General
System Sensor® SpectrAlert® Advance selectable-output
horns, strobes and horn/strobes are rich with features guaran-
teed to cut installation times and maximize profits. The Spec-
trAlert Advance series of notification appliances is designed to
simplify your installations, with features such as: plug-in
designs, instant feedback messages to ensure correct installa-
tion of individual devices, and eleven field-selectable candela
settings for wall and ceiling strobes and horn/strobes.
More specifically, when installing Advance products, first
attach a universal mounting plate to a four-inch square, four-
inch octagon, or double-gang junction box. The two-wire
mounting plate attaches to a single-gang junction box.
Then, connect the notification appliance circuit wiring to the
SEMS terminals on the mounting plate.
Finally, attach the horn, strobe, or horn/strobe to the mounting
plate by inserting the product’s tabs in the mounting plate’s
grooves. The device will rotate into position, locking the prod-
uct’s pins into the mounting plate’s terminals. The device will
temporarily hold in place with a catch until it is secured with a
captured mounting screw.

• 12 or 24 volts.
• 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, 115, 135, 150, 177, or 185 can-
