Mounting (Wall or Ceiling)
1. Attach mounting plate to junction box as shown in Fig-
ure 6. The mounting plate is compatible with 4˝ square,
double gang, and 4˝ octagon junction boxes (2-wire
products may be used with a single gang box). If using
a back box skirt, attach the mounting plate to the skirt
and then attach the entire assembly to the junction box
(see Figure 7).
Note:
For outdoor applications, the product must be
installed using the proper SpectrAlert Advance water-
tight junction box. The wall mount watertight junction
box must be mounted with its internal post in the lower
left corner as shown in Figure 8.
2. Connect field wiring according to terminal definitions.
3. If the product is not to be installed at this point, use the
dust cover to prevent contamination of the wiring termi-
nals of the mounting plate.
4. To attach product to mounting plate, hook tabs on the
product housing into the grooves on mounting plate.
Then, swing product into position to engage the pins on
the product with the terminals on the mounting plate.
Make sure that the tabs on the back of the product hous-
ing fully engage with the mounting plate.
5. Secure product by tightening the single mounting screw
in the front of the product housing.
Note:
Standard captured mounting screw may be re-
placed with enclosed torx screw for tamper resistance.

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 desired 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 bever-
ages. 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.
Note:
Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation.
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 in-
stalled in direct sunlight or areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual
flash might be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
the signal strobe may cause seizures.
Individuals who have positive photoic response
to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, 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 uninterrupted source of power in order
to operate correctly. System Sensor recommends that the horn and signal strobe always
be used in combination so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.

FCC Statement
SpectrAlert Strobes and Horn/Strobes have been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
