Installing External Sounders
Step 1. Ensure that the unit is switched `OFF’.
Step 2. Insert the external sounder wires into the correct terminals.
Step 3. DIL switch SW6 – should be ‘OFF’ (external sounders/strobes to trigger during alarm
condition).
Important: Please ensure all sounders have their own power source and are wired correctly in
accordance with their own installation manuals.
Warning: Incorrectly installed external devices may cause irreversible damage to the Alert Point.
Step4. Turn the unit `ON’ using the master key switch.
Step 5. The LED will now flash green every 8 seconds (or will remain constant if connected to an
external power supply), indicating that the unit is functioning correctly.
Step 6. Test:
When the operating element is depressed, the unit will go into alarm condition: the externally
installed sounders should now sound.
Step 7. Reset the Alert Point using the reset key, all sounders should now silence.
Please note: If the `Auto Reset’ is disabled (DIL switch SW11 `OFF’) the sounders will continue
to sound until the master Key switch is turned `OFF’. When turned back `ON’ the unit
should be in `standby’ condition.
IMPORTANT: Enabling/Disabling external sounders will also enable/disable any strobes or
beacons also wired to this unit.

Step 3. DIL switch SW6 – should be ‘OFF’ (external sounder(s)/strobes(s) to trigger during alarm
condition).
Important: Please ensure all external strobe(s)/beacon(s) have their own power source and are wired
correctly in accordance with their own installation manuals.
Warning: Incorrectly installed external devices may cause irreversible damage to the Alert Point.
Step 4. Turn the unit `ON’ using the master key switch.
Step 5. The LED will flash green every 8 seconds (or will remain constant if connected to an external
power supply), this indicates that the unit is functioning correctly.
Step 6. Test:

installed strobe(s)/beacon(s) should now flash.
Step 7. Reset the Alert Point using the reset key, all strobe(s)/beacon(s) should now cease flashing.
Please note: If the `Auto Reset’ is disabled (DIL switch SW11 ‘OFF’) the strobe(s)/beacon(s) will
continue to flash until the master key switch is turned `Off’. When turned back `On’ the unit
should be in `standby’ condition.

Optional Internal Beacon
An optional extra (
not supplied as standard ) for the Alert Point is the capacity to incorporate an
internal beacon – this can provide for those who may be audibly impaired.
Note:
All external sounders must be hard-wired
using 2-core cable, and must have their
own power supply.
It is recommended that external wiring
does not exceed 50 metres.
