Electrical characteristics
The Visual Indicating Device (VID) Sounder Beacons and Sounders are
loop powered units that are driven from an addressable controller
panel.They are available in ceiling and wall mounted variants, including an
outdoor wall version.
The ceiling mounted variants provide a base for fitting a fire detector. Alter-
natively, a blanking cap is fitted.
The beacons are not EN54-23 compliant and not suitable for applications
that require a VAD (Visual Alarm Device).
All VID Sounder Beacons and Sounders have a built-in two port loop short
circuit isolator.
Settings for tones, volume, beacon flash and status monitoring are
configurable using the control panel.
Selectable flash rates are:

1Hz (one flash every second)

0.5Hz (one flash every two seconds)
