The horn and/or strobe will not work without power.
The horn/strobe
gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If
power is cut off for any reason, the horn/strobe will not provide the de-
sired audio or visual warning.
The horn may not be heard.
The loudness of the horn meets (or exceeds)
current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn may not
alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been
drinking alcoholic beverages. The horn may not be heard if it is placed on
a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far away to be
heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery
or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hearing the
alarm. The horn may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired.
The signal strobe may not be seen.
The electronic visual warning signal
uses an extremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every
second. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high
light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might be disre-
garded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures.
Individuals who have positive
photic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epi-
lepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe
signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded
power supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an unin-
terrupted source of power in order to operate correctly. System Sensor rec-
ommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combination
so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.
