The Amseco Colored Strobe utilizes a patented design that produces a true color output. The CSH24W offer a slim-line look with a stylish round
strobe. The CSH24W colored strobe/horns are UL listed for indoor applications. The terminal strips accept a wide cable offering and provide a
simple connection of one or multiple devices. The strobe/horn combinations are selectable with either a continuous or ANSI Temporal 3 output.
These strobes are used in various applications such as Mass Notification, Severe Weather Warning, Machine Operation, Industrial Detection
Systems, Access Control and many, many more. These devices are UL listed for general signaling (UL 1638) and comply with the requirements
for signaling of the hearing impaired (UL 1971). The bodies of the strobes are available in red or white. The strobes are designed for 24 VDC,
however will operate anywhere between 16 and 33 VDC.

The strobe/horn must be used only on circuits with continuously
operating voltage. DO NOT use strobe on coded or interrupted
circuits in which the applied voltage is interrupted ON and OFF as
the strobe may fail to flash. The applied voltage must be within its
rated input voltage range. Fuse ratings on signaling circuits must
handle peak currents from all devices connected to those circuits.
