Fike Sounders

Fike sounders give the audible warning in a fire alarm system, and some add a strobe for a visual one. This page covers TWINFLEX two-wire sounders such as the Hatari and Hipoint, Sita sounders with an inbuilt short circuit isolator, a Sita sounder/strobe for the loop, NS100 conventional sounders and NSF100 sounder strobes, and the TwinflexPro² 604-0008 eight-zone kit with seven Multipoint ASD detectors.

Choosing Fike Sounders

Match the sounder to the panel and wiring it will join, then choose the output and whether a strobe is needed.

TWINFLEX two-wire sounders

The Hatari 302-0002 is a white standalone sounder with a selectable output level, a limit of six per zone, a bayonet lock and an anti-tamper feature, and it is designed to comply with EN54 part 3. The Hipoint 302-0004 is a 2-wire zone-powered IP55 horn sounder for indoor and outdoor use, with 90dB output, three sound patterns and an end of line set by DIL switch. The Hipoint is supplied complete with back box and flush adaptor plate.

Sita sounders

The Sita 323-0001 gives 87dB with seven sound patterns and suits indoor (IP21) and outdoor (IP55) use, while the 326-0001 low profile sounder and the 326-0003 give 88dB with three patterns; all three have an inbuilt short circuit isolator. The 326/0021-R sounder/strobe is an addressable unit that attaches to the loop, adds a red lens visual indicator and is only compatible with Sita 200+, Duonet and Quadnet control panels.

NS100 and NSF100 conventional range

The NS100R-S and NS100R-D are EN54-approved conventional sounders with first fix installation, a 12 to 56Vdc operating voltage, 32 alarm tones and a two-stage alarm option; the NS100R-D adds an IP65 rated deep mounting base. The NSF100R-W-D and NSF100R-W-S combine a sounder with a visual alarm, a strobe or VAD, in one unit and are approved to EN54-3 and EN54-23.

Starter kit

The TwinflexPro² 604-0008 kit pairs an 8-zone two-wire control panel with seven Multipoint ASD detectors with integral sounder, two manual call points and a detector head removal tool.

Frequently asked questions

Can a TWINFLEX sounder share a zone with detectors?

Yes, the TWINFLEX Hipoint 302-0004 is a 2-wire zone-powered sounder that may be installed on the same zone as the Multipoint detector/sounder and associated Twinflex devices. The Hatari 302-0002 allows a maximum of six per zone, and the standalone Hatari can also be used in areas that do not require automatic detection technology.

Which Sita sounders have a short circuit isolator?

The Sita 323-0001, 326-0001 and 326-0003 each have an inbuilt short circuit isolator. The 323-0001 gives 87dB with seven sound patterns and is rated IP21 indoors and IP55 outdoors, while the 326-0001 low profile sounder and the 326-0003 give 88dB with three patterns and are supplied complete with a red mounting base.

Which Fike sounder suits my fire alarm system?

Match the Fike sounder to the panel it joins. The Hipoint 302-0004 is a 2-wire zone-powered sounder compatible with the Twinflex 2-wire range of fire alarm equipment. The Sita 326/0021-R is an addressable sounder/strobe that attaches to the loop of Sita 200+, Duonet and Quadnet panels. The NS100R-S is an EN54-approved conventional sounder with 32 alarm tones.

What voltage does the Fike NS100 sounder run on?

The NS100R-S and NS100R-D have a wide operating voltage of 12 to 56Vdc, with low power consumption and reverse polarity monitoring. They are EN54-approved conventional sounders offering 32 alarm tones, a two-stage alarm option and full synchronisation, and the NS100R-D comes with a deep mounting base rated IP65.

Which Fike sounders also have a strobe?

Fike sounders with a visual warning here include the Sita 326/0021-R, an addressable sounder/strobe with a red lens visual indicator that attaches to the loop and is only compatible with Sita 200+, Duonet and Quadnet control panels. The NSF100R-W-D combines sounder and strobe functions in a single device, and the NSF100R-W-S combines a sounder and a VAD in one unit. Both NSF100 models offer 32 alarm tones and are approved to EN54-3 and EN54-23.
