1.0 Installation
1.1 Accessing The Unit
INS154-7 4/17
1.2 Mounting the Unit
Select a suitable position to mount the unit, which satisfies the following criteria:
Highly prominent for maximum deterrence1.
Additional shelter (e.g. under the eaves) is an advantage2.
High enough to be out of normal reach to deter tampering3.
Safe ladder access4.
Good cable access5.
In addition to the corner screw fixing points, the unit also has a central
keyhole to simplify mounting and aid levelling.
Four screws and wall plugs are required for mounting the backplate to an even
surface. An additional screw may be required to provide wall tamper by fitting
through the screw hole next to the dual tamper microswitch. In doing so, care must
be taken to leave the screw head slightly proud to ensure that the microswitch
remains level and closes correctly when the outer cover is fitted.
N For maximum weatherproofing the unit should be flat to the wall.
1.3 Adjusting Tamper Sensitivity
Some Texecom external sounder models now include a patented* tamper
adjustment feature. If greater wall/lid tamper sensitivity is required, the
microswitch position can be adjusted by loosening the locking screw and altering
the orientation of the microswitch as shown.

1.4 Wiring The Unit
Connect the unit to the control panel as follows:
A (12V) Permanent
Positive Supply
B (BELL) Negative
Applied Output to Activate Siren
C (TAMP) Negative
Removed on Tamper Input
D (0V) Permanent
Negative Supply
S (STRB) Negative Applied
Output to Activate Strobe
T (Test)* Test input for enabling
remote test via Maintex or Wintex, or any
supporting panel.
Tamper Relay* Negative Removed on
Tamper Input, and reports Tamper when
there is a power loss to the sounder. (
Fault Relay* Reports Faults from
the sounder
N * Premier Elite Sounders only
For safety reasons, each Texecom sounder and strobe unit incorporates a unique
patented engineer Hold‑Off mode. This mode prevents the unit from self-activating
during installation and maintenance, thereby allowing only bona fide engineers
INS154-7 6/17
access to the unit without any loss of tamper protection.
When connecting the unit to the control panel, it is recommended that wiring
should be connected to the unit first and the control panel second. The unit
should then be initially powered from the control panel. If the tamper circuit is
open the siren will sound for 5 seconds after which it will automatically enter Hold-
Off mode and disable Self-Activate (S/A) on tamper. This will prevent the unit from
self-activating as long as the tamper circuit remains open. An open tamper circuit
is indicated by only the left‑hand side LED flashing. Connect the battery either
using the jumper included on some models or by moving the red battery wire from
the “N/C” (No Connect) terminal to the “Battery +” terminal. Fit the outer cover
and secure with the M6 screw(s) provided.
When the outer cover is replaced and the tamper circuit is closed, the LEDs will
alternate rapidly, confirming that the tamper circuit is secure and signalling that
S/A on tamper will be re-enabled within 2 minutes, after which the LEDs will
alternate slowly to signal normal operation. If the tamper circuit is re-opened
within the 2 minute period, then Hold-Off mode will be restored.
N If the unit is powered up with the tamper circuit closed it will NOT sound for 5
seconds and will NOT enter Hold-Off mode. In order to disable the S/A function,
before the cover is removed, Hold-Off mode should be invoked as for servicing
(see Section 0).
N For safety reasons the strobe is disabled during Hold-Off mode. Hold-Off
mode is immediately cancelled when the sounder is activated from the control
panel.
1.5 Grade 3 Wiring
To meet the requirements of EN50131-1 & EN50131-4 additional wiring is required
at Grade 3 to monitor the status of the battery, the supply voltage and the
integrity of the trigger wire. The two diagrams below show wiring configurations for
Texecom control panels, and other manufacturers. Please check the Control Panel
installation manual for any programming requirements relating to Grade 3
installations.
INS154-7 7/17
N To comply with EN50131 requirements at Grade 3 the bell trigger should be
pulled high by the control equipment. When connecting to some third party
systems, or using a relay output a 1kΩ resistor should be connected between the
bell trigger and the positive supply at the control panel.
Test Input
The test input can be used to invoke a remote sounder test, this performs the
same functions as the self test which is carried out once every 24 hours. To invoke
the test the input must be placed at 0V for a minimum of 60s, during this time the
Fault relay will open to signal the test is in progress. On completion of a successful
test the Fault relay will close, if the test fails the relay will stay open.
Optional “Battery First” Connection Method
Hold-Off mode automatically cancels when both the tamper circuit is closed and
power is supplied from the control panel. This allows installation engineers to
power the unit from the internal battery and fit the outer cover, knowing that the
unit cannot self‑activate until after power has been supplied from the control
panel.
N If the tamper circuit is closed and the unit is powered by the battery
only, the right LED will flash quickly to signal that the unit cannot
self‑activate until power has been supplied from the control panel.
! Prolonged “battery first” connection without power from the control
panel may cause permanent damage to the internal battery. Texecom
INS154-7 8/17
recommend that the unit is initially powered on battery only for no longer
than 24 hours.
1.6 Installing Multiple Units
The following diagram illustrates how to wire multiple units together:
If the first unit is opened it will self-activate and a tamper will be signalled to the
control panel. If the second unit is opened both units will self-activate and a
tamper will be signalled to the control panel.
If more than one unit is connected to an installation, the current demand may
exceed the rated current output of the control panel. This can be avoided by
selecting Low Current (LC) or SCB mode on one or more of the connected units.
Low Current Mode
Low current mode* allows the sounder current draw from the control panel to be
reduced whilst maintaining significant alarm volume. To select low current mode,
ensure the SAB/SCB jumper is in the SAB position and move the LC jumper to the
Low Current on position. Details on current draw can be found in the technical
specification (section 4).
* Not available on all models
SCB Mode
In SCB mode the unit draws the majority of its sounding current from the built-in
INS154-7 9/17
battery rather than from the control panel. Although volume is somewhat reduced,
lowering the current demand on the control panel will enable the connection of
additional sounder units.
To select SCB Mode, the unit should first be powered from the built-in battery by
either using the jumper included on some models or by connecting the red battery
wire from the “N/C” (No Connect) terminal to the “Battery +” terminal. The unit
will automatically enter Hold-Off mode to disable Self-Activate (S/A) on tamper, this
will prevent the unit from self‑activating until both the tamper circuit is closed and
power is supplied from the control panel. Move the SAB/SCB jumper to the SCB
position before the unit is connected to the control panel.
N If the tamper circuit is closed and the unit is powered by the battery
only, the right LED will flash quickly to signal that the unit cannot
self‑activate until power has been supplied from the control panel.
N When selecting SCB mode the battery must be connected before power
is supplied from the control panel. If a unit is powered from a control panel
with SCB mode selected but without the battery connected, the unit will not
operate correctly due to the lack of power provided.
N The built-in battery will only be partially charged on delivery.
1.7 Commissioning
Most control panels have a method of testing the siren and strobe, which should be
utilised for final testing. Failing this, simply arm the system and cause an alarm to
confirm correct operation. Temporarily disconnect the positive supply to the unit at
the control panel to confirm that the sounder self-activates.
N The strobe does not self-activate.
N Some control panels have an option to select the sounder cut-off time.
The unit will sound for either 15 minutes or for the panel cut-off time,
whichever is the shorter.

