Selectable Output Amber LensSpeaker/StrobeINSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, Illinois 601741-800-SENSOR2, FAX: 630-377-6495www.systemsensor.comNOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe SpectrAlert Advance amber lens strobe products offer an amber coloredstrobe with the word “ALERT” printed on the white housing to comply withthe latest standard for mass notification systems. They are designed to be usedin 12 or 24 volt, DC or FWR (full wave rectified) systems. Amber lens strobesare UL Listed under 1638 (Visual Signaling Appliances) for Private Mode Gen-eral Utility Signaling. Device may be mounted to either wall or ceiling. AllSpectrAlert Advance products are suitable for use in synchronized systems.The System Sensor MDL3 module may be used to provide synchronization.The speaker portion can be operated with distribution amplifiers having anoutput voltage of either 25 or 70.7 volts. With its low total harmonic distor-tion, the SpectrAlert Advance SP series offers high fidelity sound output. Thespeakers operate at any one of four input power levels. These products areelectrically backward compatible with the previous generation of SpectrAlertnotification appliances.FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONSAll wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code(NEC) and applicable local codes. System Sensor recommends installing firealarm speakers in compliance with NFPA 72, ANSI/UL1480 and NEC 760.LOOP DESIGN AND WIRINGThe system designer must make sure that the total current drawn by the de-vices on the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel supply,and that the last device on the circuit is operated within its rated voltage.The current draw information for making these calculations can be found inthe tables within this manual. For convenience and accuracy, use the voltagedrop calculator on the System Sensor website (www.systemsensor.com) orCD-ROM.When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary toconsider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker thewire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtainedfrom electrical handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is installed, the wirelength may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not faulttolerant.NOTE: For 24 volt applications, the total number of strobes on a single NACmust not exceed 40, with a maximum loop resistance of 120 ohms. For 12 voltapplications, the total number of strobes must not exceed 12, with a maxi-mum loop resistance of 30 ohms.NOTE: Supply power for strobe must be continuous for proper operation.I56-3935-004RSPECIFICATIONSOperating Temperature: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C)Humidity Range: 10% to 93% Non-condensingNominal Voltage: (speakers) 25 Volts or 70.7 Volts (nominal)Max.
