How to wire GENT fire alarm sounder!

[linuxthefish]

Hi, i've aquired a GENT sounder (unsure of model). Where do the wiring connections go for it?

The connections on the back are: 2x -VE, 2x +VE, and 2x REM. What do these mean? :s

il take guess at 2 positive , 2 negatives and an interlink

assuming it's a 24V sounder, 2 +ve ( in and out ) and 2 -. stick 24V DC across it. + and -

Thanks all! What's REM for?

If your struggling with + and - then REM will blow your mind

Have installed some gent stuff and the are some sounders that you can put on the loop and then spur of to an extra device ie a smoke head
Could even mean 'remote indicator'?

Lol, fire alarm engineers weeping at this point.

Be careful, the commissioning on Gent equipment is on a closed protocol
only Gent approved commissioning engineers have the dongle to commission it

I'm installing a used fire alarm sounder on my personal alarm system, so i hope it's ok with them!

REM is for a remote indicator on detectors. e.g if the detector is in a cupboard or lift shaft. not sure what it's for on a sounder.

sorry guys, I mis-read the heading
I didn't realise it was just a sounder
