TrueAlert Addressable Notification Appliances

UL, ULC, CSFM Listed; Audible Notification Appliances;

FM Approved* Multi-Tone Horns with 520 Hz Output

Features
Individually addressed and controlled TrueAlert ES
multi-tone electronic horns:
 Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC
SLCs providing regulated 29 VDC allowing strobes to
operate with lower current even under battery backup
 Wiring supervision to each appliance allows “T-tapped”
connections for Class B circuits to simplify wiring
(Class A circuits require in/out wiring)
 Self-Test Mode allows an on-board sensor to detect the
horn output and then report its status to the control panel
 Per appliance tone selection of: 520 Hz Horn, Broadband
Horn, Bell, Chime, High/Low, Slow Whoop, or Siren;
programmable from the control panel, or selected using
an on-board DIP Switch (see sound output details on p. 4)
 520 Hz tone is compliant with NFPA 72 Low Frequency
Signal Requirements for Sleeping Areas
 Listed for wall or ceiling mount applications (blank
covers are recommended for ceiling mount applications) TrueAlert ES Multi-Tone Addressable Horns are Available
 Horn, Bell, and High/Low tones can be controlled as: in Red with White Lettering and White with Red Lettering
