Overview
What it is and how it fits the system.
The Gent S4M-S is the S4M Sounder, a ceiling-mounted audio device in the S-Quad S4M AV range providing sounder functionality without detection technology for areas requiring audible alarm devices. It operates on a 35V-48V loop, drawing 2mA in non-Turbo mode and 4.5mA in Turbo mode, and supports up to 200 devices per loop in non-Turbo. The 117mm-diameter head weighs 145g.
Technical overview
The S4M-S is a ceiling-mounted sounder from Gent by Honeywell, defined as a sounder-only device without detection technology. It provides audible alarm functionality for areas requiring sound-based alerts, operating on a 35V-48V loop with a current draw of 2mA in non-Turbo mode and up to 4.5mA in Turbo mode. The device supports a maximum of 200 units per loop in non-Turbo configuration, making it suitable for medium-scale fire alarm systems where detection is handled separately.
Physically, the S4M-S features a 117mm diameter head with a height of 63mm, increasing to 74mm when mounted on its standard base. The head weighs 145g, rising to 205g with the base included. It is finished in white (RAL 9010) and rated for operation in ambient temperatures from -10°C to +50°C, with storage tolerable between -20°C and +70°C. The unit meets IP21C ingress protection and functions in relative humidity up to 95% non-condensing within +5°C to +45°C.
Compatibility is specified for use with Vigilon 4 Loop/Vigilon Compact (MCC ≥ 4.61) and Vigilon 1-6 Loop (LPC ≥ 4.54) systems, requiring the S4-700 base for installation. Additional accessories include the S4-705 White IP21C plate, removal tool kit (805580), and label plates (805576). The device holds LPCB approval, confirming its compliance with relevant fire safety standards. Physical wiring details are referenced in the installation manual.
