Commissioning
1. Fit option Links:
a. Sounder cut-off timer: T1 and T2
b. Select SAD mode on/off as required
c. Set the ring trigger / BLi link as required.
See “Options selection” on page 2 for details.
2. Connect AP(S)/AP(R) as required depending on single or
multiple Sounder installation, see Figures 3 and 4.
3. Connect FAUTE, BL+.
4. Connect TEST if the remote test facility is required.
5. Connect ING to ALIM+ or a switched output of control
panel set high (optional to disable sounder)
6. Connect ALIM+ and ALIM−.
7. Apply power to the sounder via ALIM+ and ALIM− from
control panel.
8. Connect the red and black battery leads to correct
terminals of battery.
Notes
- The battery must be installed to allow the activation of
the siren. A 10-second delay may be necessary to verify
the presence of the battery before the siren can be
activated. The relay fault output is open during this period,
and the diagnostic LED flashes 2 times in a cycle.
- AS280G3 is specified to function with the Aritech
BS122N battery, and it is essential that this battery is
used.
9. If the ING input has been connected as step 5, then once
the cover is fitted and screw tightened, the AS280G3 will
perform a self-test. This takes approximately 10 seconds.
If the battery is faulty the unit will indicate this with a series
of continuous fast clicks.
10. If ING input has been connected as step 5, then remove
this link.
Note: Sounder will activate if SAD Mode is selected, and
cover is removed.
11. Fully test sounder functionality.
Commissioning complete.
Note: If commissioning sequence is omitted (sounder is
connected to ALIM+ / ALIM− and battery supplies with ING
input at 0 V), then immediately after ALIM+ and ALIM−
connected, active Auto-protection conditions will not be
processed until:
a. 6 seconds after ALIM+ and ALIM− applied.
— and —
b. The Auto-protection condition is first cleared and then a new
Auto-protection event is generated.
Maintenance
The AS280G3 sounder should be tested for correct operation
on a periodic basis. A minimum of one check every 12 months
is recommended. The following features should be verified on
each maintenance visit:
1. Correct operation of sounder from control panel signals
2. Correct operation of cover and rear Tampers.
3. Remove the ALIM+ supply from the control panel and
check that the internal battery voltage as measured
between BAT+ and BAT− is greater than 12.0 VDC. If the
battery voltage is less than this value, replace the battery
and reconnect observing CORRECT polarity.
4. Check for signs of significant water or insect ingress.
Clean as necessary.
Battery removal
The battery may be removed for disposal at end of product life
or if it is detected faulty by the sounder self-test. To remove,
disconnect red and black leads from the battery terminals,
unclip rubber retaining band, and withdraw the battery from its
holder. To fit a new battery, insert into holder, and reconnect
positive (RED) and negative (BLACK) leads to CORRECT
positive and negative battery terminals. Refit rubber retaining
band.
IMPORTANT: Ensure correct polarity of connections. If either
battery lead has become detached from the terminal block,
ensure that exposed battery leads DO NOT accidentally cause
a short circuit, then secure positive (RED) lead to BAT+ and
negative (BLACK) lead to BAT−.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with all national and
local regulations.
