Read the full technical description
The S3-V-W is the white 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-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 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
What is the difference between the S3-V-W and the S3-S-W?
The S3-V-W and S3-S-W are white bodied S-Cubed wall sounders with integral short circuit isolators. The S3-S-W provides three tone signals without spoken messages. The S3-V-W also stores four spoken messages and a bell tone. Across the indoor S-Cubed sounder range, the sounder rating is 103dB(A) +/-3dB at 90 degrees and 1m. Both models use loop power and provide audible alarms without a beacon. The optional S3-BASE-SW shallow base matches their white bodies and provides a lower profile.
Does the S3-V-W have a beacon, and what do I order if I need one?
The S3-V-W provides audible alarms without a beacon and meets EN 54-3 and EN 54-17. The S3-V-VAD-HPR-R combines a voice sounder with a High Power red visual alarm device on a red body. The S3-S-VAD-HPR-W combines a tone sounder with a red beacon on a white body, without spoken messages. This S3-V-W has a white body, four spoken messages and a bell tone, as well as three alarm tones. It also has an integral short circuit isolator.
Which spoken messages does the S3-V-W hold, and which are approved to 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.
What does a Gent panel fault reading speech circuit has failed mean on an S3-V-W?
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-W has four spoken messages and a bell tone, with no visual alarm device.
How many S3-V-W voice sounders can go on one 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-W has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17 and provides tones and spoken alarms.
