Introduction
The Twinflex sounder/VAD allows for audible and visual indication
when the fire alarm system enters a fire alarm condition.
This device is compatable with the Twinflex 2-wire range
of fire alarm equipment and comprises a 2-wire zone powered
sounder and VAD. The device may be installed on the same zone as
the Twinflex ASD detector/sounder and associated Twinflex devices.
Before Installation
The sounder/VAD must be installed in compliance with the control panel installation manual (26-0959). The
installation must also meet the requirements of any local authority. For maximum performance the sounder should
be installed in compliance with BS5839 Pt1.
Spacing
The sounder/VAD should be mounted securely and care should be taken to ensure the device is accessible for
future testing or replacement. FIKE recommends spacing of sounder/VAD's in accordance with BS5839 Pt1, and
any local authority requirements.
Device Installation
Fix the back box in a suitable position using at least two screw holes/slots, remembering to allow enough cable
length for installation. All wiring must be installed in compliance with the recommendations laid out by any local
authority as well as any special recommendations documented in the control panel installation manual.
For wall mounted VAD's you must orientate the sounder/VAD so that the system LED and locking screw are
located on the bottom of the device. The sounder VAD must be located 2.4m off the floor to the centre of the device,
and has a coverage volume of 7.5m.
Care should be taken when terminating devices to ensure all cables are correctly sleeved and connections are
secure. Improper connections will prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a fire. This product is
