UL Fire Alarm Certifications
The audible sounder models that are powered using 24 Vdc input are Listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for use in fire alarm applications. The 120 Vac
and 230 Vac inputs have not been evaluated. These models have the following
nomenclature:
G-SND-MV-D, G-SND-MV-D, G-SND-MV-T, and G-SND-024-E. They have an
electrical rating of 515 mA maximum at 24 regulated voltage Vdc (16 Vdc to 33
Vdc).
NOTE: UL only evaluated this product to the stated operational voltage range. It was
not evaluated to 80% to 110%. of the voltage range.
The sounder is factory-set with the tone selector switch set to the
No. 12 setting. This is a constant 1 kHz tone. This is the only tone setting that
has been evaluated for fire alarm applications. At this tone the sounder has a
sound pressure level of 79.0 dB. See Figure 9 for the dispersion characteristics.
The units can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and have no mounting orientation
restriction. For specific installation and wiring requirements, refer to local codes
such as the National Code (NFPA70) and the National Fire Alarm and Signaling
Code (NFPA72).
