BEFORE INSTALLING
Please read the System Sensor Audible Visible Application Reference Guide,
which provides detailed information on notification devices, wiring and spe-
cial applications. Copies of this manual are available from System Sensor.
NFPA 72 and NEMA guidelines should be observed.
Important:
The notification appliance used must be tested and maintained
following NFPA 72 requirements.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These notification appliances
offer a wide range of audible and visible devices
for life safety notification. Our 2-wire horn strobes, chime strobes and strobes
come with 8 field selectable tone and volume combinations and 7 field select-
able candela settings. Intended for indoor applications and approved for ceil-
ing mount installations.
These 2-wire horn strobes and strobes are public mode notification appliances
intended to alert occupants of a life safety event. The 2-wire chime strobe
is a private mode notification appliance. The horn is listed to ANSI/UL 464
requirements (public mode) and the strobe is listed to ANSI/UL 1638 (public
mode). 2-wire chime strobe is a private mode notification appliances intended
to alert trained personnel to investigate a life safety event and take appropriate
actions. The chime portion of the chime strobe is listed to ANSI/UL 464 (pri-
vate mode) and the strobe portion is listed to ANSI/UL 1638 (private mode).
These strobes are designed to be used in 12 VDC, 24VDC, or 24V FWR (full
wave rectified) systems. AV devices can be activated by a compatible Triga
fire alarm control panel or power supply. Refer to the appropriate fire alarm
control panel manufacturer or power supply for more information.
These ceiling 2-wire horn strobes, 2-wire chime strobes, and strobes come
enabled with System Sensor synchronization protocol which requires connec-
tions to a power supply capable of generating the System Sensor synchroniza-
tion pulses, a FACP NAC output configured to System Sensor synchronization
protocol, or the use of MDL3 module to generate the synchronization protocol.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72, requires that all noti-
fication appliances, used for building evacuation installed after July 1, 1996,
produce temporal coded signals. Signals other than those used for evacuation
purposes do not have to produce the temporal coded signal. Triga recom-
mends spacing notification appliances in compliance with NFPA 72.
SYSTEM DESIGN
The system designer must make sure that the total current draw by the devices
on the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel supply, and
that the last device on the circuit is operated within its rated voltage. The cur-
rent draw information for making these calculations can be found in the tables
within the manual.
When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to
consider the voltage due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the wire, the
smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained from electri-
cal handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is installed, the wire length may
be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not fault tolerant.
The total number of strobes on a single NAC must not exceed 69 for 24 volt
applications.
AVAILABLE TONES
These models offer a wide variety of tones for your life safety needs, including
temporal 3 pattern (½ second on, ½ second off, ½ second on, ½ second off,
½ second on, 1½ off and repeat) which is specified by ANSI and NFPA 72 for
standard emergency evacuation signaling.
To select the tone, turn the rotary switch on the back of the product to the
desired setting. (See Figure 1.) Available horn settings can be found in Table 1.
Available chime settings can be found in Table 2.
AVAILABLE CANDELA SETTINGS
These models offer a wide range of candela settings for your life safety needs.
In order to select your candela output, adjust the slide switch on the rear of the
product to the desired candela setting on the selector switch. (See Figure 2.)
The candela setting can also be verified by looking into the small window on
the front of the unit. See Table 3 for candela settings for ceiling products. All
products meet the light output profiles specified in the appropriate UL Stan-
dards. (See Figures 3 to 5.)
