Product Description
The ActiV Hi-Output range of conventional voice sounders and combined voice sounder visual
alarm devices (VADs) are designed for use with C-TEC's range of conventional fire panels (CFP,
FP/ MFP, EP203) and other compatible third-party panels. However, compatibility testing with
third-party panels is recommended to ensure correct operation.
With a 100 dB(A) peak sound output @ 1 m, their purpose is to visually and audibly alert building
occupants of a fire alarm. Units are supplied with either a shallow or deep base, in a red plastic
enclosure.
The following variants are available:

CONVENTIONAL VOICE SOUNDERS
o C
The devices offer low current consumption, high sound output, high efficiency VADs, four
selectable tones, two selectable evacuation voice messages, two selectable volume levels and
three selectable VAD flash rates. Tones, messages, volume levels and VAD flash rates are selected
using the device's 8-way DIP switch.
All devices are designed to comply with the relevant sections of the fire alarm device standards
EN 54-3 (Sounders) and EN 54-23 (Visual alarm devices - VADs).
