Note 2:
All models can be powered using full wave rectified unfiltered
supplies. Under no circumstances can SS24ADA or
MAEH24ADA series devices input voltage exceed 33 VDC or be
less than 16 VDC (16-33Vrms for full-wave rectified, unfiltered
supplies). Under no circumstances can the MA12/24EH input

General Description
The National Fire Protection Association has published standards
and recommended practices for the installation and use of the
listed appliances.It is recommended that the installer be familiar
with these requirements, with local codes, and any special re-
quirements of the local fire authority having jurisdiction.
The Multi-Alert sounder and signaling strobe are intended to be
connected to the alarm indicating circuit of a UL-listed fire alarm
control panel. Both are compatible with DC line supervision. The
electronic sounder can be connected to either 12 or 24 VDC pan-

Table 1. SS12/24ADA Series electrical ratings:
NOTE:
In-rush current dura-
tion is less than 20 microsec-
onds (.00002 seconds).
els. Models SS2415ADA, SS2475ADA, SS24110ADA,
SS241575ADA, and combination models incorporating these
strobes, require 24 volt panels. Models SS1215ADA,
SS121575ADA, MAEH1215ADA, and MAEH121575ADA require
12 volt panels. Panels may have full-wave rectified, unfiltered
power supplies. The strobes produce one flash per second (nomi-
nal) with continuous nominal voltage applied.
The MA12/24EH is suitable for outdoor applications (-35
°
to 66
°
C) when it is used with a WBB Weatherproof Back Box. The sig-
naling strobe is rated for 0
°
to 49
°
C and is NOT suitable for out-
door use.
The rated light output of the SS2415ADA, SS1215ADA,
Table 2. Sound output and current ratings for the MA12/24EH:
voltage exceed 33 VDC or be less than 9.6 VDC. Under no cir-
cumstances can a SS12ADA or MAEH12ADA series device input
voltage exceed 18.7 VDC or be less than 9.6 VDC (9.6 - 18.7
Vrms for full-wave rectified, unfiltered supplies).
Note 3:
Measured at 10 feet in an anechoic chamber.
Note 4:
Measured in a UL reverberant room.
