klaxon Sonos DC Sounder Beacon
PRODUCT INFORMATION
PThe Sonos DC Sounder Beacon is a fire alarm device that produces both sound and light to alert individuals in case of a fire emergency. It comes in two types – Type A for indoor use with a shallow base and Type B for outdoor use with a deep base. The sounder has been tested and declared to meet the EN54-3:2001+A1:2002 A2:2006 standard for operational performance, durability, and enclosure protection.
Installation Instructions
To install the sounder, activate the mechanism for locking the sounder to the base by removing the thin section of plastic shown in Fig. 1a with side cutters or a similar tool. The sounder and beacon 0V terminals can be linked together for simultaneous control of sound and light using a 2-core connection. A separate earth terminal is provided on the deep base for connecting the screen or functional earth. On the shallow base, terminal 5 can be used for this purpose.
Tone Selection and Volume Control
The tone is selected using the 5-way dipswitch on the bottom of the sounder.
There are 32 tone types to choose from, each with a corresponding tone
description/application, dBA @ 1m, and mA values listed in the table. To
adjust the volume, adjust the power supply voltage.

Installation
- If required, the mechanism for locking the sounder to the base can be activated by removing the thin section of plastic shown in Fig. 1a with side cutters or a similar tool. To open a locked head, remove the small rubber bung from the hole on the side of the sounder, insert a tool into the hole and depress the clip whilst twisting the head. The O-ring and bung must be re-fitted to maintain the weatherproofing.
- An alternative locking method is shown in Fig. 1b. Drive the hexagonal locking screw forward by turning a 1.5mm hexagonal key clockwise until the head is locked.
