Technical overview
The Gent S3-S-W is a wall-mounted S-Cubed Mark 3 Type A sounder with a white body, designed for use in compatible GENT Vigilon fire alarm systems. It operates at 35V to 48V and delivers a sound level of 103dB(A) +/-3dB at 1m with selectable tones, including LPCB-approved intermittent and alternating signals. The device is housed in a V2-rated polycarbonate body with an ABS base, providing durability and flame resistance.
Ingress protection is rated IP21, and it functions within an ambient operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C, with storage from -20°C to +70°C. The sounder complies with EN54-3:2001, A1:2002, A2:2006 for sounder performance and EN54-17:2005 for short-circuit isolator functionality. It supports IR remote volume control via the S3-CONTROL accessory, effective up to 3m. Compatible with S3-BASE-SW and S3-BASE-SR programmable shallow bases (sold separately), it mounts on flat walls or metal boxes at least 10cm below the ceiling. Wiring details are specified in the installation manual.
