This manual shall be left with the owner user of this equipment INSTALLING read the System Sensor Audible Visible Application Reference Guide provides detailed information on notification devices wiring and applications Copies of this manual are available from System Sensor 72 and NEMA guidelines should be observed The notification appliance used must be tested and maintained NFPA 72 requirements DESCRIPTION Sensor series of notification appliances offer a wide range of audible visible devices for life safety notification Our 2 wire horn strobes chime and strobes come with 8 field selectable tone and volume combina and 7 field selectable candela settings Intended for indoor applications approved for ceiling mount installations horn strobes and strobes are public mode notification appliances in to alert occupants of a life safety event The 2 wire chime strobe is private mode notification appliance The horn is listed to ANSI UL 464 re public mode and the strobe is listed to ANSI UL 1638 public 2 wire chime strobe is a private mode notification appliances intended alert trained personnel to investigate a life safety event and take appropriate The chime portion of the chime strobe is listed to ANSI UL 464 pri mode and the strobe portion is listed to ANSI UL 1638 private mode Sensor strobes are designed to be used in 12 VDC 24VDC or 24V FWR wave rectified systems System Sensor AV devices can be activated by a fire alarm control panel or power supply Refer to the appropriate alarm control panel manufacturer or power supply for more information Sensor ceiling 2 wire horn strobes 2 wire chime strobes and strobes electrically backward compatible with the previous generation since 1996 notification appliances They come enabled with System Sensor synchro protocol which requires connections to a power supply capable of the System Sensor synchronization pulses a FACP NAC output to System Sensor synchronization protocol or the use of MDL3 to generate the synchronization protocol ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code NFPA 72 requires that all noti appliances used for building evacuation installed after July 1 1996 temporal coded signals Signals other than those used for evacuation do not have to produce the temporal coded signal System Sensor spacing notification appliances in compliance with NFPA 72 DESIGN system designer must make sure that the total current draw by the devices the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel supply and the last device on the circuit is operated within its rated voltage The draw information for making these calculations can be found in the within the manual For convenience and accuracy use the voltage drop on the System Sensor website www systemsensor com calculating the voltage available to the last device it is necessary to the voltage due to the resistance of the wire The thicker the wire the the voltage drop Wire resistance tables can be obtained from electri handbooks Note that if Class A wiring is installed the wire length may up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not fault tolerant total number of strobes on a single NAC must not exceed 69 for 24 volt TONES Sensor offers a wide variety of tones for your life safety needs includ temporal 3 pattern second on second off second on second second on 1 off and repeat which is specified by ANSI and NFPA 72 standard emergency evacuation signaling select the tone turn the rotary switch on the back of the product to the setting See Figure 1 Available horn settings can be found in Table 1 chime settings can be found in Table 2 CANDELA SETTINGS Sensor offers a wide range of candela settings for your life safety In order to select your candela output adjust the slide switch on the of the product to the desired candela setting on the selector switch See 2 candela setting can also be verified by looking into the small window on front of the unit See Table 3 for candela settings for ceiling products All meet the light output profiles specified in the appropriate UL Stan See Figures 3 to 5 1 AUDIO SELECTOR 2 CANDELA SELECTOR 3 LIGHT OUTPUT VERTICAL
