Coverage requires compliant operation, compatible panel software, installation within the category's maximum mounting height and minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux. For EN Vigilon 4-loop and 4-6-loop panels, EN 54-23 coverage requires MCC V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. For EN Vigilon Compact, it requires MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. On Nano, MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later support Low Power coverage only.
- Maximum VAD current and powerMaximum VAD loop current and power are 18mA and 630mW at High Power, 14mA and 490mW at Medium Power, and 8mA and 280mW at Low Power. Combined sounder/VAD maxima at High, Medium and Low are 23mA, 19mA and 13mA for Turbo, or 21mA, 17mA and 11mA for Non Turbo.
- Loop powered with an integral isolatorThe S3-S-VAD-HPR-W has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17. The indoor S-Cubed range uses a 35V to 48V loop supply and loop in/out connections.
- Indoor S-Cubed housing and base optionsThe indoor S-Cubed range is rated IP 21, with a 112mm square face and wall projection of 90mm on the standard base or 75mm on the optional shallow base. The S3-BASE-SW shallow base is white and comes in packs of five.
- S-Cubed tone and volume adjustmentFor S-Cubed sounders, the S3-CONTROL infrared remote selects tone and volume from up to 3m away while the panel is in test mode. Hold the remote's power button to store the device settings. After a volume adjustment, save the new level at the panel.

Read the full technical description
The S3-S-VAD-HPR-W is the white bodied tone sounder with a High Power red visual alarm device in Gent's S-Cubed Mark 3 range. It is loop powered and compatible with Gent Vigilon Plus, Compact Plus and Nano systems. It provides tone alarms without spoken messages.
S-Cubed sounders provide three LPCB approved signals: an intermittent 970Hz tone at 1Hz, alternating 730Hz and 970Hz tones at 2Hz, and a continuous 970Hz tone. Each tone frequency has a tolerance of +/-10%. The range sounder rating is 103dB(A) +/-3dB, measured at 90 degrees and 1m.
The High Power red VAD coverage is High: W-6.7-14, 1313 cubic metres; Medium: W-6.5-12.5, 1015 cubic metres; Low: W-5-9.5, 451 cubic metres. Coverage requires compliant operation, compatible panel software, installation within the category's maximum mounting height and minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux. For EN Vigilon 4-loop and 4-6-loop panels, EN 54-23 coverage requires MCC V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. For EN Vigilon Compact, it requires MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. On Nano, MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later support Low Power coverage only. The S-Cubed VAD flash interval is two seconds. Maximum VAD loop current and power are 18mA and 630mW at High Power, 14mA and 490mW at Medium Power, and 8mA and 280mW at Low Power. Combined sounder/VAD maxima at High, Medium and Low are 23mA, 19mA and 13mA for Turbo, or 21mA, 17mA and 11mA for Non Turbo.
The indoor S-Cubed range uses a 35V to 48V loop supply and loop in/out terminals 01, L1, 02 and L2; the loop screen connects to the metal box earth. The S3-S-VAD-HPR-W has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17. The indoor range is rated IP 21 for internal wall positions. Its body and lens are polycarbonate and the base is ABS. The indoor S-Cubed range has a 112mm square face and projects 90mm on the standard base or 75mm on an optional shallow base. The S3-BASE-SW shallow base matches this white body and comes in packs of five. Allow at least 10cm below the ceiling when fitting a shallow base so that the locking screw remains accessible. Keep the TOP mark facing upwards and the cable tails within 10cm. The base must remain surface mounted and the enclosure unpainted.
Changes to VAD settings on site use the Vigilon Commissioning Tool V1.32 or later with compatible loop software. For EN Vigilon 4-loop and 4-6-loop panels, EN 54-23 coverage requires MCC V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. For EN Vigilon Compact, it requires MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. On Nano, MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later support Low Power coverage only. The Nano Commissioning Tool is V3.0 or later. The device remains compatible with earlier panel software; certified coverage depends on the panel and loop versions above. For S-Cubed sounders, the S3-CONTROL infrared remote selects tone and volume from up to 3m away while the panel is in test mode. Hold the remote's power button to store the device settings. After a volume adjustment, save the new level at the panel. S-Cubed sounders and visual alarm devices synchronise across all loops of one panel; synchronisation does not extend across a network of panels.

FAQs
Is the lens on the S3-S-VAD-HPR-W white?
The lens is red and the body is white. HPR identifies the High Power red beacon, while the final W identifies the white enclosure, finished in RAL 9010. The S3-S-VAD-HPR-R combines the same alarm functions with a red body. Both have three alarm tones without speech, and both use the red-beacon coverage categories at High, Medium and Low settings. Changing the body colour does not change those categories. Each model also has an integral short circuit isolator.
What EN 54-23 coverage does the S3-S-VAD-HPR-W give?
At High Power, the category is W-6.7-14 with 1313 cubic metres of coverage; Medium gives W-6.5-12.5 and 1015 cubic metres; Low gives W-5-9.5 and 451 cubic metres. In W-x-y, x is the maximum mounting height and y is the maximum length and width, in metres. The minimum category value for x is 2.4m and coverage uses a minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux. Certified coverage requires compliant operation and compatible panel and loop software. Nano supports the Low Power setting only.
Does the S3-S-VAD-HPR-W play spoken messages?
This model provides three alarm tones and no spoken messages: intermittent 970Hz at 1Hz, alternating 730Hz and 970Hz at 2Hz, and continuous 970Hz. It combines these tones with a High Power red beacon on a white body. The S3-V-W is a white bodied voice sounder with spoken messages and no beacon. The S3-S-VAD-HPR-W provides tone alarms and a red visual alarm from one white enclosure. It is loop powered and also has an integral short circuit isolator.
How many S3-S-VAD-HPR-W units can go on one loop?
The approximate maximum quantities for S-Cubed High Power sounder and VAD devices are 38 at High Power, 47 at Medium Power and 72 at Low Power, dependent on loop load. Maximum beacon currents are 18mA, 14mA and 8mA at those respective settings. The sounder maximum is 5mA for Turbo or 3mA for Non Turbo. Use the Gent Battery Standby and Loop Load Calculator for system design. The selected beacon setting changes both coverage and maximum current.
How does the S3-S-VAD-HPR-W flash, and how are tone and volume set?
The beacon flashes every two seconds, or 0.5Hz. Its three alarm tones are intermittent 970Hz at 1Hz, alternating 730Hz and 970Hz at 2Hz, and continuous 970Hz. Across the S-Cubed sounder range, tone and volume can be adjusted with the commissioning tool or S3-CONTROL infrared remote. Remote adjustment requires the panel to be in test mode and has a maximum range of 3m. Save the adjusted volume at the panel. This model combines the tone sounder, beacon and integral short circuit isolator.
