System Sensor SS12/24ADA Series signaling strobes
comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
and the demanding requirements of the Underwriters
Laboratories Standard UL 1971 for the Hearing Impaired.
The 15/75 strobe models are UL 1971 listed at 15 cd.
To insure compliance with ADA and UL 1971, use the
System Sensor 75 candela models for non-sleeping areas,
and the wall-mounted 110 candela models for sleeping
areas. Available in red or beige at 12 or 24 VDC, the
SS12/24ADA series of signaling strobes can be surface
mounted directly to a standard 4″ backbox or can be
mounted to our semi-flush plate for recessed electrical
boxes. They are also available in combination with System
Sensor Multi-Alert horns and Sound Choice SP101 or V400
speakers for both visible and audible signaling.

Engineering Specifications
Strobe shall be a System Sensor Model ______ listed to
Standard UL 1971 for the Hearing Impaired and shall be
approved for Fire Protective Service. Strobe shall be wired
as a Primary Signaling Notification appliance. Strobe shall
also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
requirements for visible signaling appliances. Strobe shall
operate on 12 or 24VDC from a regulated DC supply or
full-wave rectified, unfiltered supply. The signaling strobe
shall be powered from a non-coded power supply when
powered with the horn or powered independently. Strobe
shall have no measurable in-rush current in excess of
operating peak current. Visual signaling devices are to be
installed in all non-sleeping/corridor and sleeping areas
per plans and specifications. The strobe light shall consist
of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system.
All strobes shall be capable of mounting to a standard 4″ ×
4″ × 11/2″ backbox, in either a surface mount or semiflush
mount with separate mounting plate.
