The current draw information for making these calculations can be found in the tables within this manual. For convenience and accuracy, use the voltage drop calculator on the System Sensor website (www.systemsensor.com). NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances offers a wide range of horns, strobes, and horn/strobes, for wall and ceiling applications, indoors and outdoors. They are designed to be used on 12 or 24 volt, DC or FWR (full wave rectified) systems. These products are electrically backward compatible with the previous generation of SpectrAlert notification appliances. Horn/ strobe products are available in two versions. The 2-wire products fit systems where a single NAC controls both horn and strobe. The 4-wire products are intended for systems which have separate wiring circuits for the horn and strobe. All SpectrAlert Advance products are suitable for use in synchronized systems. The System Sensor MDL3 module may be used to provide synchronization. When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to consider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the wire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained from electrical handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is installed, the wire length may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not fault tolerant. K Series products are designed to be used over a wider range of temperatures and are suitable for use in wet environments with outdoor backbox supplied with product. NOTE: The total number of strobes on a single NAC must not exceed 40 for 24 volt applications or 12 for 12 volt applications. Loop resistance on a single NAC should not exceed 120 ohms for 24 volt and 30 ohms for 12 volt systems. Wall and ceiling products may be used interchangeably (wall products may be used on the ceiling and ceiling products may be used on the wall.) FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS The National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, requires that all horns, used for building evacuation produce temporal coded signals. Signals other than those used for evacuation purposes do not have to produce the temporal coded signal. System Sensor recommends spacing notification appliances in compliance with NFPA 72.

KNOCKOUT REMOVAL FOR SURFACE MOUNT BACK BOX: ½ INCH wire mold removal A0466-00 A0465-01 ¾ INCH Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems WARNING THE LIMITATIONS OF HORN/STROBES The horn and/or strobe will not work without power. The horn/strobe gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If power is cut off for any reason, the horn/strobe will not provide the desired audio or visual warning. The horn may not be heard. The loudness of the horn meets (or exceeds) current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The horn may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm. The horn may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired. NOTE: Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation. The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses an extremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired. The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photoic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals, including this strobe, are activated. The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded power supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an uninterrupted source of power in order to operate correctly. System Sensor recommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.
