All models can be powered using full wave rectified unfiltered Under no SS24ADA or series devices input voltage exceed 33 VDC or be than 16 VDC 16 33Vrms for full wave rectified unfiltered Under no circumstances can the MA12 24D input exceed 33 VDC or be less than 9.6 VDC Under no cir can a SS12ADA or MASS12ADA series device input exceed 18.7 VDC or be less than 9.6 VDC 9.6 for full wave rectified unfiltered supplies 3 Measured at 10 feet in an anechoic chamber 4 Measured in a UL reverberant room 5 Only continuous tones 800Hz 2400 Hz can be temporally per UL Strobes cannot be used on an MDL module pro temporal coding to Multi Alert horns suitable for outdoor use rated light output of the SS2415ADA SS1215ADA MASS1215ADA and MASS121575ADA 15 cd See Figure 1 is 75 cd See Figure 1 output of SS2475ADA and the device terminal connection in order to main electrical supervision Strobe and strobe combination are designed for wall mount ONLY sounder is 1 1 4 deep Back boxes must be 4 by at least 1 1 2 deep 2 1 8 deep is strobes must be mounted so that the top of the lens is inches 61 cm below ceilings or as required by the having jurisdiction rated is 110 cd See Figure 1 output of SS24110ADA and The light output at 0 cid 176 viewing angle for SS12 and MASS12 241575ADA models is 75 See Figure 1 Sounder mounting Surface Mount See Fig 7 Semi Flush Mount See Fig 10 and 13 Flush Mount See Fig 12 Sounder Strobe combination mounting one of eight sounds can be selected on the electronic as indicated in Table 2 The sound selected deter the maximum current and sound power output per See Table 1 for these values Sounder Strobe Operation may be applications where it is desirable to drive the and strobe as independent devices The System MASS12 24ADA series sounder strobes are easily for this capability The terminal connection for application is shown in Figure 6 Independent strobe in a coded system requires a separate uncoded supply for the strobe General head screws are used to attach each device or of devices to the electrical outlet box head screws are used to attach accessories to the Refer to Figures 3,4,5 and 6 for wiring methods Do not loop wires under the terminal screw Wires the device to the panel must be broken Surface Mount See Fig 9 Semi Flush Mount See Fig 10 and 13 mounting requires the use of the deep box Part or equivalent Determine which of the two device will be used to attach the device to the box Mount flush plate to the sounder using the other two holes two 1 inch phillips head screws and two square Strobe mounting Surface Mount See Fig 8 Semi Flush Mount See Fig 11 procedures must conform to all applicable and the requirements of the authority having The rated output of the sounder is specified at 10 It cannot be assumed that the output will the NFPA standard of 15 dB over ambient at all locations within a room Additional may be needed to ensure sound output complies with NFPA requirements Limitations of Sounder Strobes Sounder and or Strobe will not work without power The sounder gets its power from the fire security panel monitoring the alarm If power is cut off for any reason the sounder strobe will not pro the desired audio or visual warning Sounder may not be heard The loudness of the sounder meets or current Underwriters Laboratories standards However the may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs has been drinking alcoholic beverages The Sounder may not be heard it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic air condition machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from the alarm The Sounder may not be heard by persons who are impaired Signal Strobe may not be seen The electronic visual warning signal flashes at least once every three seconds meets or exceeds current Un Laboratories standard 1971 and uses an extremely reliable xe flash tube The visual warning signal is suitable for direct viewing and be installed within an area where it can be seen by building occu The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high intensity over 60 foot candles where the visual flash might be disre or not seen The strobe may not be seen by the visually im signal strobe may cause seizures Individuals who have a positive response to visual stimuli with seizures such as epileptics should prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals in this strobe are activated Sensor recommends that the Multi Alert Sounder and Signal always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the limitations are minimized si
