General
L-Series audible visible notification products have features to maximize profits with lower current draw and modern aesthetics.
The L-Series offers the most versatile and easy-to-use line of low frequency sounder and low frequency sounder strobes in the industry. With white and red plastic housings, listed for wall and ceiling mounting, L-Series Low Frequency can meet virtually any application requirement.
To further simplify installation and protect devices from construction damage, L-Series uses 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, 24 volt operation, and a rotary switch for 520 Hz low frequency sounder
tones.
Features
- 520 Hz ± 10% square wave tone, NFPA compliance
- Full candela range plus High/Low tone options to optimize current draw for a wide variety of applications
- Compact, standard, and round ceiling options
- Rotary switch for High and Low, Temp 3 and Temp4 settings
- Plug-in design with minimal intrusion into the back box

Architects/Engineers Specifications
L-Series low frequency sounder and low frequency sounder strobes shall mount to a standard 4 × 4 × 1.5-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 × 1 7 /8-inch back box. A universal
mounting plate shall be used for mounting products. The notification
appliance circuit wiring shall terminate at the universal mounting
plate. Also, L-Series products, when used with the Sync•Circuit.
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, 24-volt-rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 16.5 and 33
volts. Indoor L-Series products shall operate between 32 and 120
degrees Fahrenheit (0°C to 49°C) from a regulated DC or full-wave
rectified unfiltered power supply. Low Frequency Sounder strobes
shall have field-selectable candela settings including 15, 30, 75, 95,
110, 135, 185. The field selectable tones will sound within the frequency range of 520 Hz ±10% square wave tone and have a permanent marking on the housing that reads “low frequency sounder”.
LOW FREQUENCY SOUNDER
The low frequency sounder shall be a System Sensor L-Series
Model listed to UL 464 and shall be approved for fire protective service. The low frequency sounder and the Sync•Circuit.
MDL3 Module accessory, if used, shall be powered from a notification appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal 24 volts
(includes fire alarm panels with built in sync). When used with the
Sync•Circuit Module MDL3, 24-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 16.5 to 33 volts. If the notification
appliances are not UL 9th edition listed with the corresponding panel
or power supply being used, then refer to the compatibility listing of
the panel to determine maximum devices on a circuit. The low frequency sounder has an option to switch between temporal three or
temporal four pattern, non-temporal (continuous) pattern and coded
supply within the frequency range of 520Hz ± 10% square wave
tone. The low frequency sounder shall operate on a coded or noncoded power supply with high and low volume settings.
