2. Prepare the electrical box or mounting surface according to standard practices.
3. Secure the device's mounting plate (if applicable) to the electrical box or surface.
4. Ensure the device is securely fastened and flush with the mounting surface.

3.2 Pendawaian

Wiring must be performed with power disconnected from the FACP. The GX93-W supports 12 AWG to 18 AWG wires. Observe proper polarity.

1. Connect the positive (+) wire from the FACP or power supply to the positive terminal on the GX93-W.
2. Connect the negative (-) wire from the FACP or power supply to the negative terminal on the GX93-W.
3. If using a synchronization module (e.g., Gentex GX91/GX93), refer to the synchronization module's manual for specific wiring instructions.
4. Pastikan semua sambungan selamat dan terlindung dengan betul.

3.3 Jldtage and Tone Selection

The GX93-W allows for field selection of operating voltage (12VDC or 24VDC) and tone type (temporal or continuous). Consult the device's internal jumpers or switches for configuration. Refer to the markings on the device for specific settings.

4. Operasi

The Gentex GX93-W mini-horn functions as an audible signaling device within a supervised fire alarm system. When activated by the FACP, it will emit an audible tone according to its configured settings (temporal or continuous).

• Temporal 3 Tone: This is a specific pattern of three short bursts followed by a pause, commonly used for fire evacuation signals. Note that the sound output rating for temporal 3 tone is averaged, meaning the peak sound pressure during the tone burst is higher than the stated average.
• Continuous Tone: A steady, uninterrupted audible signal.
• Penyegerakan: If connected to a compatible synchronization module, multiple GX93 Series horns will activate in a synchronized pattern.

5. Penyelenggaraan

Regular maintenance ensures the continued reliable operation of your GX93-W mini-horn.

If the GX93-W mini-horn is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Tiada Bunyi:
  • Check power supply to the FACP and the device.
  • Verify wiring connections for proper polarity and secure contact.
  • Ensure the FACP is activating the signaling circuit.
  • Sahkan voltage selection (12VDC or 24VDC) matches the power supply.
• Incorrect Tone:
  • Verify the tone selection settings (temporal or continuous) on the device.
  • If using a synchronization module, ensure it is correctly configured and functioning.
• Operasi sekejap:
  • Inspect wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation.
