SHAVGS05 - VISIBLE SIGNALING APPLIANCE
ANSI/UL 1971 COMPLIANT
SHAVGS07 - VISIBLE AND AUDIBLE SIGNALING
APPLIANCE
ANSI/UL 1971 and ANSI/UL 464 COMPLIANT
I. INTRODUCTION
The Safety Hi-Tech model, SHAVGS05 is a high quality visible signaling appliance and the Safety Hi-Tech
model, SHAVGS07 is a high quality visible and audible signaling appliance. The high intensity strobe utilizes
a Xenon flash tube that generates a high-intensity flash visible from all angles. This appliance is intended to
provide a visible or audible/visible, depending on the model, notification signal for the purpose of life safety
and property protection. The SHAVGS05 and SHAVGS07 are provided with a slider switch which allows for
candela selection at the installation site; the candela intensities which can be selected are 15Cd, 30Cd, 60Cd,
75Cd, or 110Cd. This appliance is ideal for any occupancy that requires notification appliances per the
applicable building or fire code or wherever dependable alarms are required. The SHAVGS05 and
SHAVGS07 strobe is listed in compliance with ANSI/UL 1971, Signaling Appliances for the Hearing Impaired
II. LOCATION
This appliance is intended for use in Fire Alarm Systems and is to be installed in accordance with this
manual, the recommendation of the local authorities having jurisdiction, and other NFPA documents that
provide standards on notification appliances for protective signaling systems. The SHAVGS05 and
SHAVGS07 are intended for indoor installations only; this appliance is
not
listed for
outdoor
or drip proof
applications.
Wall mounted strobe and horn/strobe appliances shall have their entire lens at heights above the finished
floor of not less than 80 in. (2m) and not greater than 96 in. (2.4m)**. Spacing shall be in accordance with
Table A. If a room configuration is not square, the room size that will entirely encompass the room or
subdivide the room into multiple squares shall be used. Wall mounted horn only appliances shall have their
tops above the finished floors at heights of not less than 90 in. (2.30 m) and below the finished ceilings at
heights of not less than 6 in. (152 mm). Different mounting heights shall be permitted by the AHJ provided
the sound pressure level requirements of NFPA 72 are met.
III. MOUNTING, ROUGH-IN BOX AND RUN WIRING
This unit is designed for mounting to most single gang boxes, 4 in (10.16 cm) square outlet boxes, 2-gang
masonry boxes or non-metallic 2-gang switch boxes. Conduit entrance to boxes should be selected to insure
sufficient wiring clearance.
1. Run a minimum 18 gauge insulated 2 or more conductor cable.
2. Mount a box for each remote signaling appliance. Screw bracket onto box. Insert signal into bracket and
slide to the right firmly into the terminal block receptacle. Place housing over mounted assembly and
screw together with single screw at the bottom of the signal. Cover screw with plastic tab.
NOTICE:
WIRING SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO MOUNTING BRACKET PRIOR TO MOUNTING SIGNAL.
INCOMING POSITIVE POWER LEAD MUST BE BROKEN AND EACH LEAD IS TO BE INSERTED INTO
EACH OF THE TOP TWO TERMINALS. IF TWO POWER RUNS ARE MADE TO THE SIGNAL, ONE FOR
THE STROBE AND ONE FOR THE HORN, ONLY ONE OF THE RUNS MUST HAVE ITS POSITIVE LEAD
BROKEN AND PLACED UNDER THE TWO SEPARATE TOP TERMINALS. A BARRIER IS PROVIDED TO
PREVENT BOTH LEADS FROM BEING PLACED UNDER THE SAME TERMINAL.

NOTICE:

THE THREE PULSE TEMPORAL PATTERN IS TO BE USED FOR EVACUATION USE
ONLY.
w
THE SOUND OUTPUT FOR THE TEMPORAL 3 TONE IS RATED LOWER SINCE THE
TIME THE HORN IS OFF IS AVERAGED INTO THE SOUND OUT PUT RATING.
WHILE THE HORN IS PRODUCING A TONE IN THE TEMPORAL 3 MODE ITS SOUND
PRESSURE IS THE SAME AS THE CONTINUOUS MODE. UNITS HAVE BEEN
TESTED TO 0°C, 49°C AND 93% HUMIDITY.
* Operating the horn in this mode at this voltage will result in not meeting the minimum
ANSI/UL 464 sound level required for public mode fire protection service. These settings
are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm signaling use. Use the high dBA setting
for public mode applications (the chime tone is always private mode).
