MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Series Strobes and Series Synchronized for Fire Protective Systems 1 SS24ADAS Series Electrical Ratings Current Current Operating Description National Fire Protection Association has published and recommended practices for the installation use of the listed appliances It is recommended that the be familiar with these requirements with local and any special requirements of the local fire au having jurisdiction Multi Alert sounder and signaling strobe are intended be connected to the alarm indicating circuit of a UL fire alarm control panel and is compatible with DC supervision The electronic sounder can be connected either 12 or 24 VDC panels Models SS2415ADAS and combination models incorporating strobes require 24 volt panels Panels may have full rectified unfiltered power supplies The strobes are and flash at a rate of one flash per second continuous voltage applied SS24ADAS SS24ADA and MASS24ADA series devices may be in the same zone 2

2400 Hz can be temporally per UL Strobes cannot be used on an MDL module pro temporal coding to Multi Alert horns Sounder Strobe combination mounting Surface Mount See Fig 10 Semi Flush Mount See Fig 11 and 14 Sounder mounting Surface Mount See Fig 7 Semi Flush Mount See Fig 11 and 14 Flush Mount See Fig 13 mounting requires the use of the deep box Part BB D or equivalent Determine which of the two holes will be used to attach the device to the Mount the flush plate to the sounder using the two holes with two 1 inch phillips head screws two square nuts Strobe mounting Surface Mount See Fig 9 Semi Flush Mount See Fig 12 procedures must conform to all applicable codes the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction 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 sound selected determines the maximum current and power output per device SeeTable 2 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 For Strobe Placement See NFPA 72 6 General Slotted head screws are used to attach each de or combination of devices to the electrical outlet Phillips head screws are used to attach accessories the horn Refer to Figures 3,4,5 and 6 for wiring Do not loop wires under the terminal screw Wires the device to the panel must be broken the device terminal connection in order to electrical supervision and strobe horn combination are de for wall mounting ONLY sounder is 1 1 4 deep Back boxes must be 4 by at least 1 1 2 deep 2 1 8 deep box is rec strobes must be mounted so that the top of the lens is inches 61 cm below ceilings or as required by the having jurisdiction 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 impaired 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 signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies Coded supplies produce interrupted power The strobe must have an unin source of dc power in order to operate correctly strobes may not prevent photosensitive reactions to signal in alarm condition 1 Vertical and horizontal light distribution 25 45 of ALL STROBES THAT ARE TO BE IN SYNC MUST BE ON THE SAME POWER CIRCUIT 2 SLOT C C
