- High Power red beacon without a sounderThe red flash and red body form a visual alarm device without a sounder, tone signals or spoken messages.
- Three EN 54-23 coverage settingsHigh: W-6.7-14, 1313 cubic metres; Medium: W-6.5-12.5, 1015 cubic metres; Low: W-5-9.5, 451 cubic metres. Coverage requires compliant operation, compatible panel software, installation within the category's maximum mounting height and minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux. For EN Vigilon 4-loop and 4-6-loop panels, EN 54-23 coverage requires MCC V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. For EN Vigilon Compact, it requires MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. On Nano, MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later support Low Power coverage only.

- Loop powered with an integral isolatorThe S3-VAD-HPR-R has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17. The indoor S-Cubed range uses a 35V to 48V loop supply and loop in/out connections.
- Indoor S-Cubed housing and base optionsThe indoor S-Cubed range is rated IP 21, with a 112mm square face and wall projection of 90mm on the standard base or 75mm on the optional shallow base. The S3-BASE-SR shallow base is red and comes in packs of five.
- Flash interval and synchronisationThe S-Cubed VAD flash interval is two seconds. S-Cubed sounders and VADs synchronise across all loops of one panel; synchronisation does not extend across a network of panels.

The S3-VAD-HPR-R is the red bodied visual alarm device with a High Power red flash 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 a visual alarm without tones or speech.
The High Power red VAD coverage is High: W-6.7-14, 1313 cubic metres; Medium: W-6.5-12.5, 1015 cubic metres; Low: W-5-9.5, 451 cubic metres. Coverage requires compliant operation, compatible panel software, installation within the category's maximum mounting height and minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux. For EN Vigilon 4-loop and 4-6-loop panels, EN 54-23 coverage requires MCC V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. For EN Vigilon Compact, it requires MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. On Nano, MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later support Low Power coverage only. The S-Cubed VAD flash interval is two seconds. Maximum VAD loop current and power are 18mA and 630mW at High Power, 14mA and 490mW at Medium Power, and 8mA and 280mW at Low Power.
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-VAD-HPR-R has an integral short circuit isolator meeting EN 54-17. The indoor range is rated IP 21 for internal wall positions. Its body and lens are 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.
Changes to VAD settings on site use the Vigilon Commissioning Tool V1.32 or later with compatible loop software. For EN Vigilon 4-loop and 4-6-loop panels, EN 54-23 coverage requires MCC V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. For EN Vigilon Compact, it requires MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. On Nano, MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later support Low Power coverage only. The Nano Commissioning Tool is V3.0 or later. The device remains compatible with earlier panel software; certified coverage depends on the panel and loop versions above. 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-VAD-HPR-R make a sound as well as flash?
The S3-VAD-HPR-R provides a visual alarm without a sounder, tone signals or spoken messages. Its lens and body are both red, and it is a High Power model in the S-Cubed Mark 3 range. The S-Cubed VAD flash interval is two seconds. The S3-S-VAD-HPR-R combines a red beacon with a tone sounder on a red body. The S3-V-VAD-HPR-R combines a red beacon with voice sounder functions, including four spoken messages and a bell tone, on a red body.
How many S3-VAD-HPR-R can go on one Gent loop, and what does each one draw?
The approximate maximum quantities for S-Cubed VAD-only devices are 44 per loop at High Power, 57 at Medium Power and 100 at Low Power, dependent on loop load. Maximum VAD current and power are 18mA and 630mW at High, 14mA and 490mW at Medium, and 8mA and 280mW at Low. The indoor S-Cubed range uses a 35V to 48V loop supply. Use the Gent Battery Standby and Loop Load Calculator for system design. This model also has an integral isolator.
Will the S3-VAD-HPR-R work on older panel software, or on a Gent Nano?
The device remains compatible with earlier panel software, while certified coverage depends on the panel and loop versions. EN Vigilon four-loop, Compact and four-to-six-loop panels require MCC or MCB V4.52 or later and LPC V4.48 or later. Nano requires MCB V3.12 or later and LP V1.08 or later, supporting Low Power coverage of W-5-9.5 and 451 cubic metres. Coverage requires compliant operation, installation within the category's maximum mounting height and minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux.
Do I need to order a base with the S3-VAD-HPR-R?
Supplied with a matching red standard base and one screw fitted in the base. The optional red S3-BASE-SR shallow base comes in packs of five and provides a lower profile. The indoor S-Cubed range has a 112mm square face and projects 90mm from the wall on the standard base or 75mm on the shallow base. Indoor S-Cubed VADs weigh 293g with the deep base or 271g with the shallow base. Leave at least 10cm below the ceiling for access to the shallow base locking screw.
What flash rate and coverage does the S3-VAD-HPR-R provide?
The S-Cubed VAD flash interval is two seconds, or 0.5Hz. This High Power red VAD provides W-6.7-14 and 1313 cubic metres at High, W-6.5-12.5 and 1015 cubic metres at Medium, or W-5-9.5 and 451 cubic metres at Low. Coverage requires compliant operation, compatible panel software, installation within the category's maximum mounting height and minimum effective illuminance of 0.4 lux. The power setting is selected during commissioning. This model provides visual alarms without tones or speech and has an integral short circuit isolator.
