INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS OR WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION,
INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
General Notes:
• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over their “Regulated Voltage Range”. Note that NFPA-72 specifies a flash rate
of 1 to 2 flashes per second and ADA Guidelines specify a flash rate of 1 to 3 flashes per second.
• All candela ratings represent minimum effective Strobe intensity based on UL Standard 1971.
• Series NS Strobe products are listed under UL Standard 1971 for indoor use with a temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and
maximum humidity of 93% (± 2%).
• Series NH horns are listed under UL Standard 464 for audible signal appliances (Indoor use only).
• “Regulated Voltage Range” is the newest terminology used by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior to this change UL used the
terminology “Listed Voltage Range”.

* RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method. UL
max current rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed
voltage range (16-33v for 24v units). For strobes the UL max
current is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16v for 24v
units). For audibles the max current is usually at the maximum
listed voltage (33v for 24v units). For unfiltered FWR ratings,
see installation instructions.
