The sounder and/or strobe will not work without power.
The sounder/strobe gets its
power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If power is cut off for
any reason, the sounder/strobe will not provide the desired audio or visual warning.
The sounder may not be heard.
The loudness of the sounder meets (or exceeds) cur-
rent Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. Studies have shown that the low frequency
sounder (520Hz) is more effective at waking individuals in sleeping spaces, especially
individuals that may have recently used drugs or drinking alcoholic beverages. The
sounder may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or
if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners,
machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm.
The low frequency sounder may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired.
NOTE:
Strobes must be powered continuously for sounder operation.
The signal strobe may not be seen.
The electronic visual warning signal uses an extremely
reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must not be in-
stalled in direct sunlight or areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual
flash might be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures.
Individuals who have positive photoic response
to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid prolonged
exposure to environments in which strobe signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies.
Coded power supplies
produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an uninterrupted source of power in
order to operate correctly. System Sensor recommends that the sounder and signal strobe
always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the above limitations are
minimized.

FCC STATEMENT
SpectrAlert Strobes and Low Frequency Sounder/Strobes have been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful inter-
ference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
