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.
