General Description  
Calculations are based on using the device current found  
in the subsequent charts and must be compatible with the  
current specified for the panel or power supply used.  
The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances  
offers a comprehensive range of red and white wall, ceiling,  
and outdoor products including horns, strobes, and horn/  
strobes. These products are electrically backward compat-  
ible with the previous generation of notification appliances.  
While there are products specifically designed for use on  
the ceiling or the wall, the products are listed to be used  
in either application, i.e., wall products could be used on  
the ceiling. SpectrAlert products are designed to be used  
in either 12 or 24 volt DC or full wave rectified (FWR) sys-  
tems. If required, the MDL module may be used in order to  
provide synchronization.  
Wire Sizes  
The designer must be sure that the last device on the circuit  
has sufficient voltage to operate the device within its rated  
voltage. When calculating the voltage available to the last  
device, it is necessary to consider the voltage drop due to  
the resistance of the wire. The thicker the wire, the smaller  
the voltage drop. Generally, for purposes of determining the  
wire size necessary for the system, it is best to consider all  
of the devices as “lumped” on the end of the supply circuit  
to simulate worst case. For the most accurate voltage drop  
calculations use the System Sensor voltage drop calculator  
available on the web or CD-ROM.  
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of  
this equipment.  
Fire Alarm System Considerations  
Approximate wire resistance:  
The National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, requires that all  
horns, used for building evacuation installed after July 1,  
1996, produce temporal coded signals. Signals other than  
those used for evacuation purposes do not have to produce  
the temporal coded signal.  
18 AWG solid: 8 ohms/1000 ft.  
16 AWG solid: 5 ohms/1000 ft.  
14 AWG solid: 3 ohms/1000 ft.  
12 AWG solid: 2 ohms/1000 ft.  
Note: If Class A wiring is installed, the wire length may be  
up to twice as long as on non-fault tolerant circuits.  
Power Supply Considerations  
Panels typically supply DC filtered voltage or FWR (full  
wave rectified) voltage. The system design engineer must  
calculate the number of units used on a loop based on the  
type of panel supply. Be certain the sum of all the device  
currents does not exceed the current capability of the panel.  
Note: For 24 volt applications, the total number of strobes  
on a single NAC must not exceed 40, with a maximum loop  
resistance of 120 ohms. For 12 volt applications, the total  
number of strobes must not exceed 12, with a maximum  
loop resistance of 30 ohms.

installed using the proper SpectrAlert Advance water-  
tight junction box. The wall mount watertight junction  
box must be mounted with its internal post in the lower  
left corner as shown in Figure 8.  
2. Connect field wiring according to terminal definitions.  
3. If the product is not to be installed at this point, use the  
dust cover to prevent contamination of the wiring termi-  
nals of the mounting plate.  
4. To attach product to mounting plate, hook tabs on the  
product housing into the grooves on mounting plate.  
Then, swing product into position to engage the pins on  
the product with the terminals on the mounting plate.  
Make sure that the tabs on the back of the product hous-  
ing fully engage with the mounting plate.

5. Secure product by tightening the single mounting screw  
in the front of the product housing.  
Note: Standard captured mounting screw may be re-  
placed with enclosed torx screw for tamper resistance.

Mounting (Wall or Ceiling)  
1. Attach mounting plate to junction box as shown in Fig-  
ure 6. The mounting plate is compatible with 4˝ square,  
double gang, and 4˝ octagon junction boxes (2-wire  
products may be used with a single gang box). If using  
a back box skirt, attach the mounting plate to the skirt  
and then attach the entire assembly to the junction box  
(see Figure 7).

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 bever-  
ages. 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.  
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

ranty for this product. No agent, representative, dealer, or employee of the  
Company has the authority to increase or alter the obligations or limitations  
of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be limited  
to the replacement of any part of the product which is found to be defective  
in materials or workmanship under normal use and service during the three  
year period commencing with the date of manufacture. After phoning System  
Sensor’s toll free number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a Return Authorization  
number, send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, Returns  
Department, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174. Please  
include a note describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure.  
The Company shall not be obligated to replace units which are found to be  
defective because of damage, unreasonable use, modifications, or alterations  
occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case shall the Company be  
liable for any consequential or incidental damages for breach of this or any  
other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever, even if the loss or damage  
is caused by the Company’s negligence or fault. Some states do not allow the  
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above  
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific  
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
FCC Statement  
SpectrAlert Strobes and Horn/Strobes have been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits  
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the  
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,  
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance  
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference  
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
