PS1400 Sounder - Installation Instructions
Pertronic Industries Ltd 10300- PS1400 Sounder Issue 5.0 20230614
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 76dBA. 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.
NOTE: The ‘Alert’terminal has no effect on a PS1400.
