A field configurable jumper option is available for selecting the
desired strobe signal output.
The strobe includes a field configurable switch for selecting the
desired candela output. The candela output setting is locked in
place and remains visible after final installation.
This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to
comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired and the latest Canadian
standard CAN/ULC-S526. Synchronized operation requires a
separately installed synchronization control module. See
