cans with Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling
appliances, flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating
voltage range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash
tube and associated lens/reflector system.
HORN STROBE COMBINATION
The horn strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert
Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1971 and UL 464 and
shall be approved for fire protective service. The horn strobe
shall be wired as a primary-signaling notification appliance
and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act require-
ments for visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1 Hz over
the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light
shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflec-
tor system. The horn shall have three audibility options and
an option to switch between a temporal three-pattern and a
non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These options shall be
set by a multiple position switch. The horn and horn strobe
models shall operate on a coded or non-coded power supply.
SPEAKER STROBE COMBINATION
The speaker strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert
Advance Model __________ listed to UL 1480 and UL 1971
and be approved for fire protective signaling systems.
Speaker shall be capable of operating at 25.0 or 70.7 nomi-
nal Vrms selected via rotary switch, and shall have a fre-
quency range of 400 to 4000 Hz. Speaker shall have power
taps that are selected by rotary switch. The strobe shall com-
ply with the NFPA 72 requirements for visible signaling appli-
ances, flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating
voltage range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash
tube and associated lens/reflector system.
OUTDOOR PRODUCTS
SpectrAlert Advance outdoor strobes, horn strobes and
speaker strobes shall be listed for outdoor use by UL and
shall operate between –40°F and 151°F (–40°C and 66°C).
The products shall be listed for use with a System Sensor
outdoor/weatherproof back box with half-inch and three-
fourths-inch conduit entries.
SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE
The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit model
MDL3R or MDL3W listed to UL 464 and shall be approved for
fire protective service. The module shall synchronize Spec-
trAlert strobes at 1 Hz and horns at temporal three. Also,
while operating the strobes, the module shall silence the
horns on horn strobe models over a single pair of wires. The
module shall mount to a 4 11/16 x 4 11/16 x 2 1/8-inch (11.90
x 11.90 x 5.40 cm) back box. The module shall also control
two Style Y (class B) circuits or one Style Z (class A) circuit.
The module shall synchronize multiple zones. Daisy chaining
two or more synchronization modules together will synchro-
nize all the zones they control. The module shall not operate
on a coded power supply.
COLOR LENS STROBE ATTACHMENT
The System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance color lens attach-
ments shall be approved for fire protective service as listed in
UL 1638. The lens attachments shall only be used with (plain
non-fire-printed) System Sensor strobe devices. They shall
mount to any wall or ceiling strobe and be rated from –35°F
to 151°F (-37°C to 66°C).
