System Sensor Intelligent Product Range
6. AUDIO VISUAL PRODUCTS
KAC Sounders and Strobes from simple tone set conventional
products to fully featured fourteen-tone intelligent units, a
range of sounders, strobes and combined sounder-strobe
products suitable for all applications.
The range meets the requirements of EN54 Part 3; key
products are LPCB and VdS Approved. All are fully tested
under simulated climatic conditions to ensure “real-world”
conformance to the published specifications.
SOUNDERS
KAC Sounders are available in four or fourteen-tone versions.
They operate at 9-33VDC, optimised for use at 12 and 24 volts.
Four tone sounders have a high, medium and low volume
selection, whilst the fourteen tone sounder has a volume
control.
The sounders have a distinctive, acoustically efficient low
profile shape, producing high sound output at low current
levels. The shape provides a wide-angle uniform sound
distribution providing good audibility in all directions.
The sounders are of rugged construction with solid-state
electronics providing high reliability and stable performance.
Three bases are available: low profile IP44, IP55 or IP66.
DETECTOR BASE SOUNDERS
KAC Detector Base Sounders are for use either underneath
smoke detectors or fitted with a red or white lid as a low
profile wall mounted sounder. They are available in four or
fourteen tone versions. They operate at 9-33VDC (nominally
12 and 24 volt). Four tone sounders have a high, medium and
low volume selection, whilst the fourteen tone sounder has a
volume control.
The package is acoustically very efficient, producing omni-
directional high sound output with low current levels. The
detector base sounder can be used under any smoke detector
with 60mm mounting centres and an external diameter of up
to 102mm.
STROBES
The KAC Range of stand-alone Strobes is designed to provide
visual signalling for use in a wide range of applications. There
are both standard and high intensity output strobes available.
A variety of different coloured strobe lenses are available.
This variety of colours provides a range of products for
different applications.
SOUNDER STROBES
The KAC Sounder Strobe combines a full feature fourteen-tone
sounder with an integral strobe mounted on the horn. The
design provides an efficient combination of audible and visual
warning, in a package taking up no more surface area than a
standard sounder.
A variety of different coloured strobe lenses are available and
the product housing is available in either red or white.
BASES
Three bases are available for KAC Sounders and Sounder
Strobes. The standard base is an IP44 rated low profile unit.
The base has rear and side cable access suitable for use with
standard trunking and has mounting holes suitable for the
majority of back box formats.
A deeper profile base with knockouts and marked drilling
positions for rear and side entry allows for an IP55 rating,
when used with appropriate glands.
The IP66 base has the same features as the IP55, but includes
a sealing kit to increase the protection rating.
