Technical Specifications
Operating Voltage
With 15 different variations, the Vulcan 2
brings an exciting flexibility to the Global Fire
Equipment range of warning devices and
interfaces. Up to 96 Vulcan 2 devices can
benconnected to a single Loop depending on
Loop Loading. In the case of combined
Sounder and Beacon devices the maximum
number of devices should not exceed 64.
The addressable Vulcan 2 is available as a
Detector Sounder, Beacon or combined
Sounder / Beacon. This particular device
permits a conventional detector to be
connected to the addressable loop via the
Sounder and/or Beacon. There are also
versions available incorporating a loop
isolator.
All Vulcan 2 devices have D.I.L. switch
Address setting while Tone selection is via a
jumper. Shadow Sounder and Detector
Sounder settings are also achieved using the
8 way D.I.L switch and a jumper respectively.
There is also a potentiometer which may be
used to adjust the sound level if required.

The Vulcan 2 Detector Sounder/ Beacon is a Base
Sounder and/or Beacon which is also used to interface
one conventional detector to the Analogue Addressable
Loop. The number of Detector Sounders/ Beacons
connected to each Loop is dependent on Loop loading
and in any case the total number/ loop should not
exceed 64.

When connecting the conventional detector always follow the manufacturer’s
.
instructions to ensure proper operation.
Note: If no jumper is placed on the mode select header, the device will behave
like a normal addressable sounder. In this mode no detectors, conventional or
analogue addressable can be connected to this sounder unit. The shadow
sounder mode will still be available by placing switch no. 8 in the OFF position.
