Programming I/O and Sounders & Sub- Menus.
Panel Outputs
The only sounder programming which can be changed on the panel is the sounder tone and the
volume, if these settings are changed then the changes are applied to all the sounders on the system
whereas if the settings are done on the site installer software then it is possible to individually
configure the sounder tone and volume for each sounder.
These controls only apply to loop powered sounders so if there are a significant number on the loops
be careful when setting medium or high. If all the loop sounders are set to these levels it is possible to
overload the panel and cause the loop to current limit.
There are three volume settings; Low, Medium, High; and four tones: Pulsing, Continuous, Two Tone,
Slow Whoop. If the sounder settings are not altered on the panel then they will default to two tone and
low volume.
Because these settings apply to all the loop sounders, care must be taken to prevent overloading if
medium and/or high were to be programmed.
The panel sounder circuits are limited in the way they can be programmed, the three stages available
to the loop sounders are not available for the panel sounders. They should really only be used when
the system is a one out all out configuration, if anything more complex is required then loop sounders
are the best option. If conventional sounders are required, they need to be controlled by a sounder
control unit.
