CWS100-AV
Conventional Wall Sounder Beacon
The CWS100-AV conventional wall sounder beacon forms the core of
our EN54-23 Visual Alarm Device range. The unit is of a modular design
and is weatherproof as standard, therefore the unit can be used either
standalone or with the addition of an intelligent addressable module
(ALWS-MOD) or wireless module (SGWS-MOD). This modular approach
means the majority of site applications can be achieved with just a few
core stock components.
When used with either of the intelligent module options the unit has a
built in microphone which allows the unit to indicate a fault should the
sounder not operate when activated or tested.

OUTPUT VOLUME SETTING

Use the DIP switch at the back of the sounder body for setting
the output volume; in particular, switches 6 and 7 are used. The
switches positioned upwards acquire value “1” or when posi-
tioned downwards acquire value “0”.

Refer to table below and set the position of both switches 6 and
7 according to the required volume when the sounder is active.

Tone volume Switch 6 Switch 7 dB(A) evaluation Notes

HIGH 1 1 100 dB(A) +/-3 All tones
MEDIUM HIGH 0 1 All tones
MEDIUM LOW 1 0 All tones
LOW 0 0

OUTPUT TONE SETTING

Use the DIP switch at the back of the sounder body for set-
ting the output tone; in particular, switches 1 to 5 are used.
The switches positioned upwards acquire value “1” or when
positioned downwards acquire value “0”.

Using the DIP switches it is possible to select a tone

between 1 and 32. Utilises the Standard or Alternative wiring
connections determines whether this tone is selected from
the Standard of Alternative tone tables (Page 4 and 5), when
the sounder is activated.
When using the Intelligent interface module the Standard and
aternative tones may be selected via the loop protocol and
control panel settings.*
