With an overall feature set that combines performance, installation ease, flexibility, and a consistent, aesthetically pleasing appearance, the SpectrAlert Selectable Output devices provide both the innovation and efficiency synonymous with the SpectrAlert name. Performance. SpectrAlert selectable output wall-mount horns, strobes, and horn/strobes offer key performance features long associated with the SpectrAlert name. The selectable candela strobes and horn/strobes offer average current draws that are not only lower than conventional fixed-candela SpectrAlert products, but also lower than similar selectable candela products. By consuming less current, the ability to connect even more devices per loop is possible, resulting in a lower installed cost. Installation. SpectrAlert selectable output horns, strobes, and horn/strobes offer the same installation-friendly features synonymous with the SpectrAlert name, such as the option of 2- and 4-wire operation; the ability to use standard size backboxes with no encroachment into the box; and universal mounting incorporating the labor-saving QuickClick™ feature. Such labor-savings features make wire connections simple and fast, further reducing installed cost. Flexibility. SpectrAlert selectable output strobes and horn/strobes offer the broadest range of candela options. In addition, the selectable output strobes and horn/strobes can operate on either 12V or 24V, with no setting required; the device recognizes and self-adjusts to the correct current automatically. Temporal 3 or Continuous tone options continue to be available, in either an Electromechanical or 3kHz pattern. Aesthetics. SpectrAlert selectable output horns, strobes, and horn/strobes incorporate the same stylish, low profile design of the conventional SpectrAlert products, for a consistent and aesthetically pleasing appearance across the entire product line.

RMS measurements more accurately predict the power consumption of a device since they take into account the entire current draw profile including surge, repetitive surge, and peak values. The published RMS current is the maximum operating current of that device within its operating voltage range. This current maximum may or Table 1-B: Horn UL Max.

Current Draw Measurements (mA RMS) For strobe candela selection, adjust slide switch located on the rear of the product while watching the viewing window on the side of the reflector. Temporal Low Volume During May 2004, UL also changed the way they list the voltage range of a device. All 12V products will be listed between 8 – 17.5V and all 24V products will be listed between 16 – 33V. Those devices are considered “regulated”. Any product that does not operate within these ranges will be listed as a “special application” with its operating voltage specified on the device. Notes Temporal Low Volume Similarly, UL tests the audibility of devices in accordance with UL 464 by measuring them across the operating voltage range to determine the minimum sound pressure level produced at any particular setting.
