Frequently asked questions

Does this beacon make a sound?

It is a Visual Indication Device, a light and not a sounder, so plan any audible alarm as a separate item.

Can it be the main visual fire alarm?

It is for use as an ancillary visual alarm. Check the approvals you need against the unit's documentation, and confirm any primary need with whoever holds the fire strategy.

Will it work on a 2-wire panel?

Usually, as it is compatible with 2 wire fire alarm systems. Vimpex keeps a list of compatible control panels, so check yours against it.

Is a back box included?

Confirm what comes with it before planning a separate box. This code is the Surface Mount version, and Back Box 10-8010WXX is the spare part.

How much current does it draw?

8 mA at 24V dc. Its operating voltage is 20 - 28V dc.

Is there a flush version?

Yes. The range has separate Flush Mount codes, so this surface code is not the one for a recessed box.

Vimpex Identifire Fire Alarm Beacon, Surface Mount, White Body, Blue Lens, 10-1310WSB-S

Overview

VID stands for Visual Indication Device: a light that flashes when its circuit is powered. This one is from Vimpex's Identifire range.

It gives a visible second cue alongside a sounder. Browse the wider choice in the fire alarm sounders and beacons range.

Where to use it

  • Fire systems: As an additional visual cue on conventional and 2-wire systems, alongside the sounders the design already requires.
  • Signalling: It also suits general alarm and signalling systems, so it can mark a status or event away from a fire panel.
  • Limits: The rated range runs from -5°C to +50°C, so cold or very hot plant areas are out. For outdoor or damp positions, check the IP rating you need against the unit's documentation first.

What the figures mean in practice

  • Current: Multiply the current per device by the number on the circuit, then check the total against what the panel or output module can supply.
  • Voltage window: A figure of 20 to 28 volts suits a typical 24 volt system, so check the voltage at the far end of a long cable run.

Installing it

The surface box takes the cable through knockouts for surface and glanded entry. As a rule, fix the box, wire it, then fit the device.

As a rule, use the fire-rated cable the system design calls for, and test the circuit with the panel once complete.

Planning your system

  • Sounders: This device gives a visual signal, so plan the audible alarm separately.
  • Panel type: The guide to conventional or addressable fire alarm systems explains the difference. This device suits conventional and 2-wire systems, so check your panel type before ordering.
  • Colour choice: The range offers Red, White, Amber, Blue and Green strobes on Red or White bodies. Agree the colour's meaning with the site, particularly where several signals share a building.

Standards and ratings explained

EN 54-23 is the standard for visual alarm devices used as a primary warning of fire. This device is for ancillary use, so check the approvals you need against the unit's documentation before specifying it.
