10
DC Units Second, Third and Fourth Stage
Selection
The Appello unit uses –ve switching to change
the tone to the second, third and fourth stages.
Warning! : The negative supply must remain
connected to the -(ve) terminal and a link
made from this to the appropriate stage (S2)
terminal otherwise the unit will be damaged.
To change to the second, third or fourth stage
tone, link the -ve supply line to terminal relevant
stage terminal. Ie. for Stage 2 link the -ve supply
to the S2 terminal, for Stage 3 link the -ve supply
to the S3 terminal etc.
AC Units Second, Third and Fourth Stage
Selection
The Appello unit uses Live switching to change
the tone to the second, third and fourth stages.
To change to the second, third or fourth stage
tone, whilst maintaining the ac supply to the Live
and neutral, also link the Live supply line to
terminal relevant stage terminal. i.e. for Stage 2
link the Live supply to the S2 terminal, for Stage 3
link the Live supply to the S3 terminal etc.

7) Appello Setup Guide
The following guide is designed to get the user quickly interfacing with the Appello unit.
•The Appello unit can be set-up to either play an attention seeking tone and then a recorded
message or just play the recorded message.
•The user can:
oRecord on each of the 4 stages using either the Line In or Microphone inputs
oSelect the required alarm tone
oDelete unwanted messages.
•To re-record a message on a particular stage, the previous message on that stage must be
deleted first.
•Once the user has configured the unit, it must be put into it's Playback Mode and S2 switches set
to stage 1, as shown in Quick Ref - Playback Mode (Stage 1 illustrated) guide below.
•The “Mass Erase”function will erase all the recorded stages.
•The "Mass Erase" can also be used to reset the unit if any functionality is lost.
