Galaxy Speaker Output Vs Sounder

[dwdave]

I have never used the speaker output on the Galaxy Panel. Only ever sounders etc.

 

What is the difference between the two?

 

Thanks,

Speaker gives you different "speed"(whatever you call it) tones for faults or exit etc

Sounder just sounds

A sounder makes a noise, a speaker mimics the tones of the panel for different conditions (Fire, Intruder, Entry, Chime, etc)

[dwdave]

Gotcha.

 

Makes perfect sense.

It would make even more sense if the speaker or sounder is not mounted adjacent to a end station which, amongst other things, is supposedly placed in a out-of-site location. Mounting here would simply draw attention to the location of the panel.

That's correct, WD's are not supposed to be mounted next to CIE for that reason.

Yeah I'm all over the Wd's and CIE's. Sometimes I like to throw in some ABC's and mix it with a little 123.

 

But .... I am planning to mount the extension speaker downstairs - probably the furthest point from the panel, and right above a PA trigger.

Don't you just love it when they mount them in the control panel.

Come on then - someone put me out of my misery.

 

WD - Warning Device?

 

CIE - Consumer .... EndStation?

 

I dunno - give us a clue?
