SYSTEM SENSOR SPECTRALERT SERIES

SYSTEM SENSOR
SPECTRALERT™ SERIES
AUDIBLE, VISUAL AND AUDIO/VISUAL
NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES
DESCRIPTION
HORNS
In the System Sensor SpectrAlert™ Series electronic horns,
state-of-the-art electronics, combined with the durability of a
rugged plastic housing, eliminate the effects of inrush and
RFI contact noise.
These horns are also available with strobes to meet the requirements of UL Standard 1971 and the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
Field-selectable (reversible) features available are:
· Continuous or Audible Emergency Evacuation
Signal per ANSI S3.41 (Temporal Pattern).
· High or low dBA sound output, 85 or 79 dBA.
Ceiling mount horns offer 75 to 82 dBA with temporal output, and 82 to 85 dBA with non-temporal
output.
· High or low tone operation, electromechanical or
3,000 Hz interrupted.
The horns are indoor Listed and mount on a standard
1-gang or 4" back box, flush mount, or surface mount with
Model BBS skirt. Ceiling mount units may be surface
mounted with a Model BBSC skirt. “K” Model horns and
horn/strobes are Listed as rainproof per UL 50 (NEMA 3R).

STROBES
The strobes operate on 24 VDC, contain xenon flash tubes,
and are available in a “stand-alone” configuration, or integral
with the horn.
The SpectrAlert™ strobes have a nominal flash rate of 1.0
flash per second and are intended for non-sleeping areas/ADA applications (15, 15/75, 30, or 75 cd) and 110 cd for
sleeping areas. Ceiling mount strobes also offer 95, 115 or
177 cd output.
Strobes are indoor Listed, while “K” Models are Listed as
weatherproof per UL 1638.
The strobes may be used in conjunction with the MDL synchronization module which can synchronize two Style Y
(Class B) or one Style Z (Class A) circuit. It can also generate
an ANSI S3.41 temporal pattern. The module allows the
horns on combination horn/strobe units to be silenced on
Class B circuits. The MDL module mounts flush in a 4
1/16-inch square electrical box.
The horns, strobes and accessories are available in either
red or white finish. Ceiling mounted units are available either
in white with red FIRE letters or red with white letters.
SIGNAL COVERAGE
Most codes require that the notification appliances be “intelligible and audible in all occupied areas.” Thus, additional
appliances may be necessary to compensate for sound absorbing construction. Verify recommended minimum requirements with applicable enforcement agencies.
