CANDELA SELECTION

Adjust the slide switch on the rear of the product to the desired candela set-
ting in the small window on the front of the unit. All products meet the light 
output profiles specified in the appropriate UL Standards. 

See Figures 1-3

Use 

Table 1

 to determine the current draw for each candela setting. For K 

series products used outdoors at low temperatures, listed candela ratings must 
be reduced in accordance with 

Table 2

NOTE:

 SpectrAlert products set at 15 and 15/75 candela automatically work 

on either 12V or 24V power supplies. The products are not listed for 12V op-
erating voltages when set to any other candela settings. For 4-Wire products, 
total current draw may be determined by adding current draw for the specific 
candela selection and the current draw for the specific horn selection use 

Table 1 and Table 3

HORN SELECTION

Turn the rotary switch on the back of the product to the desired setting. For 
horn and 4-wire horn/strobe products, the current draw for each setting is 
listed in 

Table 3

. For 2-wire horn/strobe products (P2 series), current draws 

are listed in 

Tables 4

 and

. The sound output measurement for each horn 

setting is shown in

NOTE:

 In positions 7, 8, and 9, temporal coding must be provided by the NAC. 

If the NAC voltage is held constant, the horn output will remain constantly on. 
Positions 7, 8, and 9 are not available on 2-wire horn/strobe products.
