Read the full technical description
The S3-V-R is the red bodied voice 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 tones and spoken alarms without a visual alarm device.
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. S-Cubed voice sounders store four spoken messages and a bell tone. The female announcements cover emergency evacuation, awaiting instructions and a test; the male announcement is for fire alarm evacuation. Message 3 with Signal 1 and Message 5 with Signal 2 are approved to EN 54-3 Annex C. The message and attention tone period defaults to 10 seconds and can be set up to 30 seconds; audio and bell-tone storage is up to 20 seconds.
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-V-R 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-SR shallow base matches this red 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 voice sounders, the S3-CONTROL infrared remote selects tone, speech message 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
Which speech messages are stored in the S3-V-R, and which meet EN 54-3 Annex C?
S-Cubed voice sounders store four spoken messages and a bell tone. Message 1 is the bell tone. Message 2 is female emergency evacuation with Signal 3. Message 3 is a female announcement to await instructions, with Signal 1. Message 4 is a female test announcement. Message 5 is male fire alarm evacuation with Signal 2. The Message 3 and Signal 1 combination and the Message 5 and Signal 2 combination are approved to EN 54-3 Annex C.
Does the S3-V-R have a beacon, and what do I order if I need one?
The S3-V-R provides tones and spoken alarms without a visual alarm device. It meets EN 54-3 and EN 54-17 and has an integral short circuit isolator. The S3-V-VAD-HPR-R combines voice sounder functions with a High Power red beacon on a red body. The S3-V-W provides voice sounder functions on a white body without a beacon. This S3-V-R has a red body and stores four spoken messages and a bell tone, as well as providing three alarm tones.
How many S3-V-R can go on one Gent loop?
The approximate maximum for S-Cubed voice sounders is 200 per loop, or 160 when using the bell sound, 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 and loop in and loop out connections. The loop screen connects to the metal box earth. The S3-V-R has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17 and provides tones and spoken alarms.
What is the difference between the standard base and the S3-BASE-SR shallow base?
Supplied with a matching red standard base and one screw fitted in the base. The S3-BASE-SR is the optional red shallow base, supplied in packs of five, for a lower profile. Indoor S-Cubed devices have a 112mm square face and project 90mm from the wall on the standard base or 75mm on the shallow base. Leave at least 10cm below the ceiling when fitting a shallow base so that the locking screw remains accessible. A supplied self tapping screw secures the shallow base assembly. The red finish matches the S3-V-R body.
What does a speech circuit fault reported against an S3-V-R mean?
A speech circuit fault indicates a hardware problem in a device with spoken messages. Replace the affected device. Tone, stored message and volume are set during commissioning, and the S3-CONTROL infrared remote can also change these settings on site. Use the remote within 3m with the panel in test mode. Holding its power button saves the settings to the device; store any volume change at the control panel as well. The S3-V-R has four spoken messages and a bell tone, with no visual alarm device.
