Addressable Sounder Circuit Module
Features
Photoelectric insulation technology for loop and power,
good ability of anti-interference.
Address can be programmed through a programmer or
fire alarm control panel (FACP).
Microprocessor monitors running, checks the short,
broken circuit of output, monitors power supply and
transmits the information to the FACP.
Four working modes.
Plug-in structure.
Description
I-9308 Addressable Sound Circuit Module (the module) is
used to drive C-9402 Conventional Base Mount Sounder
(C-9402), C-9403 Conventional Sounder Strobe (C-9403),
C-9404 Conventional Sounder (C-9404), generating
pre-alarm sound, fire alarm and continuous alarm sound.
The module is addressable, and four working modes can be
set through hand held programmer, with cable-checking.
If the cable conduit is inside the wall, the base is installed
onto the Back Box (Fig. 2). If the cable conduit is on the
surface of the wall, a B-9310 Back Box is available (Fig. 3).
Connection and Cabling
Fig. 1 shows terminals of the module.
Fig. 1
Connection description:
D1, D2: 24VDC power, non-polarized
Z1, Z2: Connecting with loop of FACP, non-polarized
L+, L-: Polarized output, refer to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 for
connection with different sounders.
Recommended Cabling
1.0mm2 or above fire cable should be for Z1, Z2. Fire cable,
whose cross section should meet with power capacity of
connected devices, is for 24VDC power line; 1.5mm2 or
above fire cable for others, subject to local codes.
Installation
The module is simply plugged onto the base after
corresponding terminals are connected.

Note the arrow upward for mounting direction (Fig. 1).
Operation
Programming
The module can be programmed in field through a
programmer. When the module occupies two addresses, the
low address can be programmed and can increase 1
automatically to become the high address. Refer to P-9910B
Hand Held Programmer Installation and Operation Manual
for specific operations.
Setting Working Mode
In power-on state, press Function and enter number 4, “-”
will show on the last digit. Input the alarm mode parameter,
press Program, “P” will be shown on the screen, meaning the
corresponding mode has been set. The module is defaulted
mode I (1). Working mode (I, II, III, IV) can be set in field
referring to the corresponding parameters (1, 2, 3, 4).
Program the module before installation, use proper mode
according to the field conditions.
