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.

 If the sounder is required to be tamper-proof,

knock down the arch knockout as shown in Fig. 1
and fix it with ST2.9×6.5 self-tapping screws (in
this case, it can only be removed by a cross
screwdriver).

Application

Address, tone, programming method, consumption
mode can be set through P-9910B programmer (refer
to P-9910B Hand Held Programmer Installation and
Operation Manual).

 Tone, single/dual address mode and consumption

mode can be set by changing the parameter of a
sounder using P-9910B programmer. Refer to
Table 1 for parameters and P-9910B Hand
Programmer Installation and Operation Manual for
details.

 In single address mode, the sounder will sound the

preset tone when activated.

 In dual addresses mode,

 The sounder will sound the pre-alarm tone

when activating the first address;

 The sounder will sound a preset tone (refer to

Table 1) when activating the second address;

 The sounder will sound the preset tone (refer to

Table 1) when activating the first and second
address together.

 Wiring diagram

 Fig.5 shows that the sounder is loop-powered.

 Below is an example showing how to set the

sounder addressed 25 as dual addresses, tone 15
and normal consumption mode.

Switch on the P-9910B programmer, input the
password and press the Function key and number 3.
Enter 63 and the Program key. The setting is
successful when P appears on the display. The
sounder is now to be programmed Address No. 25
and 26.
Table 1 shows tone, programming method,
consumption mode for the sounder (Factory default is
single address Tone 14 under normal consumption
mode).
