C S YO8 Yodalarm & Yodalight Series Clifford & Snell

Installation

Installation must be carried out in accordance with the latest codes of practice by a qualified electrician.
Check that the power supply is correct for the voltage rating of the alarm to be installed.
Ensure that the power supply is disconnected prior to installation or maintenance to avoid electrical shock.
The unit should be mounted to a wall or bulkhead formed of suitable material using the two mounting lugs projecting from the side of the enclosure.
The lugs have an 10mm diameter mounting hole & sit on 250mm centres. The minimum recommended length of fixing screw is 30mm (not supplied).
Avoid mounting the alarm where it could subjected to excessive vibration levels.
All YA80 units require 2 additional ferrite beads (included in box) to be fitted on all input wires, 1 wire per hole. Failure to correctly install the ferrite beads will result in the unit not complying with the EN54-3 approval. (YL80 Ferrite Beads are factory installed).

Ingress Protection
To maintain the IP rating of the product, the below points must be observed.

An IP66 cable gland is supplied with the product. This gland (or other suitably rated) must be used.
When replacing the front cover, each of the four retaining screws must be torqued to 0.6Nm ±0.1Nm

Sound selection

Ensure the supply is OFF before proceeding.
All DC and AC units have 2 selectable alarm stages (see table on back of installation sheet for details) and are set via switches SW1 & SW2.
Figure 1 (DC) & Figure 3 (AC) show wiring to activate alarm stages 1 & 2.
Figure 2 shows a second option for DC wiring. This allows for activating a stage 1 or a stage 2 alarm tone depending on the polarity of the connection.
All stage 1 alarm tones have a predetermined stage 2 alarm (see back of installation sheet), this will only sound if SW1 & SW2 are configured to the same tone.

Line integrity for DC systems only

For 3 wire 2 stage alarm system, monitor via reverse polarity across TB1 & TB2.
For 2 wire 2 stage alarm system, monitor via threshold, (applied voltage<1v) an end-of-line (E.O.L) resistor is required for line monitoring and should have a minimum resistance of 3k3 ohms and 0.5watts, wire-wound or metal film type.

AC Systems
A second stage alarm tone can be activated by applying an additional “L” connection to the TB3 terminal on the PCB, as shown in Figure 3.

Additional Voltage Options

The Clifford and Snell YO8 series is also available in a 48vDC (F) option.
The wiring for this voltage is the same as the 24vDC units as shown in Figure 1.
Always confirm correct voltage is applied to relevant terminals.

YO8 Yodalarm/Yodalight Series

Consists of either the YA80 (Audible Unit only) or the YL80 (Combined Audible & Visual unit)
Connections for the YL80 units are made via a 6 way Terminal Block mounted in the base of the unit as shown in Figure 4 diagram below. Using connections shown, it is possible to independently control both Sounder and Beacon sections.
