SpectrAlert Advance Outdoor Strobe, and Horn Strobe Specifications

Architect/Engineer Specifications

General

SpectrAlert Advance outdoor horns, strobes, and horn strobes shall mount to a weatherproof back box. A universal mounting plate shall

be used for mounting ceiling and wall products. The notification appliance circuit wiring shall terminate at the universal mounting plate.

appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal 12 or 24 volts. When used with the Sync•Circuit Module, 12-volt-rated notification

appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 8.5 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt-rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between

16.5 and 33 volts. Outdoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between −40 and 151 degrees Fahrenheit from a regulated DC or full-

wave rectified unfiltered power supply. Strobes and horn strobes shall have field-selectable candela settings including 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95,

110, 115, 135, 150, 177, and 185.

Strobe

The strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1638 and shall be approved for fire protective service.

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

visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash

tube and associated lens/reflector system. The strobe must be installed with its weatherproof back box in order to remain outdoor approved

per UL. The strobe shall be suitable for use in wet environments.

Horn Strobe Combination

The horn strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1638 and UL 464 and shall be approved for

fire protective service. The horn strobe shall be wired as a primary-signaling notification appliance and comply with the Americans with

Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light

shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system. The horn shall have three audibility options and an option to switch

between a temporal three pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These options shall be set by a multiple position switch. On four-

wire products, the strobe shall be powered independently of the sounder. The horn strobe on a 2-wire model shall work on a non-coded power

supply. The horn on 4-wire horn strobe models shall operate on a coded or non-coded power supply. The horn strobe must be installed with

its weatherproof back box in order to remain outdoor listed per UL. The horn strobe shall be suitable for use in wet environments.
