Description
The ZPW766R Wall Mount Visual Alarm Sounder is a ZP7 series, Ziton protocol addressable RED sounder with a built in visual alarm device (VAD), the latter approved for wall mount applications. The VAD features a clear lens with red LED element. The ZPW766R Wall Mount Visual Alarm Sounder incorporates a switch setting allowing it to be assigned a unique address on a Ziton fire panel loop.
With its durable design, high sound output and VAD designed for installation up to a height of 2.4 m, the ZPW766 ensures reliability and is suitable for a variety of indoor open areas where there is higher than normal background noise, whilst the unique lens design of the VAD distributes light evenly over the selected surface area.
Sounder And VAD Combinations
Disability legislation increasingly requires visual alarm signals to be used to ensure equal response from people with hearing impairment. The ZPW766 is perfectly suited for this application, providing synchronized audible and visual warnings from a single, loop wired unit. It minimizes the number of installation points required in a building, significantly lowering the investment value of equipment and loop wiring costs. Installation time costs are further reduced as the device connects directly into a first fix base.
Current Consumption And System Loads
High efficiency acoustic design and a low current VAD enables multiple ZPW766 devices to be connected to a fire panel loop. Depending on system requirements the ZPW766 may be set to use less power, both in sound as well as VAD output. When coverage areas are small (less than 7.5 m radius), reducing the required range minimizes the system current load. The flash frequency may also be set to 0.5 Hz (1 flash every 2 seconds) instead of 1 Hz (1 flash every second) in instances where consumption needs to be further reduced.
In systems where loop lengths or current requirements are excessive, the ZPW766 may be powered from an external, EN54:4 approved power supply that will automatically be supervised by the ZPW766.
