Features
Individually addressed and controlled multi-candela
TrueAlert ES weatherproof notification appliances
for extended temperature and humidity range
provide:
- Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz flash rate and with intensity programmable from the control panel or jumper selected as 15, 75, WP 75, or WP 185 cd
- Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC SLCs providing regulated 29 VDC allowing strobes to operate with lower current even under battery backup
- Wiring supervision to each appliance allowing “T-tapped” connections for Class B circuits to simplify wiring (Class A circuits require in/out wiring)
- Self-Test Mode allows on-board sensors to detect the strobe and horn output and then report their status to the control panel
- TrueAlert Device Reports at the control panel detailing appliance point ID, custom label, type, and candela setting (see sample on page 3)
- Magnet Test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing of appliances and wiring
- Electrical test point access without removing cover
LED Indicator and Magnet Test feature:
- Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling cycle to indicate appliance supervision
- When the controller is in diagnostic mode, the Magnet Test pulses the LED to indicate appliance address and can be set to also briefly flash the strobe and sound the A/V horn
Mechanical design features include:
- Rugged, high impact, flame retardant thermoplastic housing in red with white letters or white with red letters, with clear lens
- Standard models are available with FIRE lettering or blank; configured models are available with additional lettering of FEU, FEU/FIRE, ALERT, and blank
- Mounting is to matching weatherproof boxes (required), ordered separately
- Separate covers are available to change application type on-site or for replacement
- In/out wiring terminals for 18 AWG to 12 AWG
- Enclosure is rated NEMA 3R
- Convenient wiring terminal access at front of housing
Agency listings reference:
- UL 1638 listed for outdoor applications with strobe rated at 75 cd (WP75) or 185 cd (WP185)
- UL 1971 listed for indoor applications with strobe intensity selectable as 15 or 75 cd; indoor applications are compatible with ADA requirements (refer to important mounting information on page 3)
- Horn operation is listed to UL Standard 464
- Refer to data sheet S49WP-0002 for ULC listed models
Description
TrueAlert ES weatherproof addressable
appliances provide visible and audible/visible
notification for indoor and outdoor, extended temperature
and extended humidity applications. They are individually
addressed and receive power, supervision, and control
signals from a Simplex fire alarm control panel providing
IDNAC Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs). (See
compatibility list on page 4.)
Strobe Application Reference
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications
of: the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), ANSI
A117.1; the appropriate model building code: BOCA,
ICBO, or SBCCI; and the application guidelines of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
