SpectrAlert Advance selectable-output chimes and chime/ strobes are private mode notification appliances used to alert trained personnel to investigate possible emergency situations and to take appropriate action. Security guard and nurse workstations are ideal locations for chime products.

SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes are rich with features guaranteed to cut installation times and maximize profits.

The SpectrAlert Advance Series of notification appliances is designed to simplify your installations, with features such as plug-in designs, instant feedback messages to ensure correct installation of individual devices, and seven field-selectable candela settings for chime/strobes.

More specifically, when installing SpectrAlert Advance products, first attach a universal mounting plate to a four-inch square, four-inch octagon, single-gang, or double-gang junction box. Then, connect the notification appliance circuit wiring to the SEMS terminals on the mounting plate.

Finally, attach the chime or chime/strobe to the mounting plate by inserting the product’s tabs in the mounting plate’s grooves. The device is rotated into position, locking the product’s pins into the mounting plate’s terminals. The device will temporarily hold in place with a catch until it is secured with a captive mounting screw.

SpectrAlert Advance products allow you to choose:

• 12 or 24 volts

• At 24 volts, 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, or 115 candela by way of rear-mounted slide switch and front view window

• Select chime tones and volume using a simple rotary switch

SpectrAlert Advance Specifications

Architect/Engineer Specifications

General

SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes shall mount to a standard 4 × 4 × 1½-inch back box, 4-inch octagon back box, single-gang

2 × 4 × 17/8-inch back box, or double-gang back box. A universal mounting plate shall be used for mounting products. The notification appliance circuit wiring shall terminate at the universal mounting plate. Also, SpectrAlert Advance products, when used with the Sync•Circuit

Module accessory, shall be powered from a non-coded notification appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal 12 or 24 volts.

When used with the Sync•Circuit Module, 12-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between nine and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 17 and 33 volts. Indoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between

32 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit from a regulated DC, or full-wave rectified, unfiltered power supply. Chime/strobes shall have field-selectable candela settings of 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110 and 115.

Chime/Strobe Combination

The chime/strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1638 and UL 464. The chime/strobe shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system. The chime shall have two audibility options and an option to switch between a temporal three-pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These options are set by a multiple position switch.

Synchronization Module

The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit _______ listed to UL 464 and shall be approved for fire protective service. The module shall synchronize SpectrAlert strobes at 1Hz and chimes at temporal three. Also, while operating the strobes, the module shall silence the chimes on chime/strobe models over a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to a 411/16 × 411/16 × 21/8-inch 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 synchronize all the zones they control. The module shall not operate on a coded power supply.
