S-Cubed Mark Iii Or Ii And S-Quad - Honeywell Vigilon 4 loop Generic Commissioning Instructions

S-Cubed Mark III or II and S-Quad

Speech function
The Mark II or III S-Cubed or S-Quad Speech sounder function is provided by stored messages on
a flash memory chip within the assembly. The standard flash memory can hold up to 20 seconds of
audio and additionally it holds local complex attention tones, such as the bell and DIN signals.
Each signal output from a S Cubed Mark III or II, or S-Quad Speech device consists of an attention
tone followed by a message. The attention tone can be a local complex tone or a panel tone, such
as the standard 'nee naw' sound.

Visual Alarm function
- Part 23 complaint
It is possible to set the flash rate of devices like S-Cubed Mark III (including S-Quad with VAD)
using the commissioning tool. The flash rate can be set to 1s, 2s or 4s, but only the 2s rate is
compliant with EN54-23.
"
The Equality Act 2010 recommends visual alarms like those offered by
S-Cubed and S-Quad devices, are installed in protected premises to warn occupants who
are hard of hearing.
Strobe function (Legacy)
In the event of a fire the appropriate legacy S-Cubed Mark II or I and legacy S-Quad devices when
installed in the system will output alarm signals according to the site specific needs and these can
be Signal 1, 2 and 3. The strobe alarm flash rate is every 2s for signal 1, every 1s for signal 2 and
every 1s for signal 3. The output from these Strobes are not Part 23 compliant.
The strobe flash rate for signals 1, 2 and 3 can be changed using the commissioning tool. The
output flash rates are synchronised with S-Cubed Mark II or I strobe and legacy S-Quad strobe
devices installed in the same system.

Sounder function
A S-Cubed Mark III and II and S-Quad sounder element can operate in turbo mode if configured
during commissioning to provide further 3dB output. The sound outputs are based on the settings
of the FABs and SABs at the panel that gives changing levels over 2 seconds duration in 8 time
slots. The standard outputs are synchronised with the S-Quad devices, S-Cubed device and 34000
sounder devices installed in the same system.
The volume of the sound output can be individually set at the device, note that the sound level
should not be set lower than 65dBA at 1m for standards compliance. The system prevents
adjustment of volume down to zero. Another feature that can be configured is the soft start that
ramps the sound volume gradually to the maximum level set at the device.
Turbo and Non Turbo Modes
The S-Cubed or S-Quad sounder can output in turbo and/or in non turbo modes. The high and low
FAB mappings are used to change the tone output of the S-Cubed or S-Quad sounder. The turbo
mode outputs a waveform with a basic frequency that is the same as the resonant frequency of the
piezo inside each device. The non turbo mode outputs modulated turbo waveform.
