APPROVED For listing information see “Notes” on bottom of page 6.) General Description System Sensor SpectrAlert Series strobes, horns, and combination horn/ strobes are UL listed for primary signaling in life safety systems and meet ADA public mode visible signaling requirements. SpectrAlert products can be connected to the alarm indicating circuit of a fire alarm control panel and are compatible with DC line supervision. The SpectrAlert product line mounts to standard back boxes with the use of a universal mounting plate included with each unit. An optional small footprint mounting plate fits to a single gang box. An accessory back box skirt gives a cosmetic finish to a 4″ × 4″ × 11/2″ or a 2″ × 4″ × 17/8″ surface mounted back box. All strobe and horn/strobe mounting options require only one screw attachment of product to plate. These products are designed for 12 and 24 VDC and full wave rectified unfiltered power. Full wave rectified operation requires more current than DC operation. For detailed current draw information, consult the table below. The horn/strobe combination products are factory assembled with jumper wires for in-tandem operation. For independent wiring of horn and strobe, remove jumper wires. When wired for independent operation, the strobe will continue to run while the horn can be silenced. However, the strobe must be running for horn to operate. selectable features are accomplished with the use of pins and jumpers located on the back of each SpectrAlert horn and horn/strobe. An accessory module is not needed to make these field selections. The horn on horn/ strobe models will operate on a coded power supply. The horn only model designed for coded power supplies (HC12/24) will also operate on a coded power supply. Strobes The ADA compliant SpectrAlert strobes are electronic visible warning signals that flash at 1 Hz over their operating voltage range. These products are available in 24 volt models at 15, 15/75, 75 and 110 candela intensities and in 12 volt models at 15 and 15/75 candela intensities. SpectrAlert products feature dramatic reductions in current requirements. Sync•Circuit Module The Sync•Circuit Module is available for the synchronization of strobes and horns and can synchronize two Style Y (class B) circuits or one Style Z (class A) circuit. The module can also generate a synchronized temp 3 tone for System Sensor’s Multi-Alert™ and PA400 horn products.* The synchronization module allows the SpectrAlert horns on combination horn/ strobes to be silenced on 2-wire systems. SpectrAlert’s Sync•Circuit Module can be daisy chained for multiple zone synchronization. The Module shall not operate on a coded power supply. Horn The SpectrAlert Series horns and horn/strobes provide two different field selectable/reversible tones, a high-low field selectable/reversible sound output setting (low setting on 24 volt models only) and a field selectable/ reversible temp 3 pattern or non-temporal continuous pattern. These field *For Multi-Alert and PA400: Strobes must be wired to a continuous source of power (non-coded power supply).
