4.6.5 PCB CONVENTIONAL SOUNDER CIRCUITS
The termination PCB has 2 conventional sounder circuit outputs, with a maximum capacity of 450 mA each. Please note that
conventional sounders should be wired as shown in the diagram below:
*The descriptions of sounders in this section also apply to flashers and combined sounder / flashers.

Note: If non-polarized alarm devices (e.g. some types of old mechanical bell, or a relay) are used, then a diode will have to be
placed in line with the device to enable fault monitoring. They may also need a back EMF protection diode. (Symptoms: Chattering
sounder relays that don’t turn off).

4.6.6 EVACS 16 VOICE ALARM SYSTEM
The Quatro panel can connect to the EVACS 16 system. It sees each channel of the EVACS as a voice sounder, so the panel has
control over the individual channels. They will be programmed as part of the usual ACTIONS programming for alert and evacuate
tones.
4.6.7 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DIFFERENT SOUNDER TYPES
SOUNDER TYPE
ADVANTAGE
DISADVANTAGE