2.0 Servicing
Most control panels have a method of testing the siren and strobe, which should be

operation. Temporarily disconnect the positive supply to the unit at the control
panel to confirm that the sounder self-activates.
N The strobe does not self-activate.
N Some control panels have an option to select the sounder cut-off time.
The unit will sound for either 15 minutes or for the panel cut-off time,
whichever is the shorter.
For safety reasons if it is necessary to inspect the unit, the Self-Activate (S/A)
function should be disabled before the cover is opened or remote power removed.
This is achieved by using the unit’s unique patented engineer Hold-Off mode. This
is invoked by activating and de-activating the strobe three times within 30
seconds. Most control panels have a method of testing the strobe, which should be
utilised. Failing this the strobe can be manually activated by connecting the S
(STRB) wire to 0V at the control panel. Hold‑Off mode is shown to be active with
the tamper circuit secure by the right LED only flashing.
If the tamper circuit is not opened or remote power not removed, then Hold-Off
mode will automatically start to cancel after 15 minutes, indicated by the LEDs
alternating rapidly to signal that S/A on tamper and remote power loss will be re-
enabled within a further 2 minutes.
Once the outer cover is removed the left LED only will flash to indicate that the
tamper circuit is open. If remote power is removed, and the tamper circuit is left
closed, the right LED with flash rapidly to indicate that the unit is on standby
battery power.
When the tamper circuit is closed or remote power re-applied, the LEDs will
alternate rapidly, confirming that the tamper circuit is secure, remote power is
