Monitoring 

 

On BExH120D Hootronic DC units, dc reverse line monitoring 
can be used if required. The DC unit has a blocking diode 
fitted in their supply input lines. An end of line monitoring 
diode or an end of line monitoring resistor can be connected 
across the +ve and –ve terminals. If an end of line resistor is 
used it must have a minimum resistance value of 3k3 ohms 
and a minimum wattage of 0.5 watts or a minimum resistance 
value of 500 ohms and a min. wattage of 2 watts. 
 
The resistor must be connected directly across the +ve and -
ve terminals as shown in the following drawing. The resistor 
leads should be kept as short as possible.

14.1 Sound 

Selection

 

 

The BExH120D Hootronic sounder has 5 different traditional 
sounds that can be selected for the first stage alarm. The 
sounders can then be switched to sound second and third 
stage alarm sounds. The sounds are selected by pin headers 
on the pcb for both DC and AC units. The sound table below 
shows the pin header positions for the 5 sounds and which 
sounds are available for the second and third stages.  
 
The BExH120D Hootronic sounder has the facility to replicate 
the “tail off” traditionally associated with these sounds when 
generated by electro-mechanical devices. The switching is 
achieved using the “Stop” terminal (see section 12 & 13). 
 
See figure 5 for header location on AC units and Figure 7 for 
header location on DC units.

14.2 Volume 

Control 

 

 

The output level of the BEx hootronic sounder can be set by 
adjusting the volume control potentiometer (see Fig 10). For 
maximum output, set the potentiometer fully clockwise.
