ElecTech Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Been called to a new site where issues are being had with a fire alarm which has had XP95 sounder beacons installed 2 years ago into a blast freezer/chiller area. The area gets down to -38c. The sounders are starting to go into fault & the spec says -20c I think. Anyone know of any XP95 sounder beacons that can withstand the low temp OR a solution with some sort of enclosure which can keep them ambient temp but the sound not affected. There around roughly 10/15 sounders in there but are apart of a 120 device loop.

Shaunb1905 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm sure they're is a conventional sounder capable, so just stick a sounder controller on the loop (psi needed) and good to go Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41436-xp95-sounderbeacon-to-go-in-38c/#findComment-466665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElecTech Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yeah it is specialist, its almost like a blast freezer, I don't believe staff are in there when it goes down to those levels but regardless the sounders will need to be present when they are inside at say -20c. 11 hours ago, Shaunb1905 said: I'm sure they're is a conventional sounder capable, so just stick a sounder controller on the loop (psi needed) and good to go Yeah I'm sure that would work but cant find the sounder capable. What's a PSI by the way? Having not been to site I'm interested to how its wired as just been checking the FP200 spec & that's only rated down to -20c. I will update once I know more.

ElecTech Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Iv found a beacon that goes down to -50c Would a beacon solely be sufficient without the sound? Is there regulations to say sound has to be primary and a flashing beacon as a secondary visual?
