Speaker/StrobeCombination
Low Profile, Field Selectable Candela
13-487, 13-489
Overview
GE Interlogix offers the low profile fire alarm speaker/strobe
which is designed to generate attention grabbing tones and voice
commands for emergency signaling evacuation applications. These
highly efficient low profile speakers are available with field
selectable taps from 1/4W – 2 Watts. The low profile speakers are
available with input voltage of 25 Vrms and can be installed on a
standard 4” x 4” x 1 1/2” electrical backbox without the need for an
extension ring. This speaker/strobe series is designed with a new
strobe. The strobe features a unique candela intensity field
selector switch for switching the candela output from 15/75 to
30/120 cd. The strobe housing is clearly labeled with “FIRE”
lettering and is polarized for connecting to supervised fire alarm
circuits. The strobe is designed with a xenon flashtube and
provides a candela intensity field selector switch for maximum
performance. The speaker/strobe series is available in red or
white housing 15/75 to 30/120 cd. and 110 cd models.
The strobe can be synchronized by using the 13-472 sync module
to comply with NFPA recommendations concerning photosensitive
epilepsy when installing 2 or more visual appliances within the
field of view. The strobe signals are listed for indoor use, ceiling
and wall mount, under UL 1971 standard.

15/75 to 30/120 cd output. The signaling strobe operates on
24VDC from a non-coded regulated DC supply or full-wave
rectified, unfiltered supply. The signaling strobe is designed to
produce a signal flash of one flash per second (1 Hz) with
continuously applied minimum voltage. The 13-487 and 13-489 is
capable of wall or ceiling mounting. The visual signaling devices
are to be installed in all non-sleeping/corridor and sleeping areas
as per plans and specifications.
