Application:
The SHW24-153075 Horn/Strobe series are recommended
for use in areas such as; meeting rooms, schools, corridors,
apartments, office buildings, restaurants, hotels, and any
other application where effective Audible and Visual warning
is required by Federal, State, or local authority having
jurisdiction.
Horn/Strobe with Universal Mounting Plate Included
G
AMSECO’s Select-A-Horn/Strobe series are designed to
comply with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and
meet UL standard 1971 requirements for emergency
signaling devices for the hearing impaired. The SHW24
series Select-A-Horn/Strobe features a unique candela
intensity field selector switch for switching the candela
output from 15/75 to 30/120 cd. The Horn provides two
different field selectable tones, and a High / Low ouput
setting that can be accomplished with the use of mini
jumpers located on back of the unit. The strobe housing is
clearly labeled with vertical “FIRE” lettering and is polarized
for connecting to supervised fire alarm circuits. The strobe
is designed with a xenon flashtube and provide a candela
intensity field selector switch for maximum performance.
The Select-A-Horn/Strobe series is available in red and
white housing 15/75 or 30/120 cd. 24VDC models. The
SHW24-153075 can be synchronized by using the SMS13A 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.

Engineering Specifications:
The Audible and Visual alarm indicating appliance shall be AMSECO model SHW24-153075 or equivalent device. The Strobe
shall be listed under UL 1971 standard for signaling devices for the hearing impaired and shall be approved for fire protective
service. The candela output shall be field selectable, having a dual setting of 15/75 cd or 30/120 cd output. The Horn shall provide
two different field selectable tones a High and Low field selectable sound output setting. The signaling Horn/Strobe shall operate
on 24VDC from a non-coded regulated DC supply or full-wave rectified, unfiltered supply. The signaling strobe shall be designed
to produce a signal flash of one flash per second with continuously applied minimum voltage. The Horn/Strobe shall be capable of
WALL or CEILING mounting to a universal backbox. Visual signaling devices shall be mounted 80”above the highest floor point or
6” below ceiling; wich ever is lowest and are to be installed as per plans and specifications.

WARNING:
*Strobes must be use 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 strobe 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.
