Klaxon Sonos DC Sounder Beacon Installation Instructions

This document provides detailed installation instructions for the Klaxon Sonos DC Sounder Beacon.

Installation

To secure the sounder to its base, the locking mechanism can be activated by removing the thin plastic section shown in Fig. 1a using side cutters or a similar tool. To release a locked head, remove the small rubber bung from the side hole of the sounder, insert a tool into the hole, and depress the clip while twisting the head. The O-ring and bung must be refitted to maintain 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.

Wiring

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.

Line	Terminal Marking
Common Positive Supply	(3) IN+
Sounder Negative Supply	(2) - or COM -
Beacon Negative Supply	(1) ♫

Tone Selection and Volume Control

The tone is selected using the 5-way dipswitch on the bottom of the sounder head. Refer to the tone table for details of available tones and the required switch settings. The sound output of the unit can be reduced by adjusting the potentiometer on the bottom of the sounder.
