The S4M-VAD-LPR provides a Standard Power red visual alarm in the S-Quad S4M AV family. Its function marking is RVAD/LP. This is the VAD-only model within the AV range, which provides alarm warning without smoke or heat detection. The white head is supplied with an orange dust cover.
The S4M Standard Power VAD range has C-3-10 coverage, a cylindrical volume of 235.6m³ with a maximum mounting height of 3m and a diameter of 10m. The S4M VAD range uses a two-second flash interval for EN54-23 coverage.
The S4M range plugs into the S4-700 base, mounted on a metal back box with earth continuity maintained around the loop. Loop wiring uses screened two-core fire-rated cable with conductors from 1.5mm² to 2.5mm². The base provides the connection between the head and the panel loop.
The S4M range works with Vigilon and Vigilon Compact systems fitted with current EN54 loop cards. These AV-only models need MCC/MCB software 4.64 or later, LPC software 4.58 or later and commissioning tool 1.40 or later. S4M outputs need a sector assignment and their output functions configured during commissioning.
The S4M AV range has a white RAL 9010 housing, a head diameter of 117mm and a head height of 63mm. S4M environmental limits are IP21C, -10°C to +50°C in operation and -20°C to +70°C in storage, with up to 95% non-condensing relative humidity at +5°C to +45°C. Use the Battery Standby and Loop Load calculator for loop loading, cable length and standby requirements.

FAQs
How does S4M-VAD-LPR differ from the other S4M AV heads?
The S4M-VAD-LPR is the Standard Power red VAD-only model, identified by its RVAD/LP marking. The S4M-S provides sounder-only output, while S4M-V-VAD-LPR combines voice sounder output with a Standard Power red VAD. These are members of the S-Quad S4M AV range, which provides alarm warning without smoke or heat detection. The S4M-VAD-LPR fits the S4-700 ceiling base and receives power through the loop connection. Its warning function is the red visual alarm.
What does the S4M Standard Power VAD coverage code mean?
The S4M Standard Power VAD range has C-3-10 coverage: a cylinder with a maximum mounting height of 3m and a diameter of 10m. That corresponds to a volume of 235.6m³. The S4M VAD range uses a flash every two seconds for EN54-23 coverage. For S4M-VAD-LPR, commissioning requires controller software 4.64 or later, LPC software 4.58 or later and commissioning tool 1.40 or later. The C category describes the coverage geometry for a ceiling mounted visual alarm.
What is supplied, and how is the S4M-VAD-LPR mounted?
The S4M-VAD-LPR is supplied as a white VAD head with an orange dust cover and fits the S4-700 base for ceiling mounting. Across the S4M range, the base is mounted on a metal back box with earth continuity maintained around the loop. The loop uses screened two-core fire-rated cable with conductors between 1.5mm² and 2.5mm². The base connects the head to the panel loop. The optional 805576 label plate carries location information at the base.
What software and setup does the S4M-VAD-LPR need?
The S4M-VAD-LPR needs MCC/MCB software 4.64 or later, LPC software 4.58 or later and commissioning tool 1.40 or later. The S4M range works with Vigilon and Vigilon Compact systems fitted with current EN54 loop cards. S4M output devices need a sector assignment and their output functions configured during commissioning. On this model the alarm function is a Standard Power red VAD. The S4M VAD range uses a two-second flash interval for EN54-23 coverage, with loop loading included in the system design.
How do I include the S4M-VAD-LPR in the loop calculator?
Use the Battery Standby and Loop Load calculator to account for the S4M-VAD-LPR and the other devices on its loop. The calculation covers loop loading, cable length and the required battery standby. If S4M VAD options are hidden, open the File menu, choose Loop View Settings, enable the device types needed and apply the selection. The calculator then displays those device types for selection. S4M range heads take their power from the loop through their mounting bases.
