Siren 85 dB/SLIM Sounder

The Argina 85 dB addressable siren, or SLIM Sounder, can be used on the bidirectional fire detection loops of an Argina GMC+ addressable fire alarm control panel and can generate different tones.

• Siren powered by fire detection loop
• No extra cabling
• High sound level
• Low current consumption
• 4 tones
• Wide dispersion pattern
• Integral test facility
• Simple installation

A maximum of 48 sirens can be connected to a loop, bearing in mind that a loop may have a maximum of 124 addresses.

The siren can generate the following tones:

• Slow whoop : rising from 500 Hz to 1200 Hz in 3 seconds, followed by a 0.5 second pause
• Sinusoidal tone: a signal rising from 500 Hz to 1200 Hz, then descending to 500 Hz, etc.
• Continuous tone: 670 Hz
• Intermittent tone: signal for 0.9 seconds, then a 0.9 second pause.

All the loop sirens on an Argina GMC+ addressable fire alarm control panel, including AR/SI-ad (103 dB) loop sirens, are synchronised automatically.

The tones sounded in given situations are programmed in the Argina GMC+ addressable fire alarm control panel. The address number is programmed remotely using an Argina LaserBox. The LaserBox can also test sirens in the same way as detectors are tested: if the siren and its communication with the control panel is in order, the siren sounds four short beeps at reduced volume.
