Introduction
The A131 high level audible warning system is an
effective wide area warning alarm system and
can be used where there is a requirement to
attract attention over large areas and also where
potential high levels of background noise exist.
The system comprises of a central control unit
which is configured to drive between one and four
synchronized audible horns.
The control unit produces forty five different alarm
sounds (tones) that are selectable using an
internal dipswitch (see tone table page 3 for
available tones) including a stage 2 and stage 3
alarm option.
Each audible horn is capable of producing a
range of loud warning signals with output levels
at
one
meter
of
approximately
depending on tone selected.
Both the control unit and horns are suitable to
mount either indoors or outdoors in a number of
mounting configurations with ingress protection to
IP66.
This particular unit is also fitted with a Battery
backup system with fault monitoring with relay
terminals and a set of remote start and stop
terminals.

cover.
The installation of the units must be in
accordance with any local codes that may apply
and should only be carried out by a competent
electrical engineer who has the necessary
training.

Power Supply Selection
It is important that a suitable power supply is run
the control unit. The power supply selected must
have the necessary capacity to provide the input
current to the control unit.
