Y05/YL5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General Description: This application should be installed and used as recommended by the National Fire Protection
Association standards and practices.
The Installer should be familiar with these requirements together with any local codes or special requirements of the local
Fire Authority having jurisdiction.
The alarm sounders are intended for connection to the output alarm circuit of a UL listed fire alarm control panel only. All
alarms are compatible with DC line status monitoring. The alarm sounders are suitable for outdoor use (-35ºC to +66ºC).
Installation procedures must confirm to appropriate agency requirements including but not limited to the following:-
NFPA72E, NEC ART.760 ET.AL., CAN/ULC-S524-M86, CEC PART 1 SEC 32
Installation: The sounder can be affixed to most surfaces using screws through the external mounting lugs or by drilling
internal fixing holes. A 20mm gland entry is provided for the supply cable. The cable and gland must be fitted in accordance
with the national and local regulations. It is not necessary to earth the sounder circuitry but earth tags should be used if earth
continuity of conduit or cable sheathing needs to be maintained.
Supply input: Ensure that the supply is correct for the voltage rating of the sounder or combined sounder strobe being
installed. Ensure the supply is OFF before making any connection and wire only in accordance with the terminal label detail.
Sound selection: Ensure the supply is OFF before proceeding. All dc and ac units have selectable alarm sounds (see table
below for details) and are selectable by means of a 5 way dil switch SW1. A second sound is made available upon the
application of a third wire connected to terminal TB1/3 as shown in Fig. 1 while still connected to terminal TB1/2. Alternatively
1st and 2nd stage sound signals can be generated by supply reversal (FOR DC UNITS ONLY) see Fig. 2. Independent
second stage sound is available by using SW2 (OPTIONAL- only fitted with orders).
WARNING - Loud alarm sound. Wear ear defenders when testing, installing and commissioning.
