Wall and Ceiling Mount S/Vs with Addressable Strobes 

Description 

 

Multi-Candela TrueAlert S/Vs with speaker and 
addressable strobe

 provide convenient installation to 

standard electrical boxes with extensions. The strobe is 
individually addressed and individually controlled with 
power, supervision, and control supplied from a Simplex 
fire alarm control panel providing 

IDNAC

 Signaling Line 

Circuits (SLCs). (See compatibility list on page 4.) 
Speakers are wired separately. 

Strobe Application Reference 

 

Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on 
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications 
of: the 

National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code

 

(NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model 
building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the 
application guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities 
Act (ADA). 

IDNAC SLC Operation Advantage 

 

TrueAlert S/V Appliances with Addressable 
Strobes on IDNAC SLCs

 provide visible notification 

using a single two-wire circuit that also 

confirms 

connection to the individual notification appliance’s 
electronic circuit

. This operation increases circuit 

supervision integrity by providing supervision that 
extends beyond the appliance wiring connections.
