Model AV1-N4X
1.0 Description
Detcon Model AV1-N4X audiovisual alarm stations are designed for installation and use in light industrial
environments. The alarm station consists of a strobe and siren. The strobe can consist of any dome color such
as amber, blue, clear, green, magenta, or red. The siren is capable of producing coded blasts or sustained
tones. Model AV1-N4X alarm assemblies are specifically designed for non-hazardous general-purpose
locations or environments where a very bright visual and high decibel alarm signal is required. The high-
intensity strobe light provides 60-80 flashes per minute. The siren produces a noise level of 99dbA @ 10 feet.
The light is UL listed and CSA Certified and meets Type 4X watertight, dust-tight requirements. The siren is
UL listed and CSA Certified. Alarm components are pre-assembled and packaged in a NEMA 4X rain tight
enclosure.
The alarm station can be wired to control circuit alarm devices for the purpose of warning personnel of
hazardous conditions. When used in conjunction with Detcon controllers, the alarm station is typically used to
provide an alarm 1 (strobe) and an alarm 2 (siren) for predetermined hazardous environmental gas levels (toxic
or flammable) as indicated by remote mount gas sensors. A terminal strip mounted on the base plate of the
enclosure is provided for power input and discrete switched power to both the strobe and the siren.
