AUDIOVISUAL WIRELESS WALL SOUNDER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The audiovisual wireless wall sounder is an output device that combines together acoustic and visual signaling features performed in
case of fire or emergency situations.
This device is activated by a specific command from the control panel sent through a wire-to-wireless translator module and one or
more possible wireless area expansion modules (known, also, as expander devices).
The communication between the sounder-beacon and the translator / expander modules is wireless via the “Sagittarius” bidirectional
protocol.
This device allows the installer to choose among five different tones and to regulate its output volume setting; incorporated beacon’s
flash rate and light intensity are fixed.

DEVICE’S POWER SUPPLY AND LINKING
The linking operation permits the configuration of the sounder-beacon device on the translator module.
The linking operation described below does not change if made directly from the translator module or from the Wirelex PC configura-
tion program.
1) Move the “link-program” switch to position ON (picture 1).
2) Insert the secondary battery into its housing (picture 1), with the poles correctly oriented as indicated on the PCB.
3) Insert the primary battery into its housing (picture 1), with the poles correctly oriented as indicated on the PCB.
The visual LED indicator switches on accordingly (see “Power up” in table 1).
Ensure that both battery polarities are correct!!!
4) When the translator (by itself or piloted by the Wirelex) is searching for a new device for linking, move the “link-program” switch to
position 1 in order to initiate communication with the translator module; the visual LED indicator switches on accordingly (see
“Programming and linking to the system” in table 1).
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Programming is considered to be completed successfully only if there is an indication of programming success on the translator or on
the window of the Wirelex program.
If the linking and programming operation fails, check if mistakes were made with the translator or the Wirelex, remove the batteries,
switch over alternatively the ON / 1 switch a few times in order to discharge the internal capacitor and then start again from point 1)
re-performing the linking procedure.
SOUNDER VISUAL LED INDICATOR
This device is equipped with a bi-colour LED (red/green) that provides visual indication for functional conditions and battery levels as
indicated in table 1. The indicator is positioned on the device’s PCB (picture 1).
*Ideal operating range: may
vary consistently according to
environmental conditions.
** When a low battery condition is
indicated, both, main and
secondary, batteries must be
changed altogether.
*** This lifespan value refers to the
device being set with a message
transmission period of 12 se-
conds; tests are not considered in
this estimation.
**** Type A for indoor use only.

COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT
It is possible to assess the wireless communication quality of this device with the system by using an in-built testing feature.
After a successful linking operation, by switching over the “link-program” switch on the ON position, the LED indicator will start blink-
ing according to table 2.
Always remember to reposition the switch to 1 after the assessment operation: device will NOT work operatively while the
switch is positioned on the ON position.

SOUNDER DEVICE REMOVAL FROM THE WALL BASE
In order to remove the sounder device from the wall base, the opening
key must be inserted into the two holes present on the base; hold only
the base firmly with one hand and insert and push the key into its holes
with the other, until the device unblocks. During this operation be careful
not to break the two pins of the key and not to drop the device on the
floor.

DEVICE PLACEMENT
For specific information regarding detector and device’s spacing, placement and special applica-
tions refer to your specific national standards.
It is strongly advised to mount the device as far as possible from metal objects, metal doors,
metal window openings, etc. as well as cable conductors, cables (especially from computers),
otherwise the operating distance may greatly drop. The device should not be installed near
electronic devices and computer equipment that can interfere with the reception’s quality.
1) Select the position of the device before installing it. Verify, from that position, that the
communication between the device and the translator or the expander is correctly estab-
lished and working (see the COMMUNICATION QUALITY ASSESSMENT paragraph).
2) Install the wall base in the selected position with the provided screws (picture 3).
3) Set the device’s tone and output volume; see the following paragraphs.
4) Test the sounder-beacon (see the following paragraphs), then install securely the sounder-beacon device onto the fixed wall box.

VOLUME REGULATION
In order to adjust the sounder-beacon output volume, switch over, with the aid of the tip of a pen or screwdriver, the first switch
(beginning from the right) positioned under the PCB (see picture 4).
The switch, if set inwards the device, gives the highest volume, while, if set outwards, gives the lowest volume (see the TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS).

BATTERY FAULTS
If a battery fault condition is detected on this device, a fault message is sent to the control panel via translator / expander.
This kind of fault condition is locally signaled by the device’s visual LED indicator (see table 1).
TESTING
In order to test the functionality of the installed sounder beacon, the following test must be performed: activate an alarm condition on
the control panel (by a call-point or sensor in the installed system): the control panel will transmit an activation message to the device
via translator / expander and activate its output.
After each test the device must be reset by the specific command on the control panel or on the translator (see the RESET para-
graph).
If the test fails, check whether the batteries are charged, if mistakes were done previously or even if the system is activated. If the
device’s functionality is hopeless, send back the device to your distributor for repair or substitution.
All devices must be tested after installation and, successively, on a periodic basis.
RESET
To reset the sounder-beacon device from an activated or a fault condition, it is necessary to:
1) solve the cause of the abnormal condition
2) send the reset command from the control panel or from the translator.
Performing sequentially those two operations, the strobe and sound output and/or fault condition will deactivate / resolve.

OUTPUT TONE SELECTION
In order to select the sounder-beacon sound output, switch over, with the aid of the tip of a pen or screwdriver, the first three switches
(beginning from the left side) positioned under the PCB (see picture 4).
Select the desired tone by referring to table 3 and changing over the switches as thereby specified: the first indicated digit in the
sequence symbolizes the switching status of the leftmost one and the successive ones are those that follow in physical sequence
(“Switches position” column of the table); value “0” means that the considered switch must be set outwards the device; value “1”
means that the considered switch must be set inwards the device.
Table 3 - Tone selection reference table
TAMPER DETECTION FEATURE
This device is provided with a tamper detection switch-spring system (picture 1), and, in case of removal of the sounder-beacon
device from its wall base, it sends a tamper detection message to the control panel. For this reason assure that the sounder-beacon
device is well inserted onto its wall base and securely closed.
MAINTENANCE
1) Before starting any maintenance work, isolate and disable the system, in order to avoid accidental and unwanted fault / tamper
detection conditions.
2) Remove the sounder-beacon from its wall base.
3) Perform the planned necessary maintenance operations (e.g. battery substitution).
4) After the device has been serviced, reinstall correctly the sounder-beacon onto its wall base, re-apply power to the system and
check correct operation as described under the TESTING paragraph.
WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly resistant
to environmental deterioration. However, after 10 years of continuous operation, it is advisable to
replace the devices in order to minimize the risk of reduced performance caused by external
factors. Ensure that this device is only used with compatible control panels. Detection systems
must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to confirm correct operation.
Smoke sensors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus application
advice should be sought for special risks. Sensors cannot respond correctly if barriers exist be-
tween them and the fire location and may be affected by special environmental conditions.
Refer to and follow national codes of practice and other internationally recognized fire engineering standards.
Appropriate risk assessment should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
