Description
The Gent S2IP-SN-W3 is a white backwards compatible wall sounder that replaces the 34203 three-way sounder. It is a loop-powered addressable device in the System range. It comes with the sounder front, deep base, six-way terminal block with connecting wires, base gasket and circular wall gasket. Its three-way wiring has separate loop input, loop output and common-line connections to a spur. The terminal block fits inside the back of the base, with an earth continuity strap retained in the base. The System range provides audible alarms without a strobe option. Mount the sounder with TOP uppermost and keep the transparent PCB cover in place.
The S2IP-SN-W3 is the white Gent System range sounder for replacing a 34203 three-way sounder. It is supplied with the sounder front, deep base, wired six-way terminal block, base gasket and circular wall gasket for retrofit installation. The S2IP-SN-R3 provides the red colour alternative.
Read the full technical description
The S2IP-SN-W3 is the white Gent System range sounder for replacing a 34203 three-way sounder. It is supplied with the sounder front, deep base, wired six-way terminal block, base gasket and circular wall gasket for retrofit installation. The S2IP-SN-R3 provides the red colour alternative.
The three-way connection comprises loop input, loop output and a common line to a spur. Loop input connects at L1 and 01, loop output at L2 and 02, and the common line at LC and 0C. The supplied terminal block sits inside the back of the base. The sounder takes its power from the addressable device loop.
System range sounders use a deep base and have no strobe option. Mount the device with TOP uppermost, retain the transparent PCB cover and keep the earth continuity strap in the base. Do not flush mount the base or paint the enclosure. Cable tails at the connection point must be no longer than 10cm.
Set the sounder volume during commissioning and verify the setting after configuration. Sound outputs in this addressable sounder range are synchronised on the same fire panel.

FAQs
What does the S2IP-SN-W3 replace?
The S2IP-SN-W3 replaces the 34203 three-way sounder and is the white version of the Gent System range retrofit sounder. It has a loop input, loop output and common-line connection to a spur. A six-way terminal block is supplied for the retrofit wiring and fits inside the back of the base. The S2IP-SN-R3 is the red version for the same replacement role. The System range uses a deep base and provides sound without a strobe option.
How are the three-way connections arranged on the S2IP-SN-W3?
Loop input connects to L1 and 01, loop output to L2 and 02, and the common line to a spur uses LC and 0C. These are the three circuit connections of the sounder. The six-way terminal block supplied for retrofit work sits inside the back of the base and connects the existing circuit wiring to the main assembly. Retain the earth continuity strap in the base and the transparent cover over the PCB when assembling the device.
What mounting arrangement does the S2IP-SN-W3 use?
The S2IP-SN-W3 belongs to the System range, which uses a deep base. The retrofit terminal block is placed inside the back of that base. Mount the sounder with TOP uppermost, keep the transparent cover over the PCB and retain the earth continuity strap. Do not flush mount the base or paint the enclosure. At the cable entry, leave no more than 10cm of tail wire for the terminal connections before closing the main assembly onto the base.
Does the S2IP-SN-W3 provide a flashing alarm?
The S2IP-SN-W3 is a sounder, and the Gent System range has no strobe option. Its white body is the enclosure colour. The S2IP-SN-R3 changes that body colour to red while retaining the three-way sounder replacement role. Both versions are retrofit sounders with a six-way terminal block, loop input, loop output and a common line to a spur. Sound outputs in this addressable sounder range are synchronised on the same fire panel, with volume set during commissioning.
What commissioning checks apply to the S2IP-SN-W3?
Set the sounder volume during commissioning and verify that it is correctly set after configuration. This applies to both the white S2IP-SN-W3 and its red alternative, S2IP-SN-R3. The commissioning settings determine the installed sounder volume, while the device connects through its loop input, loop output and common-line spur terminals. The System range provides audible alarms without a strobe option. Its sound outputs are synchronised with the addressable sounder range on the same fire panel.
