EATURES
The RAPIER-6510 sounder is a high specification warning device designed for use in installations
requiring the highest levels of security protection. With its high quality stainless steel cover the RAPIER-
6510 is ideal where product integrity is fundamental. The contemporary appearance of the highly
polished cover delivers an aesthetically pleasing look in every installation. The RAPIER-6510 fully meets
the requirements of EN50131-4 as a self-powered warning device for external applications at Security
Grade 3.
O
PERATION
The RAPIER-6510 sounder is used for notification of an alarm condition as generated within an intruder,
hold-up or other alarm system. In response to commands from the alarm system control panel, the
sounder will emit a high intensity sound and/or operate a visual flash.
The RAPIER-6510 will detect any attempt to gain unauthorised access to the sounder by removal of the
cover, or any attempt to remove it away from its mounting surface. This will generate a tamper signal
which is normally fed back to the alarm control panel. Integrity of the Trigger Command (Ring Line)
connection is constantly monitored and will cause the unit to self activate if loss of connection is
detected, with R- HOLD link NOT fitted the unit will also report a tamper to the control panel.
The RAPIER-6510 is classified a self powered sounder and has an on-board battery which is recharged
via the external power source. This battery is used to operate the sounder if the external power is
removed. The sounder can be configured to self actuate (SAB Mode ON) in the event that a tamper
condition is detected or the external power to the sounder is removed.
Every 24 hours the RAPIER-6510 performs a self test to check the integrity of its on-board battery, its
battery charging circuit and its piezo transducers. If an error condition is detected, a fault signal is
generated. This is normally connected back to the control panel. This self-test can be triggered at any
time by a Remote Test command sent from the control panel. An on-board diagnostic LED guides the
maintenance engineer to the source(s) of the fault.
To assist with commissioning, the RAPIER-6510 has an Engineer Mode to provide silent start-up and
Tamper Tones that indicate the correct closure of the tamper detection switches.
Two Comfort LEDs are used to provide a heart-beat type visual indication when the Rapier is not
sounding. These may be disabled.

NFORMATION
Tamper Circuit for Single or Multiple Cascade Installations
The RAPIER-6510 sounder has provision for inclusion of an end of line resistor in the tamper circuit for
both single (Figure 1) and multiple cascade installations (Figure 2). In cascade installations with two or
more sounders, the TS (Tamper Source) will normally be connected to the TR (Tamper Return) of the
next sounder except for the last unit which will have TS linked to H-. Only ONE end-of-line resistor
should be selected in the last sounder, all other units should have 0Ω selected.
Engineer Mode
This selects silent start-up and silent maintenance. The ENG input may be brought back to the control
panel and connected to a programmable output. Switching this control panel output high when
maintenance is required will prevent the sounder from self activating when the cover is removed or R-
activated. The Tamper output is open when ENG is high, this prevents inadvertent system setting with
the sounder left in Engineer Mode (when SAB Mode = on).
