SpectrAlert Electronic Chime Sound Output Guide

Chime Selection

Chimes are factory set for high volume, 1000Hz, 1 second chime. Tones
may be selected by making the appropriate settings on the Dip Switch
located on the printed circuit board. The settings required for the available
tone options are as follows:

SpectrAlert Chime Switch Settings

The same number of devices using 12 AWG wire will produce only 2 volts
drop. The same devices using 18 AWG wire will produce 8 volts drop.
Consult your panel manufacturer’s specifications, as well as SpectrAlert’s
operating voltage range to determine acceptable voltage drop.

SpectrAlert Electronic Chime Current Draw*

12VDC:

18–31mA

24VDC:

31–61mA

*Average current draw varies with tones selected. Current ratings per 
System Sensor testing at 12VDC and 24VDC.
