Description
I-9404 Intelligent Sounder is an audible alarm device
installed in field, which can be activated by fire alarm
control panel in fire control center. After activated, it
will generate strong audible alarm signal to warn
people in field.
A 25.5mm high shallow base and a 40mm high deep
base are available. The sounder comes with the
shallow base. The deep base C-94DB should be
ordered separately. Unless otherwise stated, all
descriptions in this manual take the shallow base as
example.
Connection & Cabling
Terminals on the base are shown in Fig. 2.

Recommended Wiring
1.5mm2 or above fire cable for D1, D2, Z1 and Z2,
subject to local codes.
Installation
When surface mounted, the sounder should be
placed 0.2m from the ceiling for normal space
height. When the conduit is embedded, the base
can be mounted on the back box. When the
conduit is surface mounted, the deep base should
be adopted. Knock the knockout hole, and connect
the conduit with it. The mounting hole spacing and
mounting direction are shown in Fig. 2. Mounting
method is shown in Fig. 3a and Fig. 4. The conduit
must be embedded when the shallow base is used,
as shown in Fig. 3b.
The base and the sounder are twisted together.
When mounting, remove the sounder, thread
cables through the cable entry in the base and
connect with corresponding terminals, then twist
the sounder onto the base.
