FIREFINDER NZ CONFIGURATION MANAGER
4.4.4 Bell Sounder Boards
This option allows the user to select a number of Bell/Sounder output boards to be fitted to the panel.
These boards allow a larger number than normal, of bells and sounders to be connected to the
FireFinder Series II System. In the Bell Sounder Board screen the type of Sounder Board is
selected and Sounder Groups are entered into the O/P columns.
Bell Sounder Boards are built in two versions:
1. All outputs are monitored sounder outputs which provide 1 Amp per output.
2. The first 4 outputs are voltage free change over contacts and the second 4 provide
monitored 1 Amp outputs.
The Sounder/ Bell monitor board connects to the serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus. This is the
same bus that connects to the Brigade Signalling Board. A maximum of 8 boards can be daisy
chained together.
Selecting the tick box will determine if the boards are fitted and then selecting either 8SND (sounder
/ bell) or 4S (bell) / 4VFC (Voltage Free Contacts) will determine which board is to be fitted to the
panel.
