Overview
What it is and how it fits the system.
The Gent S3-V-VAD-HPR-R is a wall-mounted S-Cubed Mark 3 Type A device combining a voice sounder with a high-performance red visual alarm device on a red body, for compatible GENT Vigilon fire alarm systems. Rated IP21 and operating at 35-48V, it is built from a V2-rated polycarbonate body and lens on an ABS base and weighs 293g with deep base.
Technical overview
S3-V-VAD-HPR-R is a wall-mounted S-Cubed Mark 3 Type A device combining a voice sounder with a high-performance red visual alarm device on a red body, designed for compatible GENT Vigilon fire alarm systems. It operates within a voltage range of 35V to 48V and achieves an IP21 ingress protection rating, helping to ensure suitability for indoor environments with limited moisture exposure. The unit functions across an ambient operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C and can be stored between -20°C and +70°C.
Constructed from a V2-rated polycarbonate body and lens on an ABS base, the device weighs 293g with the deep base configuration. It delivers a sound level of 103dB(A) ±3dB at 1m for the sounder function and features a visual alarm device with a pulsed flash output every 2 seconds. The unit supports three programmable tone signals, including intermittent, alternating, and continuous high tones, with LPCB approval for the marked signals, and includes a bell tone speech message. Compatibility extends to GENT Vigilon systems, remote control for volume adjustment, and optional shallow or deep base mounting configurations. It supersedes the S3-VP-ST-RR model.
