The S3-S-W is the white bodied tone sounder 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 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-W has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17. The indoor range is rated IP 21 for internal wall positions. Its body is 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.
Vigilon commissioning uses the Vigilon Commissioning Tool V1.30 or later. 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
Does the S3-S-W have a beacon or spoken messages?
The S3-S-W provides tone alarms without a beacon or spoken messages. Its sounder meets EN 54-3 and its integral short circuit isolator meets EN 54-17. The S3-S-VAD-HPR-W combines a tone sounder with a High Power red beacon on a white body. The S3-V-W is a white bodied voice sounder with four spoken messages and a bell tone. The S3-S-W provides three alarm tones in a white enclosure, RAL 9010, for indoor positions on internal walls.
Do I need the S3-BASE-SW shallow base with the S3-S-W?
Supplied with a matching white standard base and one screw fitted in the base. The S3-BASE-SW is an optional white shallow base, supplied in packs of five, that matches the S3-S-W body. Indoor S-Cubed devices project 90mm from the wall on the standard base or 75mm with the shallow base. Mount the shallow base on a flat wall or metal box, leaving at least 10cm below the ceiling for access to the locking screw. Keep the TOP mark facing upwards and limit the cable tails to 10cm. The shallow base provides a lower profile.
How are the tone and the volume set on the S3-S-W?
Across the S-Cubed sounder range, tone and volume can be set using the commissioning tool or the S3-CONTROL infrared remote. Use the remote within 3m while the panel is in test mode. Its function button switches between volume adjustment and tone selection; the plus and minus buttons change the selected value. Hold the power button to store the device settings, and save an adjusted volume at the panel as well. The S3-S-W provides intermittent, alternating and continuous tones.
What is the difference between the S3-S-W and the S3-S-R?
The S3-S-W has a white body, RAL 9010, while the S3-S-R has a red body, RAL 3020. Both provide three alarm tones without speech or a beacon, and both have integral short circuit isolators. Each meets EN 54-3 and EN 54-17. Their indoor S-Cubed housing has a 112mm square face and projects 90mm on the standard base or 75mm on a shallow base. The optional S3-BASE-SW shallow base matches the white S3-S-W and comes in packs of five.
How many S3-S-W sounders can go on one loop?
The approximate maximum for S-Cubed standard tone sounders is 200 per loop, dependent on loop load. Use the Gent Battery Standby and Loop Load Calculator for system design. The indoor S-Cubed range uses a 35V to 48V loop supply, with loop in and loop out connections and the loop screen connected to the metal box earth. The S3-S-W has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17. This model provides three tones, without speech or a beacon.

Gent builds the EP sounder in a RED body only - there is no white-bodied EP sounder in any source held - so it is a like-for-like function swap, not a like-for-like finish swap.
