Vimpex Identifire Tritone Fire Alarm Sounder, Surface Mount, Red 10-1010RSX-S

Overview

This sounder is part of the Identifire range from Vimpex, a family of matching single gang devices. The low profile sleek design makes it a good match where looks matter as much as function.

It suits installers carrying out conventional work or swapping old sounders, and building owners who want one tidy device. The design can be customised with a logo and text in any language.

How it works

A conventional circuit is a pair of wires from the panel that drives every sounder on it together. This unit runs from that supply and needs no separate power.

A 2-wire system carries detectors and sounders on the same pair. On an addressable panel, an output module sits between the loop and the sounder.

Where to use it

  • Standard installations: Vimpex aims it at ordinary jobs where appearance is an important consideration.
  • Surface positions: Solid walls or places without a recessed box suit this version.
  • Temperature limits: It is rated down to -5°C, so unheated spaces in winter need a closer look.

What the figures mean in practice

  • Output bands: dB(A) measures loudness as people hear it. Low is useful in small quiet rooms, and High in larger spaces.
  • Low current draw: Sounders on one circuit add up, so a small figure lets a panel carry more of them. Add every device to your calculation.

Installing it

  • Back cover: Pick the knockouts that suit your route, and only open those you need.
  • Glands: Use a gland that matches the knockout size and the cable in use.
  • Retro-fitting: No special wiring is required, but the existing circuit should still be checked for voltage.

Planning your system

The job also needs a panel on the compatible list, plus an output module if the system is addressable. Read the fire alarm system guide for how conventional and addressable systems differ.

For other mounts, colours or a version with a light, browse the fire alarm sounders and beacons range.

Standards explained

  • EN 54 Part 3: the standard for fire alarm sounders. UL is the approving body.
