GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances offers a wide range
of horns, strobes, and horn/strobes, for wall and ceiling applications, indoors
and outdoors. They are designed to be used on 12 or 24 volt, DC or FWR
(full wave rectified) systems. These products are electrically backward compat-
ible with the previous generation of SpectrAlert notification appliances. Horn/
strobe products are available in two versions. The 2-wire products fit systems
where a single NAC controls both horn and strobe. The 4-wire products are in-
tended for systems which have separate wiring circuits for the horn and strobe.
All SpectrAlert Advance products are suitable for use in synchronized systems.
The System Sensor MDL3 module may be used to provide synchronization.
K Series products are designed to be used over a wider range of temperatures
and are suitable for use in wet environments with outdoor backbox supplied
with product.
Wall and ceiling products may be used interchangeably (wall products
may be used on the ceiling and ceiling products may be used on the wall.)
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, requires that all horns, used for
building evacuation produce temporal coded signals. Signals other than those
used for evacuation purposes do not have to produce the temporal coded sig-
nal. System Sensor recommends spacing notification appliances in compli-
ance with NFPA 72.
LOOP DESIGN AND WIRING
The system designer must make sure that the total current drawn by the de-
vices 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
current draw information for making these calculations can be found in the
tables within this manual. For convenience and accuracy, use the voltage drop
calculator on the System Sensor website (www.systemsensor.com).
When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to
consider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the
wire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained
from electrical 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.
NOTE:
The total number of strobes on a single NAC must not exceed 40 for
24 volt applications or 12 for 12 volt applications. Loop resistance on a single
NAC should not exceed 120 ohms for 24 volt and 30 ohms for 12 volt systems.
