SPECTRALERT™ SERIES
CEILING MOUNTED
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 combined with strobes to meet the requirements of UL Standard 1971 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Field-selectable (reversible) features available are:
• Continuous (non-temporal) or Emergency Evacuation Signal per ANSI S3.41 (Temporal Pattern 3).
• High or low dBA sound output
• Electromechanical or 3,000 Hz interrupted.
The horns are indoor Listed and mount on a standard 4"
back box for flush mount, or surface mount with a Model
BBSC skirt.
STROBES
The strobes are indoor Listed, operate on 24 VDC, contain
xenon flash tubes, and are available in a “stand-alone” configuration, or integral with the horn.
The SpectrAlert™ strobes are intended for non-sleeping areas/ADA applications (15, 15/75, 30, 75 or 95 cd) and 115 or
177 cd for sleeping areas.
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 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.
