GENERAL:
The Multi-Candela Supervised Self-Amplified Speaker Strobe is UL Listed under Standards UL 1971 (Standard for Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired) and UL 1480 (Standard for Speakers for Fire Alarm, Emergency, and Commercial and
Professional Use) for indoor fire protection service and provides a choice of 6 different sound output levels and operates with audio
input levels of 0.5 V RMS (e.g., from Wheelock’s SALL-15S or any other 0.5V-RMS audio output source Listed for Fire Protective
Signaling Service) and 25 V RMS, all by means of selectable switch settings. The Low Profile design incorporates a high efficiency
speaker for maximum output at minimum power across a frequency range of 400Hz to 4000Hz, and features a sealed back
construction for extra protection and improved audibility. The appliance mounts onto a 4” square deep backbox with an extension
ring. (See Mounting Options.) All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring
via a Control Panel.
The SA Series
Multi-Candela Speaker Strobe provides four selectable light output intensities in one unit and can provide a
non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe
appliance when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock’s Power Supplies listed for
synchronization. The Strobe uses a Xenon flashtube with solid-state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan
lens to provide maximum
visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling. The SA Series
is listed for
indoor use, wall mount only
