Features
Individually addressed and controlled multi-candela
TrueAlert ES V/O (visible only) notification
appliances provide:
Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz flash
rate and with intensity
programmable from the control
panel
or jumper selected as 15, 30, 75, 110, 135, or 185 cd
Advanced addressable notification controlled by
IDNAC
SLCs
from Simplex
®
4100ES fire alarm control panels with
EPS/EPS+ power supplies (and 4009 IDNAC Repeaters)
providing
regulated 29 VRMS
allowing strobes to
operate with lower current even under battery backup
Wiring supervision to each appliance allowing
“T-tapped” connections for Class B circuits to simplify
wiring (Class A circuits require in/out wiring)
Self-Test Mode
allows an on-board sensor to detect the
strobe output and then report its status to the control
panel
TrueAlert Device Reports
at the control panel detailing
appliance point ID, custom label, type, and candela
setting (see sample on page 3)
Magnet Test diagnostics
to assist checkout and testing of
appliances and wiring and
Electrical test point access
without removing cover
Compatibility with ADA requirements; (refer to
important installation information on page 3)
Compatibility with legacy TrueAlert addressable systems
for upgrade and replacement (see page 4)
Listed to UL Standard 1971 and ULC Standard S526
LED Indicator and Magnet Test feature:
Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling
cycle to indicate appliance supervision
When the controller is in diagnostic mode, the Magnet
Test pulses the LED to indicate appliance address and
can be set to also briefly flash the strobe
Mechanical design features include:
Rugged, high impact, flame retardant thermoplastic
housing in red with white letters or white with red
letters, with clear lens, available with FIRE, ALERT,
FEU, FEU/FIRE, or blank lettering
Separate covers are available to change appliance type
on-site or for replacement; covers can be easily removed
without disturbing the connected housing and avoiding
trouble conditions
A separate mounting plate allows wiring to be completed
before appliance is mounted; use with single gang, double
gang, or 4-inch square box, flush or surface mount
In/out wiring terminals for 18 AWG to 12 AWG
Optional mounting adapters are available to cover
surface mounted electrical boxes and to adapt to
Simplex 2975-9145 boxes
Optional red wire guards (see page 2 for details)

TrueAlert ES Addressable Strobes are Available in Red
with White Lettering and White with Red Lettering
Description
TrueAlert ES addressable strobes
are individually
addressed visible notification appliances that receive
power, supervision, and control signals from a Simplex
fire alarm control panel providing
IDNAC
Signaling Line
Circuits (SLCs). (See compatibility list on page 4.)
Strobe Application Reference
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications
of: the
National Fire Alarm 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).
TrueAlert ES Operation Advantage
TrueAlert ES addressable appliances on IDNAC
SLCs
provide separate visible (and audible) 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.
Reduced current allows efficient IDNAC SLC
operation.
With
IDNAC SLCs
, a
constant
29 VRMS
source voltage is maintained, even during battery standby,
allowing strobes to operate at higher voltage with lower
current and ensuring a consistent current draw and voltage
drop margin under both primary power and secondary
battery standby. Efficiencies include wiring distances up to
2 to 3 times farther than with conventional notification, or
support for more appliances per IDNAC SLC, or use of
smaller gauge wiring, or combinations of these benefits, all
providing installation and maintenance savings with high
assurance that appliances that operate during normal system
testing will operate during worst case alarm conditions.
