Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert S/Vs with speaker and synchronized
strobe
Provide convenient installation to standard electrical boxes with
extensions. The enclosure designs are both impact and vandal resistant
and provide a convenient strobe intensity selection. You can select
each model for strobe intensity output. This minimizes on-site model
inventory and easily accommodates changes encountered during
construction.
Wall mount
S/V housings are a one-piece assembly, including lens, that mounts to
a 4 in. square electrical box with extension, see Wall mount installation
reference. You can quickly remove the cover with a tool and covers are
available separately for color conversion.
Ceiling mount
S/Vs also install using 4 in. electrical boxes with an extension. See Ceiling
mount S/V installation reference and 2905-9946 tile bridge dimensions.
Strobe Intensity Selection
During installation, a selection plug at the back of the housing
determines the desired strobe intensity. An attached flag with black
letters on a highly visible yellow background allows the selected intensity
to be seen at the side of the strobe lens.
Synchronized strobes
Multiple strobes
When multiple strobes and their reflections can be seen from one location, synchronized flashes reduce the probability of photo-sensitive reactions
as well as the annoyance and possible distraction of random flashing. The multi-candela strobes of these S/Vs are activated by NACs that provide the
Simplex synchronization format. For additional information, refer to data sheet S4905-0003.
Strobe application selection
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications of: the National Fire Alarm and
Signaling 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).
