GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These notification appliances
offer a wide range of audible devices for life
safety notification. Our horns and chimes come with 10 field selectable
tone and volume combinations for a wide range of systems. Horns come in
two attrac-tive mounting designs, standard and compact. They are intended
for indoor applications and approved for wall and ceiling mount
installations.
These horns are public mode notification appliances intended to alert
occu-pants of a life safety event. Chimes are private mode notification
appliances used to alert trained personnel to investigate possible
emergency situations and take appropriate action. Both the horn and the
chime are listed to ANSI/UL 464 requirements.
These notification appliances
are designed to be used in 12 VDC, 24VDC, or
24V FWR (full wave rectified) systems. AV devices can be activated by a
compat-ible
Triga
fire alarm control panel or power supply. The power
from these supplies can be either regulated or coded (pulsing) power
supplies. Refer to the appropriate fire alarm control panel manufacturer or
power supply for more information.
These wall horns and chimes come enabled with System Sensor
synchro-nization protocol which requires connections to a power supply
capable of generating the System Sensor synchronization pulses, a FACP
NAC output configured to System Sensor synchronization protocol, or the
use of MDL (3) module to generate the synchronization protocol.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72, requires that all au-
dible notification 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
recommends 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
The product line offers a wide variety of horn and chime tones for your life
safety needs, including temporal 3 pattern (
½
second on,
½
second off,
½
sec-
ond on,
½
second off,
½
second on, 1
½
off and repeat) which is specified by
ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling.
Both the horn and chime are compatible with coded power supplies. Coded
power supplies power the NAC and all connected AV devices with certain
power pattern that can be programmed from such power supplies. In this
mode there is no delay in device operations after the power is applied, the
sound will stop after the power is removed.
