NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
1.3 Before Installing
Please read the System Sensor Audible Visible Application Reference Guide, which provides detailed information on notification devices,
wiring and special applications. Copies of this manual are available from System Sensor. NFPA 72 and NEMA and CAN/ULC S524 guidelines should be observed.
Important: The notification appliance used must be tested and maintained following requirements of NFPA 72 in UL applications or
CAN/ULC S536 in ULC applications.
1.4 General Description
System Sensor series of notification appliances offer a wide range of audible and visible devices for life safety notification. Our 2-wire horn
strobes and strobes come with 8 field selectable tone and volume combinations and 7 field selectable candela settings. The devices are
intended for indoor applications and approved for wall-mount and ceiling-mount installations. Strobes and horn strobes are available in standard and compact versions.
Two-wire horn strobes and strobes are public mode notification appliances intended to alert occupants of a life safety event. The horn is
listed to ANSI/UL 464/ULC-S525 requirements (public mode) and the strobe is listed to ANSI/UL 1638/ULC-S526 (public mode).
Two-wire amber ALERT strobes are private mode notification appliances intended to alert trained personnel to investigate a life safety event.
The 2-wire strobe is listed to ANSI/UL 1638 (Private mode). (Not listed for Canadian applications)
System Sensor notification appliances are designed to be used in 24VDC systems. System Sensor AV devices can be activated by a compatible fire alarm control panel or power supply. Refer to the appropriate fire alarm control panel manufacturer or power supply for more information.
System Sensor wall 2-wire horn strobes and strobes are electrically backward compatible with the previous generation of notification appliances. They come enabled with System Sensor synchronization protocol which requires connections to a power supply capable of generating
the System Sensor synchronization pulses, a FACP NAC output configured to System Sensor synchronization protocol, or the use of a synchronization module to generate the synchronization protocol.

Fire Alarm System Considerations
Introduction
1.5 Fire Alarm System Considerations
The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72, and The National Building Code of Canada require that all notification appliances
used for building evacuation produce temporal coded signals. Signals other than those used for evacuation purposes do not have to produce
the temporal coded signal. System Sensor recommends spacing notification appliances in compliance with NFPA 72 (UL applications) or
CAN/ULC S524 (ULC applications).
1.6 System Design
The system designer must make sure that the total current draw by the devices 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 in the tables within the manual. For convenience and accuracy, use the voltage drop calculator on the System Sensor website
(www.systemsensor.com).
When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to consider the voltage due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker
the wire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained from electrical handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is
installed, the wire length may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not fault tolerant. Total number of strobes on a single
NAC must not draw more current than supported by the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).

Section 3: Installation
3.1 Wiring and Mounting
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electric Code (UL applications), (Canadian Electric Code (ULC applications),
and local codes as well as the authority having jurisdiction. Wiring must not be of such length or wire size which would cause the notification appliance to operate outside of its published specifications. Improper connections can prevent the system from alerting occupants in the
event of an emergency.
Wire sizes up to 12 AWG (2.5 mm²) may be used with the mounting plate. The mounting plate ships with the terminals set for 12 AWG field
wiring.
Make wire connections by stripping about 3/8" of insulation from the end of the field wire. Then slide the bare end of the wire under the
appropriate clamping plate and tighten the clamping plate screw.
We provide a wire strip guide. See Figure 6 for wiring terminals and strip guide reference.
3.2 Wiring Diagrams
The 2-wire horn strobe and strobe only require two wires for power and supervision. (See Figure 7.)
Shorting Spring Feature. These appliances enable system continuity checks of field wiring on the mounting plate before appliances are
installed. The mounting plate has a shorting spring between terminals 2 and 3 that will automatically disengage when the product is installed,
to enable supervision of the final system. (See Figure 6.)

WARNING
THE LIMITATIONS OF HORN/STROBES
The horn and/or strobe will not work without power. The horn/strobe gets its power
from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If power is cut off for any
reason, the horn/strobe will not provide the desired audio or visual warning.
The horn may not be heard. The loudness of the horn meets (or exceeds) current
Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn may not alert a sound
sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages.
The horn may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard
or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air
conditioners, machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from
hearing the alarm. The horn may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired.
NOTE: Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation.
The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses LEDs
with associated lens system. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must
not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles)
where the visual flash might be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen
by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photoic
response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid
prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals, including this strobe, are
activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded power
supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an uninterrupted source of
power in order to operate correctly. System Sensor recommends that the horn and
signal strobe always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the above
limitations are minimized.
