Description

The Xtratone Addressable Sounder and Visual Alarm Device (VAD), supplied by Eurofyre, is a compact, high-output unit designed for modern fire detection systems. This device seamlessly integrates both an audible sounder and a visual alarm, making it suitable for indoor wall-mounted applications. It boasts an “electronics free” first-fit design, allowing for simple installation by wiring directly to a back box, and supports both surface and flush mounting options.

Key features of the Xtratone include a powerful sound output reaching 100dB at 1 metre, alongside adjustable flash rates that range from 0.33Hz to 1.5Hz. The unit offers a selection of 16 different alarm tones, which can be chosen directly from the control panel, with specific tones (0 and 8) being officially approved. Housed in a UL V0 flame-retardant ABS enclosure, it is available in either a red or white finish, both featuring a clear flash.

From a technical perspective, the Xtratone operates within a voltage range of 17-28V DC, drawing a quiescent current of 1.5mA and an alarm current between 18-43mA. It maintains an IP21C rating and is built to function reliably in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +55°C. Device addressing can be accomplished either manually via an 8-way dip switch or digitally using a Handheld Programmer.

Measuring 105mm x 105mm x 56mm (or 89mm with a back box) and weighing 210g, the Xtratone provides a discreet yet robust solution for ensuring comprehensive fire safety in various environments.
