Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert addressable amber lens
strobes
provide convenient installation to standard
electrical boxes. 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.)
These amber lens multi-candela strobes provide non-fire
alarm alert notification for use with Emergency
Communications systems where additional response
information is provided by audio or textual appliances.
Strobe Application Reference
Amber strobes used as part of an Emergency
Communications system are located to provide the same
area coverage as required of clear lens fire alarm strobes.
Specific Emergency Communications requirements are
discussed in detail in document UFC 4-021-01 (USA
Department of Defense, United Facilities Criteria) and in
NFPA 72, Chapter 24 (2010 and 2013 editions).
Proper strobe coverage criteria is further described in 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).
