Overview
The PS1400 Sounder is one of a range of sounders manufactured by Pertronic
Industries. The PS1400 Sounder is a modified PS1 sounder and generates tones
equivalent to the System Sensor PA400 sounder. The PS1400 is NOT AS2220
compliant.
The PS1400 Sounders have a maximum sound pressure level of 83dBA. The sound
level may be adjusted by a Volume control.
PS1400 Sounders are normally connected to the monitored Bell or sounder circuit of a
Fire Alarm Panel and are activated when the sounder circuit voltage polarity is reversed
in the ‘Alarm’ state.
The PS1400 Sounders may be mounted in a standard single-gang electrical flush-box
fitting, and are supplied with a protective plastic cover for installation and building
construction use.

Operation
The panel Bell circuit connects to the PS1400 Sounder as shown below.
Bell terminals ‘+’ and ‘-’ connect to the corresponding Sounder ‘+’ and ‘-’ terminals.
If the Bells are not active, the panel monitors the Bell circuit by applying a negative
voltage to the PS1400 ‘+’ terminal. The quiescent current drawn by the PS1400 under
this condition is less than 0.4A.
When the panel Bell circuit activates, the panel Bell circuit voltage reverses (applying
positive voltage to the PS1400 ‘+’ terminal), sounding the PS1400. The ‘Alert’ terminal
has no effect on a PS1400.
PS1400 Operation
Panel Bell Circuit Alert Terminal Tone Generated
Monitor mode No effect None
Active No effect Evacuate
Some bell driver circuits provide a pulsed signal to the PS1400 to give an alternative
‘Alert’ signal using the ‘Evacuation’ tone.
The sequence is: 3.75 seconds – Evacuation tone (one cycle)
12 seconds – silence
3.75 seconds – Evacuation tone
12 seconds – silence (repeated).
