The SpectrAlert Advance series offers the most versatile and
easy-to-use line of horns, strobes, and horn strobes in the industry.
With white and red plastic housings, wall and ceiling mounting
options, and plain and FIRE-printed devices, SpectrAlert Advance
can meet virtually any application requirement.
Like the entire SpectrAlert Advance product line, wall-mount horns,
strobes, and horn strobes include a variety of features that increase
their application versatility while simplifying installation. All devices
feature plug-in designs with minimal intrusion into the back box,
making installations fast and foolproof while virtually eliminating
costly and time-consuming ground faults.
To further simplify installation and protect devices from construction
damage, SpectrAlert Advance utilizes a universal mounting plate
with an onboard shorting spring, so installers can test wiring
continuity before the device is installed.
Installers can also easily adapt devices to a suit a wide range of
application requirements using field-selectable candela settings,
automatic selection of 12- or 24-volt operation, and a rotary switch
for horn tones with three volume selections.
Architect/Engineer Specifications
General
SpectrAlert Advance horns, strobes, and horn strobes shall mount to a standard 4 × 4 × 11⁄2-inch back box, 4-inch octagon back box, or
double-gang back box. Two-wire products shall also mount to a single-gang 2 × 4 × 17⁄8-inch 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.
Also, SpectrAlert Advance products, when used with the Sync•Circuit TM Module accessory, shall be powered from a non-coded notification
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. Indoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between 32 and 120 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.
Horn Strobe Combination
The horn strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1971 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 are set by a multiple position switch. On four-wire
products, the strobe shall be powered independently of the sounder. The horn on horn strobe models shall operate on a coded or non-coded
power supply.
Synchronization Module
The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit model MDL3 listed to UL 464 and shall be approved for fire protective service. The module
shall synchronize SpectrAlert strobes at 1 Hz and horns at temporal three. Also, while operating the strobes, the module shall silence the horns
on horn strobe models over a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to a 411⁄16 × 411⁄16 × 21⁄8-inch back box. The module shall also
control two Style Y (class B) circuits or one Style Z (class A) circuit. The module shall synchronize multiple zones. Daisy chaining two or more
synchronization modules together will synchronize all the zones they control. The module shall not operate on a coded power supply.
