Architectural/Engineering Specifications

General

The SW-ALERT and SWH-ALERT amber lens strobes shall mount to a standard 4 × 4 × 1½-inch back box, 4 inch octagon back box, single-gang or double-

gang back box. A universal mounting plate shall be used for mounting. The notification appliance circuit wiring shall terminate at the universal mounting

outputandshalloperateonanominal12or24volts.WhenusedwiththeSync•CircuitModule,12-voltratednotificationappliancecircuitoutputsshalloperate

between 9 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 17 and 33 volts. Indoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall

operate between 32°F and 120°F from a regulated DC, or full-wave rectified, unfiltered power supply. The SW-ALERT and SWH-ALERT amber lens strobe shall

have field selectable candela settings of 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, 115, 135, 150, 177, 185 listed under ANSI/UL 1638 (for reference, equivalent candela for ANSI/

UL 1971 is 12, 15/75, 24, 60, 75, 85, 90, 110, 120, 140, 150).

Strobe

The System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance SW-ALERT and SWH-ALERT amber lens strobes shall be approved for fire protective service as listed in ANSI/UL 1638.

The strobes shall be wired as a primary-signaling notification appliance and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling

appliances, flashing at 1Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system.
