SmartSync Operation Audible/Visible Notification with Horn and Synchronized Flash, Non-Addressable

Wall and Ceiling Mount A/Vs

Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert A/Vs with horn and synchronized strobe provide convenient installation to standard electrical boxes. The enclosure designs are both impact and vandal resistant and provide a convenient strobe intensity selection. Since each model can be selected for strobe intensity output, on-site model inventory is minimized and changes encountered during construction can be easily accommodated. Wall mount A/V housings are a one-piece assembly (including lens) that mounts to a single or double gang, or 4 square standard electrical box. The cover can be quickly removed (a tool is required) and covers are available separately for color conversion. Ceiling mount A/Vs install using standard 4 electrical boxes. Color choice is determined by model number.

Strobe Intensity Selection

During installation, a selection plug at the back of the housing determines the desired strobe intensity. An attached flag with black letters on a highly visible yellow background allows the selected intensity to be seen at the side of the strobe lens.

Strobe Application Selection

Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications of: the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the application guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

SmartSync Two-Wire Control

SmartSync operation mode allows a two-wire circuit to provide the ability to activate both the horn and strobe on the same NAC and then allow the horn to be silenced while the strobe remains flashing. The horn operates as on-until-silenced while the strobe operation is on-until-reset.

Synchronized Strobes
Multiple Strobes. When multiple strobes and their reflections can be seen from one location, synchronized flashes reduce the probability of photo-sensitive reactions as well as the annoyance and possible distraction of random flashing. The multi-candela strobes of these A/Vs are synchronized by the controlling SmartSync operation NAC.

SmartSync Control Sources

4006, 4008, 4100U, and 4010 Fire Alarm Control Panels (refer to individual product data sheets for more information) 4009 IDNet NAC Extender (refer to data sheet S4009-0002) SmartSync Control Module (SCM) 4905-9938 (refer to data sheet S4905-0003) Additional SmartSync compatible notification appliances include separate horns and combination horn/strobe notification appliances.

Maximum RMS Current Rating per Strobe Setting (see Note 3 below) Reference RMS Currents at other voltages 18 VDC 24 VDC

NOTES: 1. Regulated 24 DC refers to the voltage range of 16 to 33 VDC per UL Standard 1971, Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired, changes effective May 1, 2004. This voltage range is the absolute operating range. Operation outside of this range may cause permanent damage to the appliance. Please note that 16 VDC is the lowest operating voltage that is allowed at the last appliance on the NAC under worst case conditions. 2. Coded values are typical of the output measured with a Temporal coded or a March Time coded pulse and with a sound level meter reading on a fast setting. Polar dispersion per ULC S525 testing = -3 dBA at +/-40 off-axis; -6 dBA at +/- 50 off-axis. 3. Currents are with horn on steady. The maximum RMS current listed is the device nameplate rating. Strobe designs are constant wattage and the maximum RMS current rating occurs at the lowest allowable operating voltage. (RMS is root mean square and refers to the effective value of a varying current waveform.)
