FAQ
What is the difference between the R100-SC and R100-SBC models?
The R100-SC is a sounder-only device, while the R100-SBC combines both sounder and beacon (visual alarm device) functionality. The R100-SBC includes a white LED beacon with selectable coverage settings and flash patterns, making it suitable for applications requiring both audible and visual alarm indication.
Can this device be used outdoors?
Yes, the R100-SBC can be used outdoors when fitted with the optional R100-SM/WP weatherproof backbox. This upgrade provides IP33C rating and includes two threaded 20mm cable entry points for secure outdoor installation. Without the weatherproof backbox, the device is rated IP21C for indoor use only.
How do I adjust the sounder volume and beacon settings?
The R100-SBC features 4 selectable sounder volumes (Off, Low, Medium, High) and 4 VAD coverage settings (0-3, with 0 being off). These settings are configured during installation and determine both the sound output level and the beacon coverage pattern according to your specific application requirements.
What voltage does this device require?
The R100-SBC operates on 17-28V DC with a quiescent current of 0mA. During alarm conditions, the current consumption varies from 8.9mA to 36mA depending on the selected VAD setting, with higher settings providing greater coverage but consuming more power.
Is this device certified to EN54 standards?
Yes, the R100-SBC is designed to comply with EN54 Part 3 for sounders (both Type A indoor and Type B outdoor) and EN54-23 for visual alarm devices. The certification is currently pending, ensuring the device meets professional fire alarm system requirements.
What are the dimensions and weight of this device?
For indoor installation, the device measures 100x100x106mm and weighs 320g. When using the outdoor weatherproof backbox, the dimensions increase to 120x120x124mm. The compact design makes it suitable for various mounting locations while maintaining professional appearance.
