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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Communication quality Assessment
No communication Fail
Communication quality: 0 dB - 10 dB (Mark 2) Poor
Communication quality: 10 dB - 20 dB (Mark 3) Medium-low
Communication quality: 20 dB - 30 dB (Mark 4) Good
Communication quality: > 30 dB (Mark 5) Excellent

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.
