Notification Appliances—PS12/24ADA Series Signaling Strobe and Sounder 3
Introduction
This document contains important information about installing and
operating PS12/24ADA series signaling strobes and piezo electronic
sounders. These strobes and sounder/strobes are manufactured by System
Sensor for use with Johnson Controls systems. The strobes are UL 1971
Listed for signaling devices for the hearing impaired. Those models that
produce 75 candela (cd) meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
light output requirements of 75 cd on axis. Those strobes that produce less
than 75 candela may be considered as meeting ADA equivalency
requirements when applied per the National Fire Protection Association
National Fire Code Standard (NFPA-72) and with the approval of the local
authority having jurisdiction.
These instructions apply to the entire PS12/24ADA series signaling
strobes and sounders. Follow only those instructions that apply to the
model you are installing. If you install this strobe for someone else to use,
you must leave a copy of this document with the user.
Before you install any PS12/24ADA series signaling strobes and sounders,
read and be familiar with:
●
the control panel system installation manual
●
the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction
●
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA)-72-National Fire Alarm Code
●
System Sensor Strobe Compliance Reference Guide, which provides
detailed information on strobe spacing, placement, zoning, and ADA
requirements
●
or, for non-United States installations, applicable codes and standards
specific to the country and locality of installation
Failure to follow these directions may result in failure of the device to
report an alarm or trouble condition. Johnson Controls is not responsible
for devices that have been improperly installed, tested, or maintained
by others.
As is the case with all installations under NFPA, Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (UL), Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC), or
Canadian Electrical Code classification, final written approval of
permissible operation and configuration rests with the authority having
jurisdiction.
