SpectraAlert® Advance Description The SpectrAlert® Advance audible visible notification products are UL® 464 Compliant for the 520 Hz low frequency signal. The SpectrAlert Advance Series offer the most versatile and easy-to-use line of low frequency sounder and low frequency sounder strobes in the industry. With white and red plastic housings and Listed for dual wall and ceiling mountings, the SpectrAlert Advance complies with any application requirement. The low frequency sounder and sounder strobes are rich with features guaranteed to reduce the installation times and maximize profits. Like the entire SpectrAlert Advance product line, the wallmount low frequency sounder and the low frequency sounder strobes include a variety of features that increase their application versatility while simplifying the installation. All devices feature plug-in designs with minimal intrusion into the backbox, making installations fast and foolproof while eliminating costly and time-consuming ground faults. To simplify the installation and protect the devices from construction damage, SpectrAlert Advance uses a universal mounting plate with an on-board shorting spring. This feature allows installers to test wiring continuity before the device is installed. Installers can easily adapt devices to suit a wide range of application requirements using the field-selectable candela settings, automatic selection of 12- or 24-volt operation, and a rotary switch for low frequency sounder tones.

Low Frequency Sounder (Continued) When it is used with the Sync•Circuit Module MDL3, 12volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 8.5 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 16.5 to 33 volts. If the notification appliances are not UL 9th Edition Listed with the corresponding panel or power supply being used, then refer to the compatibility listing of the panel to determine the maximum devices on a circuit. The low frequency sounder has an option to switch between temporal three pattern, non-temporal (continuous) pattern and coded supply. The low frequency sounder shall operate on a coded or non-coded power supply. Also, SpectrAlert Advance products, when used with the Sync.Circuit. Module accessory, shall be powered from a non-coded notification appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal 12 or 24 volts. When used with the Sync.Circuit Module, 12-volt-rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 8.5 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt-rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 16.5 and 33 volts. Indoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between 32 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit from a regulated DC or full-wave rectified unfiltered power supply. Low Frequency Sounder strobes shall have field-selectable candela settings including 135, 150, 177, and 185. Low Frequency Sounder Strobe Combination The low frequency sounder strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model Listed to UL 1971 and UL 464 and shall be approved for fire protective service. The low frequency sounder strobe shall be wired as a primarysignaling notification appliance and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system. The sounder shall have an option to switch between a temporal three pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These options are set by a multiple position switch. The low frequency sounder on low frequency sounder strobe models shall operate on a non-coded power supply.
