24 volt strobe in rush current Information National Fire Protection Association has published codes and recommended practices for the installation and of the above appliances Therefore the installer must be fa with these requirements with local codes and any special of the authority having jurisdiction PA400 PA400W white and PA400R red Piezo Alert electronic and optional supplementary signal strobes are intended be connected to the alarm indicating circuit of a UL listed 12 or VDC fire alarm control panel The models PS12 and PS24 op strobe additions to the PA400 require a 12 VDC or 24 VDC respectively and are able to operate from a full wave recti unfiltered supply Notes wiring must be in compliance with all codes and must not be such length or wire size that would cause the appliance to op outside of its published specifications The appliances must be tested after installation in accordance with the control manufacturer test procedure Do not loop wires under terminal screws Wires the device to the panel must be broken at the screw terminal in order to maintain electrical Manuals Online Sounders The PA400 is intended for mounting to a standard 2 1 2 deep box which allows sufficient clearance for conduit The PA400 is compatible with DC line supervision The Piezo is polarized and has terminals marked with polarity Ap positive supply voltage to the terminal and negative voltage to the terminal See Figure 5 Mount the appliance to the electrical outlet box using the two screws supplied Field repair of the PA400 should not be attempted Return to for repair or replacement or PS24 Strobes optional strobes are interconnected to the PA400 by first re the two mounting screws from the sounder Use a small to punch out the skinned over areas as indicated in 6 Install the adapter plate on top of the sounder and screw combined sounder and adapter plate to the electrical outlet Make sure field wiring terminals are oriented in the upward when mounted in the outlet box Next slide the strobe into the slots in the plates The positive solder lug may be red or marked with a plus sign This lug must be in slot closest to the field wiring terminals Grasp the catch area each end of the strobe and squeeze while applying inward Make sure the strobe catches fully engage the slots in the plate and that no gap appears at the interface between the and adapter
