of notification appliances offers a wide range horns strobes and horn strobes for wall and ceiling applications indoors outdoors They are designed to be used on 12 or 24 volt DC or FWR wave rectified systems These products are electrically backward compat with the previous generation of SpectrAlert notification appliances Horn products are available in two versions The 2 wire products fit systems a single NAC controls both horn and strobe The 4 wire products are in for systems which have separate wiring circuits for the horn and strobe SpectrAlert Advance products are suitable for use in synchronized systems System Sensor MDL3 module may be used to provide synchronization Series products are designed to be used over a wider range of temperatures are suitable for use in wet environments with outdoor backbox supplied product and ceiling products may be used interchangeably wall products be used on the ceiling and ceiling products may be used on the wall ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72 requires that all horns used for evacuation produce temporal coded signals Signals other than those for evacuation purposes do not have to produce the temporal coded sig System Sensor recommends spacing notification appliances in compli with NFPA 72 DESIGN AND WIRING system designer must make sure that the total current drawn by the de on the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel supply that 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 this 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 drop due to the resistance of the wire The thicker the the smaller the voltage drop Wire resistance tables can be obtained electrical handbooks Note that if Class A wiring is installed the wire may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not tolerant The total number of strobes on a single NAC must not exceed 40 for volt applications or 12 for 12 volt applications Loop resistance on a single should not exceed 120 ohms for 24 volt and 30 ohms for 12 volt systems 1 3 list the minimum light output requirements per UL1971 2 LIGHT OUTPUT DISPERSION of SELECTION the rotary switch on the back of the product to the desired setting For and 4 wire horn strobe products the current draw for each setting is in Table 3 For 2 wire horn strobe products P2 series current

provided by the NAC the NAC voltage is held constant the horn output will remain constantly on 7 8 and 9 are not available on 2 wire horn strobe products SELECTION the slide switch on the rear of the product to the desired candela set in the small window on the front of the unit All products meet the light profiles specified in the appropriate UL Standards See Figures 1 3 Table 1 to determine the current draw for each candela setting For K products used outdoors at low temperatures listed candela ratings must reduced in accordance with Table 2 SpectrAlert products set at 15 and 15 75 candela automatically work either 12V or 24V power supplies The products are not listed for 12V op voltages when set to any other candela settings For 4 Wire products current draw may be determined by adding current draw for the specific selection and the current draw for the specific horn selection use 1 and Table 3 1 LIGHT OUTPUT VERTICAL DISPERSION CEILING TO WALLS FLOOR of is generated text for 3
