SONF1 Alarm Sounder
The SONF1 is a compact, high output, 100dB(A) alarm sounder. Low current consumption and high SPL in a robust fire retardant housing ensure it is suitable for general signalling applications including fire, security and process control.
Description:
Sonora range offers compact audio visual signaling for fire, industrial, process control and machine safety applications. The range features low current consumption combined with high performance. The SONF1 is available with two levels of sound level output and is CPR compliant (tested to EN54-3) for fire alarm use. Approved by VdS and UL.
Features:
• Automatic synchronisation on multi-sounder system.
• Continuously rated.
• Stainless steel fixings.
• Mounting via internal BESA compatible fixing positions (standard version) or via external mounting lugs.
• Duplicate cable terminations (in & out for daisy-chain installations).
• Tropicalisation available on request.
• Available with custom tone configurations and frequencies.
