4.0 OPERATION
The sounder is available in various AC input voltage versions and a single DC input voltage version.
For AC versions, the nominal operating voltage is stated on the unit label and the supply voltage tolerance is ±10%.
For DC versions, the absolute input voltage range is 11.0Vdc to 57.6Vdc.
The unit is fitted with a volume control which is positioned on the top face of the electronics assembly PCB.
Maximum volume is obtained when this control is turned fully clockwise. When turned fully anti-clockwise the unit
will emit no sound.
Warning: Do not attempt to turn the volume control past its limits of movement as this may cause damage to the
unit.
Stages
For all versions, a 5-way DIP switch selects the stage required for each stage. The settings for the standard stages
are shown in the table below:
