Mini-Horns - System Sensor

Mini-Horns
The SpectrAlert® Advance series of mini-horn sounders are
designed to simplify installations to provide primary and
secondary signaling for fire and security applications.
Features
The MHR and MHW mini-horns operate at 12 and 24 volts and are
ideal for hotel, motel or residential fire system applications, where a
smaller notification device is desired. The mini-horns offer high and
low volume settings, and temporal or non-temporal tones. The horns
can be mounted to single gang back boxes for aesthetically sensitive
applications. Synchronization is also provided when using the MDL module.
